7th was done and out the door by 1pm.

Tasso & Angelia Knight, Mike Berlon and Stephen & Jay did a terrific job making sure everything ran smoothly.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone for coming out today!

Big thanks to Rep. Rick Crawford, Regina Roberts (11th District Vice Chair), Mason Brumby (Polk Chair) and everybody from the Polk Democratic Party for all of their help!

Angela won to represent Hillary
Will Fowlkes won to represent Hillary
Beth Hand also won to represent HRC. I know these folks worked their butts off, and are deserving of this honor.

5th Congressional District reporting in. Obama votes being counted now. Some folks still gathered and chatting.
I expect results by 5PM or so. LOTS of people here today - no official count but I estimate 1100 or so.

Great gathering of enthusiastic Democrats!

Wow! I have never been prouder to be a Georgia Democrat than today. Dennis Marks asked CD1 first vice chair Jaki Johnson to direct our caucuses.The Ware County Courhtouse was FULL. There literally have not been that many south Georgia Democrats come out of the swamp to elect DNC delegates since 1988.Even with unexpected numbers, Jaki and her volunteers handled everything “smooth as silk.” Thanks go to her Ware County volunteers and a young man named Andy from Folkston Georgia who started attending DPG events at age 14. BTW, Sgt. Jaki did all this was being Ware county Dems chair and getting ready to launch her second campaign to attempt to oust doing nothin’ Hatfield from the House.
I conducted the Hillary caucus where Beverly Leapheart won the only Hillary delegate seat from the 1st. I was able to leave Waycross by 11:30. But Jerome Tucker and Jaki were still counting Obama votes.

Joann Locascio from the thrid cd won a delegate slot as an Obama delegate! I can’t wait to tell Rubyduby!

In the 7th, I didn’t hear who won the Clinton delegate slot. The room was noisy, and I couldn’t tell which guy won.

Patricia Ann Smith, Steffini Bethea, and Preston Harden were selected as Obama delegates, and Megan Kline won as an alternate.

Anyone have any updates on the 2nd? Curious to see if Hooks and James won the Obama slots.

Ken Dious and Gwen O’Looney won on the Obama side with David Jarrett as the alternate in the 10th with Chris Horan won on the Clinton female side. Franklin Delano Williams edged out Lowell Greenbaum by 2 votes for the male Clinton Delegate.

As a Clinton staffer, I am beyond ecstatic about our delegates going to Denver (minus 1 or 2 hiccups).

The folks that stood by us every day and night won!!

Denver ain’t gonna no what happened to it when the Georgia delegation for Hillary hits town!!

Unwind? I can’t seem to get away from politics. I’ve just finished recording the latest Georgia Politics Podcast (posted soon at www.gapodcastnetwork.com) and will soon be chatting with my buddies on the Kudzu Vine.

But later this week I’m going to see Bruce Springsteen!

Is there going to be a place where they announce all the winners from the district caucuses?

(Jules on

Hey jac.. I wondered the same thing, but then I heard that a whole bunch of elections are being challenged so maybe not till they are certified..

I haven’t heard a word about the 6th for Obama.

Jules, I heard Steve Deak lost in the 6th :-(
I posted my experience on my blog: http://www.somehumanevents.com/blog/index.cfm?Fuseaction=ViewBlog&BlogTopicID=3459 along with photos: http://www.somehumanevents.com/photogallery/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Thumbnails&id=2032

Hi guys. Yes, Steve Deak did lose for the 7th District male Obama delegate.

Nasty politics as usual…

the irony that an obama supporter lost because of nasty politics as usual.

Hope that is actually ironic and not ironic because i say it is ironic and its not actually ironic.
