Mad How Disease

Beverly Marcus will be attending the Washington state Democratic Caucus on Feb. 7:

Marcus, 53, is happy to take part, too, but not so much for the civics lesson. It's because "the caucus is the only way I can vote for Gov. Dean," she said.

Marcus, a retired project manager from Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard who lives in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle, has supported the former Vermont governor for almost two years. She has donated money, traveled with the campaign, met Dean twice "for about 30 seconds" and adorned her lawn, garden and front porch with campaign signs.

Caucus day will be an interesting experience, she said, but "it is about winning."

Interesting experience certainly, so don't feel bad, Beverly, because winning isn't everything.
