Here we are, awaiting the New Hampshire results, after participating in direct democracy here in Groton. Some people may not have been aware that there were caucuses in Groton tonight. For reasons readily apparent, they did not get nearly the attention of the Iowa caucuses. In any event, the results are in, and a new Groton Democratic Town Committee has been chosen. In our district exactly 6 registered Democrats showed up, to vote on a slate of candidates for 10 spots on the committee. In case you’re bad at math, that means four candidates didn’t show up, but in mitigation, at least two had good excuses.
In any event, Groton is safe for another two years.
In our tiny band of sisters (plus one brother, me) we did an extracurricular caucus of presidential leanings, Hillary won, but I think it’s fair to say that the overwhelming feeling is that we’re ready to back anyone with a D after his or her name.
