Washington State, You Matter... You Matter A Lot
With Obama spanking Billary and the politics of racial division in concert with the endorsement of Sen. Kennedy and a stirring endorsement and essay in the New York Times by Caroline Kennedy making headlines today, it looks as if Obama has some wind against his back pushing him towards February 5th and Super Tuesday.
But the establishment is just as likely to push back and the formerly decisive wave of delegates awarded on Super Tuesday, according to the AP amongst others, is now (gaffs and major news-cycle changes aside) unlikely to provide a knock-out punch to either campaign.
That means Washington State's February 9th Caucus will likely turn out to be crucial to either campaign. (If you haven't registered to vote, or if your registration needs updating, you can do it in person until February 4th. Click here, select your county, and you can see where to register!)
You can find your caucus site using the Washington State Democrats Caucus Finder, which is someone useful, but not entirely correct. I'll keep looking for a better site.
Get out there and make your voice heard. It's generational change we're talking about and, for once, Washington State can have a serious impact on the primary race.
Although everyone reading this likely knows already, the Democratic Party will not be using the results of the election which will take place to award any delgates, so don't think that by voting you're making a difference. You are making your voice heard for the future of Superdelegates (more about that in a bit) but you really need to Caucus to make your voice heard in any meaningful fashion!)
