Got back from my caucus in Beacon Hill not long ago. Our precinct (1621) went 3-1 in favor of Obama with Sen. Clinton barely meeting the 15% threshold. I heard similar numbers from others in the 11th district.

She must have won some precincts, because no one I know told me she got more than 25% of their precinct caucus vote.

The state dem party web site http://www.wa-democrats.org/caucusfinder today got swamped (and they had a lousy method to find your caucus location) so they redirected people to the Obama web site!!!

Granted his team allowed you to find your location in one step (the dems have always forced you to do two steps, find your precinct then go to their site t find your caucus location) and their wasn't any state office or effort by Hillary but it still didn't seem fair.

Could someone please reconcile the following discrepancy.
The Seattle Times reports that the total Democratic turnout in today’s caucuses may reach 175,000.
But if you project out the “vote” total shown (on various websites) then 100% will total 34,000.
How do you explain that?
Are these 34,000 precinct delegates?

in response to abt's earlier question, yes, the 34,000 number represents the total number of precinct delegates. So for example, my precinct had 80 some people vote, represented by 7 delegates total...

Americans are full of hatred against one another. What about if Obama becomes the president? Will Obama solves heart problem? Definitely NO.
My family is as diverse as you can get - Whites, Blacks, Spanish and my children and interracial. I think Americans need to love one another. There is nothing wrong in liking a candidate but don't hate others. Most of these comments seem like hatred to Clinton. For some of you that are Christians, the Bible equate hatred with murder. It is not fair. We all have families and we wouldn't like to pass the same comments on our family.
The problem America has is not about LEFT or RIGHT but about the vacuum and emptiness in our hearts which can ONLY be filled by God.
God loves Obama, God loves Clinton and May God bless America and I pray that American turns back to God. That is all we need.
