Well Nick I am. As for the County Convention seemingly a year ago your observations were correct. Ironically I now know some 21 HPCUU'ers were there as well. You were lucky, I spent from 7 AM to 11:30 AM facilitating the registration of 1560 + delegates and alternates. The registration could have gone much smoother but the County Democratic is poor and those leading the party have little management expertise. In fact, for the local Clintonite's (supporters) and Clintonista's (burning activists) the party leadership and those who organized the caucuses and convention were mostly Clinton people. This is why you haven't been notified with your lottery based delegate selection process in that today I called and found out that it would another week for the volunteers to slog through their old fashioned efforts and determine who are delegates and alternates to the CD-5 Assembly and State Convention. One gripe is that they are adverse to receiving volunteer help or suggestions how to make the process go smoother, but that if for January's leadership period.
