Washington Primary

Okay, as a Democrat, you get two chances to vote, but one of them doesn't count.
So if you don't caucus on Saturday, what you choose on your ballot won't matter anyway.
And if you don't choose a party in the box above your signature on your mail-in ballot, your vote won't even be counted.
This is all because the parties make the rules for choosing nominees. Dems went all-caucus. R's decided to count half of each primary vote toward a nominee, which is why we're spending millions of dollars on a primary that is meaningless for Democrats. But still fun, I guess, if you don't care that a lot of people are either missing or boycotting the party choice on the ballot.

Don't know where to caucus? (They start at 1 p.m. Saturday.) Go here:

COMMENT OF THE DAY: from an Open Left debate over the significance of governor and mayor endorsements: " You can discount
the value of the Greg Nickels endorsement. There is no political machine in Seattle to back him up. We prefer to govern by clusterfuck."
