    haha....as of this morning it was only going to be Bill heading for Seattle, now it looks like when Hilary found out that Obama is heading here (as was announced last night) she figured that she might have to actually show up and speak herself....who wants to bet that if not more than a few dozen people show up tomorrow she sheds tears? oh hell, she'll probably just cry anyway

    Just to show she's "human". Newbie to the whole caucus thing too. After hearing all the commercials saying the caucus counts and the ballot doesn't really matter I figured I better show up. So what's the point of having a ballot? I don't understand.

    but that's the whole point...she's NOT human :p



    the reason for primary ballot is because the republicans get half of their delegates from the caucuses and half from the primary. but yeah since the democrats get their delegates from just the caucuses, my guess is that the reason behind the primary is because the democratic party in WA just likes spending $10 million for conducting a meaningless popularity contest?

    Godspeed my northwestern brothers and sisters. I promise that if this shit actually goes on until May (fat chance, I think this will be over after Texas and Ohio) that we'll do our part down here.

    Wow! I was all worried about caucusing and it was no big deal! I will tell you that in my precinct, Obama won by double Hilary. I hope thats some indication of what the state will do. :)

    Mine was split right down the middle. 8 delegates 4 to each. It was cool because I felt my vote really counted. If me my wife and neighbor didn't show up Hillary would have taken the majority.

    Great job friends! We'll see how much he kicks her ass, I'm afraid she may do well in the spokane area. Hopefully he gets a big margin of delegates. See you fuckers in May!

    She's getting her ass kicked... He's got Nebraska and Washington, Louisiana should be his too but they haven't started reporting yet. Seems turn out in that state was low too. I don't blame them.
