Toad Goes Acaucusin’

Having said that, I've become curious, in my own way, about this year's events. So much so that last Friday, I went to hear Michelle Obama speak at the Fox theater in Spokane. I was one of the last ones to get into the theater, so I had to stand at the back and sit on a bench and look through a window to see the proceedings. There was a lot of banner waving and cheering inside the theater, but it was quiet in the lobby, so we could hear things over the speaker system, I suppose. Mrs. Obama's speech was inspiring, but general. It was very well done, but non-specific. I did learn more about her, and her husband. I liked what I learned, and what I heard. She seemed genuine, likable, and human. I felt just inspired enough after her speech, to attend a caucus the following day, at Glover Middle School/Toadman, Synaptic Disunion. More here

Question: How would you rate your involvement in the prez election over previous years? More engaged? Less engaged? Same-o?
