1. Same way as everyone else
House and senate members and the governor are included, and other party leaders. Like any of the other delegates, they can pledge for someone and change their minds.

2. I was afraid of that. What can we do to dump this undemocratic practice? nm

3. Put more progressive people in the candidate pipeline--
--and into the state party leadership pipeline.

4. I totally agree. I only recently got active and still have more to do. What organization would you
recommend to work thru in this endeavor? Progressive Democrats of America, Progressive Majority or Moveon.org? I am working with the Democratic Party organizations but find them somewhat stagnant.

5. Some of the more staid Dem organiztions could use newbie energy
PDA is good (they are organizing by CD in WA), also the state Dems have a progressive caucus. http://waprogressives.org/

That's a start. Also pick one issue group and become the local opinion-former that your friends always want to consult on that issue. Clean elections, Health Care for All WA, election integrity, education, transportation infrastructure, environment, whatever. Nobody can do everyhing, but if you pick an issue or two, you can then bring them to your local Dem organizations and try to get them moving on them.

7. Do you happen to know how many super delegates Wash state has vs grassroots delegates?
How about Nationally? Thanks in advance for all the help.
