"We had about 40 people show up for our caucuses in 1996 and 2000," said John McCreery, vice chairman of Democrats Abroad and a 24-year resident of Japan. "We knew there was more interest this year, so we thought we'd get 80 people."
Instead, 156 eager, percolating Democrats showed up Sunday at the meeting room of Tokyo's Foreign Correspondents Club, the great majority of them attending their first overseas caucus and many voting in their first presidential election.
Final Result from Japan - 69 for Dr. Dean, 51 for Mr. Kerry and 29 uncommitted. Each group got one delegate for Edinburgh, which will be the next round to get down to 9 overseas delegates.
Nice description of caucus process.
