WA State Dems trying to assess support for Sanders [View all]
They waited until the last day before the event to send the following--
Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is making a stop in Seattle tomorrow for an afternoon Social Security event and an evening campaign rally at the Alaska Airlines Arena!
Bernie Sanders is a progressive champion, fighting for nearly three decades in Congress on behalf of Democratic values like equal pay, economic justice and environmental protection. Were excited to welcome him to Seattle tomorrow will you join us?

Why this is important--superdelegates. The WA State Dems lined up behind Clinton in 2007 at this point in the cycle, even sponsoring a speech in October. They are doing the same this year, but no speech so far. Superdelegates uniformly supported Clinton then, but slowly moved to support Obama as he pulled ahead. If the party finds out that a similar move toward Sanders is occurring, they will follow along.
So, if you live in WA State, please spread the word on this.
