7th was done and out the door by 1pm.

Tasso & Angelia Knight, Mike Berlon and Stephen & Jay did a terrific job making sure everything ran smoothly.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone for coming out today!

The 11th's started at 12:00 and the voting was completed and announced by 12:30 with very no hitches.

Big thanks to Rep. Rick Crawford, Regina Roberts (11th District Vice Chair), Mason Brumby (Polk Chair) and everybody from the Polk Democratic Party for all of their help!

Angela won to represent Hillary
Will Fowlkes won to represent Hillary
Beth Hand also won to represent HRC. I know these folks worked their butts off, and are deserving of this honor.

5th Congressional District reporting in. Obama votes being counted now. Some folks still gathered and chatting.
I expect results by 5PM or so. LOTS of people here today - no official count but I estimate 1100 or so.

Great gathering of enthusiastic Democrats!

Danita Knowles [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Wow! I have never been prouder to be a Georgia Democrat than today. Dennis Marks asked CD1 first vice chair Jaki Johnson to direct our caucuses.The Ware County Courhtouse was FULL. There literally have not been that many south Georgia Democrats come out of the swamp to elect DNC delegates since 1988.Even with unexpected numbers, Jaki and her volunteers handled everything "smooth as silk." Thanks go to her Ware County volunteers and a young man named Andy from Folkston Georgia who started attending DPG events at age 14. BTW, Sgt. Jaki did all this was being Ware county Dems chair and getting ready to launch her second campaign to attempt to oust doing nothin' Hatfield from the House.
I conducted the Hillary caucus where Beverly Leapheart won the only Hillary delegate seat from the 1st. I was able to leave Waycross by 11:30. But Jerome Tucker and Jaki were still counting Obama votes.

Thanks to everyone who helped me!! Am so excited!

Joann Locascio from the thrid cd won a delegate slot as an Obama delegate! I can't wait to tell Rubyduby!

In the 7th, I didn't hear who won the Clinton delegate slot. The room was noisy, and I couldn't tell which guy won.

Patricia Ann Smith, Steffini Bethea, and Preston Harden were selected as Obama delegates, and Megan Kline won as an alternate.

Anyone have any updates on the 2nd? Curious to see if Hooks and James won the Obama slots.

Dan [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Ken Dious and Gwen O'Looney won on the Obama side with David Jarrett as the alternate in the 10th with Chris Horan won on the Clinton female side. Franklin Delano Williams edged out Lowell Greenbaum by 2 votes for the male Clinton Delegate.

Smitty [TypeKey Profile Page]:

As a Clinton staffer, I am beyond ecstatic about our delegates going to Denver (minus 1 or 2 hiccups).

The folks that stood by us every day and night won!!

Denver ain't gonna no what happened to it when the Georgia delegation for Hillary hits town!!

sweeeeettt!!

Unwind? I can't seem to get away from politics. I've just finished recording the latest Georgia Politics Podcast (posted soon at www.gapodcastnetwork.com) and will soon be chatting with my buddies on the Kudzu Vine.

But later this week I'm going to see Bruce Springsteen!

nicolette [TypeKey Profile Page]:

i once fell asleep at a bruce sprinsteen concert. its a long story, but needless to say, a poor performance by myself.

anyway, congrats angela and will!

jac1975 [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Is there going to be a place where they announce all the winners from the district caucuses?

Jules [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Hey jac.. I wondered the same thing, but then I heard that a whole bunch of elections are being challenged so maybe not till they are certified..

I haven't heard a word about the 6th for Obama.

Jen B. [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I heard DPG is going to release the certified results sometime this week.

Rubyduby [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Hi guys. Yes, Steve Deak did lose for the 7th District male Obama delegate.

Nasty politics as usual...

innerredneckexposed [TypeKey Profile Page]:

the irony that an obama supporter lost because of nasty politics as usual.

Hope that is actually ironic and not ironic because i say it is ironic and its not actually ironic.

Jules [TypeKey Profile Page]:

6th-what I heard
Jan Hackney-Obama
Ben Myers-Obama
Issac Adams-Clinton

sndeak [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I got permission from my wife to run at the State at-large level if I want to : ) We have a conflict that day...May 24th is our 20th Anniversary party and our families are coming on from PA and OH. BUT the party isn't until 5pm!

I'm still mulling it over. The loss wouldn't have bothered me if it had been an honest, clean race.


Mouth of the South [TypeKey Profile Page]:

What happened in the 7th?

Rubyduby [TypeKey Profile Page]:

sndeak - please run. I am completely comfortable with the women representing me for Obama at the convention, but I want someone I know who has worked his butt off for Obama to represent me there!

I'm ready to work to get you there!

innerredneckexposed [TypeKey Profile Page]:

im ready to cheer you on.

Hrmm, I'm somewhat disappointed with whoever posted the list last week. I saw George Hooks' name listed as an Obama delegate and suddenly his name is gone and other names are added.

Goof or not, next time they start throwing names up on the website, everything should be correct!

Jen B. [TypeKey Profile Page]:

2nd District:
Albert O'Bryant (Obama - male)
Lynmore James (Obama - male)
Pamela Jackson (Obama - female)
Mary Helen Dykes (Obama - female)
Shannon Marietta (Clinton - female)
