Seattle and Tacoma haven't come in yet....

[skooooo]

..Will they be as lop-sided for Obama, or more so???

1. Given the reports earlier from precincts all over the Puget Sound area

I don't see Hillary's numbers rising much.

[MadBadger]

2. It may get closer, but all reports Ive heard show Obama destroying her in Seattle.

[Renew Deal]

3. You're right.

Seattle is in King County. It should be strong for Obama.

4. I was reading reports from The Stranger - caucus goers reporting in on their

precincts (in Seattle) and there was a definite Obama lead. I'm not sure if the percentage is as great, but definitely favoring O.

5. I can only speak for the six precincts where we caucused

Obama did EXTREMELY well (like 85-90%). I was surprised. I expected it to be much closer, to be honest.

8. My pals feel like they got it done

The Downtown Seattle group is really good at turnout. They truly kick ass.

So is the Federal Way/Tacoma group I communicate with.

Nice job, everyone.

from one..

At Seattle Caucus, Strong Obama Support

By Juliet Eilperin
SEATTLE -- Sometimes, the cliché "latte liberal" really does apply.

Early this afternoon Madhavi Vuthoori, latte in hand, started making her way over to the Center School to caucus with other Democrats here. Vuthoori, a Teaneck, N.J.-native who works for "a tea start-up" -- that's cold, bottled chai, in case you were wondering -- was looking forward to participating in her first caucus even though she was torn on who to support.

"I'm undecided," she explained. "But I'm going to make a decision."

<snip>

..And while she wasn't about to declare, Vuthoori was leaning toward Obama from the outset. The two candidates held roughly the same positions, Vuthoori noted, and while she admired Clinton's experience, Obama had opposed the war from the outset.

<snip>
..I don't want the corporate-sponsored candidate," he lamented.

Goros switched to Obama, as did Vuthoori.

Then, Kirk announced the final tally: 78 for Obama, 27 for Clinton, and 2 Undecided. Out of the 11 total delegates headed to the King County convention in April, Obama won eight compared to Clinton's three.

Vuthoori left feeling comfortable with her vote. "He's less divisive in the country, and he's more humanistic," she said of Obama. "Clinton's great, but she seems more capitalistic, more corporate. Ultimately it was more of a gut decision than an intellectual one."
