...if you're heading to the next round of caucuses this Sunday. We can't think of any local angle on this, but it's important to share this kind of information with our readers when we find it. Because, let's face it, stuff like this can sway voters, folks. (NSFW, unless you have headphones):......

Like our esteemed editor, we also acted as a delegate at our precinct caucus yesterday, the 36th District Caucus at Ballard High School. It should be noted that we're one of those political junkies you hear so much about so, hangover not withstanding, we were looking forward to the chance to mill about with a bunch of other rabid Democrats to prepare for the unseating of the worst President ever. As an Obama delegate, we......

Yesterday morning, we got up around 6:30 a.m., and headed to Lincoln/Garfield High School in Wallingford to check people into the 43rd Legislative District Caucus for the Hillary campaign. Once everyone was checked in, we corralled into the auditorium, where we listened to a few hours of question/answer (a lot of people talking about whether or not you should switch your vote), a few speeches, some time-killing jokes (??), and the surrogates for each......

Tomorrow is the day that the delegates and alternates we elected in last month's caucuses will get together and go through the whole thing all over again. Wheeeee! You don't have to be a delegate or alternate to attend, so if you're as transfixed with the process as we are, feel free to show up. If you don't know where to go, you can find your legislative district caucusing location here. It starts at......

We respectfully disagree with our colleagues. Having gone into our second caucus as undecideds, we emerged firmly decided: the caucus stinks. And we weren't even invested in any candidate this time around. The Slog's Erica Barnett makes a good case against it. We'll concede that it was nice to see some neighbors; however, we don't really care to meet our neighbors in this particular context. Block parties, barbeques, chats across the fence, and pleasantries......

Some much-needed clarification on the primary/caucus fiasco: Washington holds both caucuses and a primary in order to decide how to allocate its delegates for the presidential candidates. We hope you were able to make it to your caucus on Saturday to cast your vote for the Democratic/Republican presidential candidate of your choice. You should have picked a party, gone to the designated caucus location for your precinct, and written in your choice next to......

Now that all votes are in, all caucuses adjourned, CNN declaring it all for Obama, here's how the day fared for our Seattlest contributors: Charles: "In my precinct we gave four delegates to Obama and two to Hillary -- and yours truly is a delegate for his district and county caucuses! I heard that a few other precincts at my site went 4-1 Obama. In Shoreline a friend said it was roughly 70-30 and......

(Full disclosure: we're a long-time Hillary supporter, as you probably know by now.) It may have been held way out in the middle of NOWHERE, and we may have had to risk life and limb, climbing over trains and running across highways to get there, but it was damn well worth it. Some reports are saying there were 5,000 people there, others are saying more. It was definitely packed. We were definitely sweating our......

As our friend who sent us the info announced this news, so shall we: "GAY GASP! Hillary's coming to town tonight!" Okay, so we were at an event on Saturday, when Maria Cantwell joined longtime local Hillstumpers Jay Inslee and Ron Sims for a chat about Mrs. Clinton's Clean Energy Plan. A young woman who claimed to be a UW student stood up and asked the three if they could do something to get......

Some things to consider as we careen toward Saturday's caucuses: First, Obama does extremely well with younger people, while Hillary does well with those over 65. Out of about 6.3 million people in Washington, 736,000 of them are over 65, while more than 2.2 million are between the ages of 20 and 44. 5.1 million are "White" and 217,000 are "Black or African American." Second, about 562,000 people live in Seattle proper. 242,345 are aged......
