Politics Here I Am, Caucus You Like A Hurricane

I have now pissed my pants, worked at, and participated in democracy at my old elementary school.
The lunchroom/gymnasium at Olympic View Elementary was stiflingly hot, smelly and packed with Prius owners.
Some chief decided it would be a great idea to put the precinct map on the opposite side of the room from the sign in tables, so people were freaking out because they didn’t know what precinct they were in and couldn’t easily find out. The PCOs seemed totally overwhelmed.
My high school history teacher was in charge of my precinct, but I ducked out when my group broke off to argue in a tiny classroom, which happened to be the same room where I learned double digit addition two decades ago.
Then I went to go eat sushi.
I’ve got no idea how my precinct broke down, but I did successfully convince a friend to drop his support for Obama. Somehow, he also ended up as an alternate delegate. Nice work, Andy.
Are you using the word ´chief´ in the sense that it is used in Zadie Smith´s ´White Teeth´? I have never read or seen or heard that anywhere else. Are you British?
Fired UP, Ready to go.
Sorry to hear you switched Andy... We gained 15 people who were undecided or Edward's supporters... it's a shame you were with jackass of the year!
Your vote could have counted!

Good work, Andy. Someone pisses their pants in front of me, and I'd tell them anything to get away, too.
chief means dickhead. E.g. Jason H is a total chief.
Excellent deployment of chief. It's very satisfying to say, and has excellent powers of connotation.
