I caucused for both!
Remember how I was torn between Edwards and Biden? Well there ended up being only 14 Biden supporters -- 25 was needed for viability -- and there were 33 Edwards supporters. So I hopped over to Biden, told them I was caucusing for Biden symbolically but was really for Edwards and hoped they'd join (there were 80+ Hillary supporters and 37 Obama people). After the Biden and Dodd groups were declared non-viable (Dodd had 4), I brought at least 12 people over to Edwards. The Dodd people eventually also joined, a few undecideds came over, and we even imported an Obama supporter, bringing us to an even 50, topping Obama's 39.

Never did I think that my wavering for Biden would help Edwards out so much.

1. Good job. I like Edwards too. Nothing against the other good
Democrats but Edwards is the one I will be supporting. How exciting it must have been to be there? What a great turnout for the Democrats.

3. I didn't caucus for anybody
With only two delegates to be awarded and such a high turnout I wasnt necessary. So I just stayed uncommited and took notes like a good caucus secretary. :shrug:
