I made the local TV NE caucus coverage

Does anyone have the Sarpy County CNN coverage from Saturday recorded? I was in the live segment inside the caucus.



I made it in this video too: http://www.kmtv.com/news/local-news/sarpy-county-has-thousands-show-for-caucus

I just got a phone call about it. I'm in my Bernie shirt with my caucus captain ID on.

Everybody that was in line at 2:10 got in. It took another 1/2 hour to get them registered. The start was delayed.

LA VISTA, Neb. (KMTV) - The Sarpy County Caucus started a 2pm Saturday, with check-in at 1pm. Doors closed at 2:10, but even with the extra 10 minutes, people were not able to get inside to caucus.

Sarpy County party officials said they would be ready for big crowds, at Bryan High School; dozens of people could not get in because they did not get checked-in in time.

"It’s my first time caucusing and I don’t get to caucus, I don’t get to exercise my right as a citizen," said Jess Martin, who was turned away.

People were upset that it did not say on the website that the doors closed at 2:10pm, but the show still had to go on for those who were inside to caucus.

1. Good for you

I have been on the local TV news several times, but only once in connection with a presidential campaign. It was at a "victory party" for Jimmy Carter in the 1980 campaign. They were recording our reactions when the east coast media called it for Reagan before our polls were closed on the west coast. Bummer and double bummer. They took shots of all our gloomy faces, and mine must have been particularly gloomy because they used it at 11:00 O'clock.
