The democrats are a-caucusing in Menotomy Tomorrow

a town with very high democratic turnout with strong leadership cadres on the committee level, so it's an important "get" for anyone who wants to unite the progressives behind their candidacy and sweep themselves onto the nomination & the general election.
If I had to call it beforehand I'd say it's gonna be a Gonzalez instructed delegation from Arlington, he's made two appearances before the town committee and both times he went over well. Based on what I can see, his local supporters are the only ones making noise and trying to recruit attendees...haven't much from Bob Massie's crowd and I've heard of no one actively supporting Setti Warren.
In an election year you cannot show up at a caucus unorganized and unprepared, there is no "succeeding by accident" at this time of year.  On the other hand, surprising things can and so happen, Robert Reich rose out of nowhere in 2002 and swept the caucus in a uproarious four hour long affair...so there is still room for serrendipity in this process, and thank Ghod Too.
