We won!

Yesterday, Mitt Romney won 51% in Nevada! So awesome! The next was Ron Paul with like 14%. So we really swept Nevada, even liberal Clark County!
The caucus experience was interesting. This is the first time Nevada’s done one, so definitely a learning experience. I’m glad they have 4 years to improve the process. Hopefully when it’s time to do it again, the Republican Party will be more organized about it, and make people more aware of it earlier.
So, I was the precinct chair over 3 precincts. In one, only 3 people turned out, and they each voted for a different candidate. In another, only one guy came. And in ours, we had nine people, and Romney got 6 votes. The other 3 votes were split between 3 different candidates. Our precinct got 5 delegates to the county convention. Adam and I are both going to be delegates. Two friends of ours from the ward are also going to be delegates, and one other guy is going.
All in all it was a fun experience, and I’m really glad I got to be a part of it. I think next time, I’d like to be involved earlier on in the process.
Last night we had a “caucus party” with a ton of our friends. That was fun, but it always is! We watched the results from South Carolina, where most of us were really hoping for a Thompson victory (as we knew Romney was not going to win there). I really like Thompson a lot, and I’m in favor of just getting McCain and Huckabee defeated. I’m really worried Thompson might drop out of the race now, which would be horrible. He’s got to stay in, at least to just take votes from those two. In my ideal world, I would LOVE to see a Romney/Thompson ticket! How awesome would that be?! Anyhow, we’ve got three wins under our belt (Wyoming, Michigan, and Nevada), and we are leading with delegates. So, we still had plenty of reason to celebrate. Let’s just pray that it keeps up this way!
