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.

1. Good job, good letter. The people spoke, will the supers listen?

Not holding my breath on Cantwell, but please let us know if you hear back from any of them.

2. Turns out that it's every county after all

The Douglas County report was an error.

3. I disagree. The super delegates are supposed to be independent

as another checks and balance of the system. People are fooled by the rock-star image and the distortions and lies the media provides. The super delegates are to be immured from those influences.

Leave the system alone. Just because you fear your candidate would not benefit.

[Upton]

5. Super delegates are not independent

They are subject to strongarm tactics and back room deals, favors being called in. Do you really want the party's nominee to be decided that way?

[Buzz cook]

4. Why shouldn't they vote their conscience?

I get that option as a delegate to the county convention. If I'm allowed that liberty, why shouldn't the super delegates have the same?

6. 39 of 39 counties
