One interesting statistic coming out of the February 2nd precinct caucuses is that Republican caucus attendees outnumbered Democrat caucus attendees in East Central Minnesota Counties. This is according to numbers reporeted on the Minnesota Secretary of State's website. This may be a good indicator of how enthusiastic each party's base of support is going into the 2010 election season.

Here is the breakdown on attendance by county:

County             GOP             DFL

Carlton              109             131

Chisago             373             166

Isanti                241             100

Kanabec            182              60

Mille Lacs             75              81

Pine                  203             93
