Primary Day *updated*

<--- LOL @ NY Post!

Well it's finally going down today. The Chron has a nice photo gallery of recent local campaign activities. I checked the list of precincts and saw that I'll be voting/caucusing (the "Texas Two-Step")at the Lovett Inn, a lovely bed & breakfast.(!) I'm taking the camera and will update if I get anything decent. Yee-Haw!

*UPDATE*
The caucus went fine. From the Chron's Caucus crowds amaze election officals:

The crowd started growing well before the polls closed, and by 7:15 something resembling a mob had assembled in front of the Lovett Inn in the heart of Montrose. Patiently they waited for the chance to ... well, nobody was quite sure.

The Precinct 34 Democratic convention, informally known as the caucus, drew hundreds back to the polling place for a second chance to express their preference for Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton. Gradually the mob became a line, and it snaked down the sidewalk and around the corner into the darkness.

The hitherto obscure process, usually the province of the political hard core, was elevated to the main stage Tuesday by the tight race between Obama and Clinton and the unusual rules of the Democratic primary, which apportions delegates both by popular vote and success in the caucus straw poll.

"I've been doing this in Democratic primaries for 30 years, and I've never seen anything like it," said Annise Parker, the Houston city controller and a nearby resident. "This just shows that if you get the right scenario and the right candidates, people will come out to vote. Here you have a history-making election — either an African-American or a woman will be the Democratic candidate."

By 9:15, the caucus results were known in Precinct 34. Obama, who trailed Clinton in the day's voting there, won the local delegate count. He will send 24 delegates to the senatorial convention, Clinton 16.

I'm actually with the other precinct that met at the B&B, the one with a seemingly smaller turnout that was routed into the patio area. So far I haven't found our results (I didn't stick around to find out, but the lady in charge said we had 16 delegates to apportion). I just know you are all hanging on the edge of your seats to find out how my 'hood voted. :P

Anyway here's a couple photos of the night:
