Updated Washington State Superdelegate Count
Submitted by grant on February 12, 2008 - 6:48am.
Sen Obama cleaned up in Washington State by a margin of greater than 2 to 1 on Saturday (The Republicans, meanwhile, well... who knows. Check out SoundPolitics if you want to get some lols at the Republicans expense).
The Seattle Times reports today that 8 of the 17 Superdelegates on the Democratic side are still undecided.
It sounds like the undecided superdelegates are unlikely to make up their minds anytime soon, and (if you're a constituent of theirs) I still think sending emails to them regarding the positive reasons you are supporting Sen Obama is an effective way to advocate for his candidacy. (Note: If you are not their direct constituent, don't bother. It's more of a nuisance and is probably a net negative).
DNC Members are fre game, though. The Seattle Times reports that DNC Members like Eileen Macoll are getting phone calls from the big wigs, including President Clinton. "I'm getting a lot of attention and I'll tell you, for a little country mouse like me, it's a big deal," Macoll said.
Well, it seems to me that the "mouses" in this state have spoken, and perhaps we need to let Ms. Macoll know directly.
Now, on to the updated Superdelegate count:
Elected Officials:
Rep. Rick Larsen (2nd District)
Rep. Jim McDermott (7th District)
Democratic National Committee Members:
Dwight Pelz - WA Democratic Party Chair
Eileen Macoll - WA Vice Chair
