Why Washington's other 67 Democratic Delegates Haven't Been Allocated Yet.

Posted at DAILYKOS a few hours ago.

Why Washington's other 67 Democratic Delegates Haven't Been Allocated Yet, and What It Means.

The other 67, yet to be announced, are “congressional district delegates”. According to Washington State Democrats, these are to be pledged proportionally “based on the will of the caucus participants in each of the State's 10 congressional districts”. But those other 67 will not be certified until the state Democratic convention on June 19th; it depends in part on all of the caucus delegates showing up. source: www.wa-democrats.org/...

** If this is how it actually plays out, Bernie will have 49 more Washington delegates than the 25 that national tallies currently show and Hillary will have 18 more than the 9 that national tallies currently show, for a net gain of 30 for Bernie relative to those current national tallies. So one could say that Bernie is “now” only 238 behind Hillary, rather than 268 (that is, 1005 to 1261, rather than 975 to 1238). Still, that’s a lot of catching up to do.

"Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual," said Hillary, March 2008

Here is what Bill and Hillary had to say about the Primary Season when it suited them.


Hillary Clinton, March 6, 2008: I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn’t wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June, also in California. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.

Bill Clinton, March 28, 2008: I didn’t get enough votes to be nominated until June the 2nd, 1992.


Very disappointed is Kos for perpetuating the meme that come March 15 it is over and on to the General Election. Guess Marcos is one of those people who "have short memories."

Google "Hillary 2008 Primary Quotes." Plenty there.

NOTE to Hillary supporters. Quoting Hillary is not Hillary bashing, sorry.

How many posts do I have to make before I can email threads to family, friends and co-workers?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Does this mean that 84% of Hillary supporters don't care about honesty?

This is in no way meant to be argumentative. But, if only 6% think honesty is important, and Hillary got 38% of the vote, does that mean that 84% of Hillary supporters don't care about honesty and trustworthiness? What else could it mean?
