Do you realize that only 250,000 people turned out for the caucus? Out of 2.8 million voters in the state? Some people are trying to claim Obama won super-majority of Washington's voters. In truth, Obama won roughly 5% of Washington's voters, to Clinton's 3%. Its not appropriate to draw a general conclusion about the will of the voters in the entire state based on caucus turnout. I also can't support any efforts to change the rules of the game after the caucus has been held. I know resolutions are being circulated demanding that superdelegates support Obama, or at least apportion themselves according to the caucus results. The superdelegates were created 30 years ago to be a voice of the party, not a voice of the people. They were given independence and freedom to choose. And now when it suits the interests of one campaign, there is a effort to change the rules of the game in the middle of the campaign. How can the grassroots not see that as a foul? We cannot allow each special-interest group to change the rules whenever they become inconvenient.
