Today is the day: Obama Caucuses in CT

OK, there are five caucuses happening tonight, one in each of CT's Congressional Districts, to elect Obama delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August in Denver. Apparently, these caucuses are for district level delegates and alternates -- additional "At Large" delegates will be determined on March 26th. But here's the rundown on what is happening tonight:

I'll be attending the 3rd Congressional District's caucus in New Haven, with my nifty iPhone. As long as I have some sort of wireless connection while I'm there (Do they ban cell phones in New Haven school buildings? How would they do that anyway -- a big lead shield over the roof???), I will attempt to live blog the event. Wouldn't that be neat!

Stay tuned here to see if I can pull it off... Remember to refresh the page (to see newer blog entries) you have to click the banner (where it says "Woodbridge Dems" in big letters at the top of the page)...
