I will caucus in the basement of a retirement home that used to be a hospital. (I was born there and used to work there in high school.) It's a very small place. I remember going there by mistake last time and the place was packed.
Last time my caucus site was an elementary school. I started out in a small room, but eventually we took over the gym.

LOTS of phone calls. The phone rings incessantly. It's either pollsters or recorded messages from candidates or local organizers announcing visits by candidates. Thank god for caller ID! Joe Biden's going to be in town tonight. I know he doesn't stand a chance, but I would like to meet him. I think he's a good guy.
