Every County But One! - Letter to Washington State Super-Dels

[CalebHayes]

On Feb 9th Washington voters spoke out at the largest Democratic caucus this state has ever seen. From Spokane and the Palouse on the eastern side of the state, to the Puget Sound and I-5 on the western side of the state, Democrats in Washington said they wanted a change in the other Washington, and the candidate they believe can bring that change is Barack Obama. In 39 counties in Washington State 38 of them supported Senator Obama. As a Super-Delegate to the National Convention in Denver it is your job to represent the views of the Democrats in Washington State. You are by definition, just that, a representative. If you are going to do your job, as a Delegate, you must support Senator Obama. If there ever was a mandate 38 of 39 is it.

2. Happy to be rec #5 !

[TexasObserver]

3. Let the US Senators who endorsed Clinton know they need to think about their choices.

They are YOUR senators, not Hillary's senators.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Cool

then does Clinton get all the superdelegates from California, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, etc.?

[Lucinda]

15. :)

[CalebHayes]

16. If you want to play that game...

Obama camp would gladly accept.

[MonkeyFunk]

17. OK

as it stands right now, Clinton would be ahead by 25 superdelegates.

[CalebHayes]

19. That is less than her lead now. And it would change Tuesday.

[MonkeyFunk]

20. And it will change with each primary

but Clinton's winning almost all the big states.

[CalebHayes]

25. With luck she might win 4 more states

[skooooo]

4. KR

8. What's up with Douglas county anyway??

Did Hillary promise to sell apples to India or something? :shrug:

[IsItJustMe]

9. I like your research and your activism. Had to kick it.

[Satyagrahi]

10. Did Obama take all Washington counties?

Look:

Sweeping up - Obama takes all Washington counties

Turns out the state Democratic party got it wrong over the weekend. Hillary Clinton did not win Douglas County despite the state party's continuing claim to the contrary.

In fact, Obama swept the table.

According to Douglas County party chairman Dave Clark, the vote in Douglas County was 65 Obama delegates to 37 Clinton delegates. This matches neither the numbers nor the total number of delegates listed by state party officials.

We have noted this in today's story evaluating the outcome, and coverage of Douglasgate will continue as warranted.

UPDATE: A call to Democrat HQ this morning has been answered but not yet been returned.

18. Yes, he won all counties (including Douglas County)!!!

Barack Obama swept every Washington county
By Bob Young
Seattle Times staff reporter
It turns out Barack Obama did win every county in Washington state's Democratic caucuses on Saturday.

The state Democratic Party had initially reported that Hillary Rodham Clinton won just a single county, Douglas County, in Eastern Washington by a 53-32 count of delegates.

But now party leaders say someone misreported the results. The correct tally in Douglas County, according to state party Executive Director Jaxon Ravens, is 65 delegates for Obama and 37 for Clinton, completing the Obama's sweep of all 39 Washington counties.

"We had a lot of results coming in Saturday night and the person who took down the (Douglas County) results just transposed the numbers. We apologize that the information was misreported on the night of the caucus but we've corrected the error and it's not going to affect the allocation of delegates," Ravens said.

Democrats selected 33,904 delegates statewide through the caucus, Ravens said, and the Douglas County gaffe involved about one-third of one percent of all Washington state delegates to the legislative caucuses and county conventions.

11. I just got off the phone ...

... with my two Senator's offices ... Cantwell and Murray, who've endorsed Clinton before the overwhelming Obama win this weekend. Both their staffs were surprisingly friendly. Cantwell's said that they were getting an overwhelming number of calls like mine, and would pass on the message. I pointed out how disheartening it would be to our base should the Super Delegates give the nomination to Clinton in light of an Obama rank-and-file majority. I may not have helped the cause, but I at least have the illusion that I did my small part ? I don't see how in good conscience they could stick to their endorsement after the 68% - 31% blowout. That's NOT democracy.

14. Good work! Thanks man.

21. Are we on the same page or what...
