Sanders only draws 15,000 in Seattle. Seattle media playing
Posted: Mar 26, 2016
...it's really a surprisingly small crowd considering that Seattle is one of our flagship communist cities, two clicks worse than San Francisco, even, with a dozen colleges and universities of well over 100,000 combined student bodies. 15,000 is meh!
We Seattle locals affectionately call it "Moscow On the Sound". For fun, on Saturdays we Moscovites line up at vacant grocery stores (of which we have been "liberally" supplied - pun intended) and practice waiting for hours for food that never comes. Not only do you get to see a panoply of strange and wondrous creatures in their natural habitat - not a few in various stages of shedding their winter coats - but it also strengthens the legs. You won't catch us fainting when the you-know hits the fan!
In the evening we go home, shut off all the utilities and practice the bongo drums or recite poetry in the nude. Those who really want to fit in will call their employer on Monday, denounce him (or her, whichever it is that day) as a bohemian capitalist, and ride their bicycle (no emissions!) to the unemployment office, where the practice of standing in food lines will also come in handy.

Huge victory for Sanders in Alaska and Washington - Not even close
[ In Reply To ..]The % rates are 77+ to 22+. Wow! Talk about a whopping.
Sad how low the voter turnout was. - Perspective
[ In Reply To ..]There are almost 4 million total voters registered in Washington. I do not know the percentage that is Democrat. Given it is a blue state, I would logically state at least a little more than half. That makes 2 million registered Democrat voters. With 80% of the vote in, about 23,500 people had voted for Bernie. Hillary, obviously lower. But, at least 1.5+ million voters did not caucus at all!
Alaska numbers are even more dismal. At least 135,000 people are registered Democrats as of 2012. 540 people showed up to vote for Bernie, less for Hillary. 1000 voters out of 135,000?
Why? Are there not too many Democrats fired up for the election? Any thoughts why the turnout was so low?
Source for Alaska: US voter registration by state and party (The Guardian.)
Google: How many registered voters are there in Washington State. Answer is almost 4 million, but not broken down by party.
We normally vote by mail here in WA~ sm - Anoni~
[ In Reply To ..]Got nothing for this. The voting sites were not listed. Poor job of advertising. LOL Anyhow, I can't stand in line.
In any case, I will vote for whomever gets the Dem nod, no way I'd vote for either of those two overgrown 12 year old slime balls running on the other ticket.
Happy for Bernie. :)
Thanks for your response. - nm

Washington Caucus - WA resident
[ In Reply To ..]In Washington, to vote in the Democratic caucus, a person has to declare party preference and become a registered Democrat and my guess is that a lot of Washingtonians are not willing to do that. Also, many of us receive mail in ballots for the primaries and general elections but the caucus was held at local polling places, I had to go on line to find my polling place. I was not able to vote because I'm postop knee surgery and couldn't get out. The caucus was held on the Saturday before Easter, a lot of people travel over the holiday and hence probably didn't get the opportunity to vote. My guess is that we are probably about 60% Republican/independent in this state; Seattle and surrounding communities are densely populated and heavily Democratic historically and that tends to skew the numbers, the east side of the state is more conservative and tends to vote Republican. The last reason is that people tend not to get involved, if at all, until after the convention, or they don't like the candidates, there are numerous reasons for low turnout in the party caucus. The bottom line is that a lot of people don't care.
That was hilarious! - Thank you.
[ In Reply To ..]I can picture my niece practicing her bongo drums in the nude while getting stoned. She just relocated from San Franciso. ha!

Seattle Children's Hospital - See MsgNov 05, 2013
Seattle Children’s Hospital ranks No. 11 on the U.S. News & World Report best pediatric hospital list. When Obamacare rolled out, the hospital found itself with just two out of seven insurance companies on Washington’s exchange. Seattle Children’s is the only pediatric hospital in King County, and offers keys services, such as cancer care, which are not available anywhere else in the region. So if you sign up for Obamacare, good luck surviving. Fortunately, that represents ...

Liberals really should listen to conservatives, who have a much better handle on economic matters. 1. Hardly anyone has gone off the public assistance rolls. 2.

People asking for LESS hours so they don't lose their welffare (!). ...

Bernie Sanders Draws Largest Crowds--didn'tAug 17, 2015
Over the weekend, when both men stumped across Iowa, rampant controversy raged across websites about their respective audiences. Trump insisted his crowds at the State Fair were the largest for any candidate. Sanders' supporters upheld their claim to the same distinction. More objective observers tended to side with Sanders, while also noting that Trump's throngs were at least partially drawn to his helicopter, in which he gave rides to children, among others. http://www.npr.org/s ...

Grandchildren Playing Outside.Feb 02, 2015
My grandchildren are 8 and 4. They live in the city, without much of a yard. They do not go outside unsupervised when they are at home with their parents. When they do go outside, it is usually to a nearby playground, park, etc. We live in the country and have a 1-1/2 acre yard, with a swing set for them. There are windows across the back of the house, and I can see them in the back yard. I find that they mostly want to stay indoors and watch TV, or play vide ...
Trump Playing Us For Suckers?Apr 26, 2011

That's why I like Donald Trump so much. When it comes to pretending to run marathons, he never quits. For more than 20 years he' ...
