It was caucus day in Washington State today! I had a total blast at my caucus. I met a bunch of my neighbors and got to witness plenty of mayhem and revelry. And, my precinct elected me to serve as one of our four Obama delegates! That means I will be representing the Obama supporters from my precinct at the Legislative District Caucus in April. Who knows, maybe I’ll make it all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Denver (doubtful.) I’m really looking forward to this next caucus, especially since three of us Obama delegates are knitters! We’re going to have a really fun time.
In honor of today’s events, I got up early and made these Democratic Party-inspired cookies. The cookie cutter that I bought was supposed to be a donkey but it really looks more like a dog or hyena or something. Still, at least they are very patriotic-looking hyenas. I brought the cookies over to my parents’ house this evening where my whole family congregated to share stories from our respective caucuses and watch the caucus results on the news. Hooray for the democratic process!
