Bernie Sanders Is Holding Three Rallies in Washington: The Democratic caucuses in this state are one week from tomorrow, on March 26. Sanders will hold rallies in Vancouver, Spokane, and Seattle on Sunday. Doors open at 2 p.m. at KeyArena, KING 5 reports.
Sanders Is "Likely" to Win Washington Along with Four Other States: In a memo last week, Hillary Clinton strategist Robby Mook conceded that Sanders is "poised to have a stretch of favorable states to vote, including five caucuses... which he is likely to win. Idaho, Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii hold caucuses next week as well. But Mook argues these victories won't have much impact on the delegate count.
Sixty Percent of Preregistered Caucus Voters... are between 18 and 34 years old, KING 5 reports. And they say we don't vote.

(9,497 posts)at my caucus. I am going in prepared.
Actually, I went to a dinner celebration with my roommate. It was Iranian New Year's and I had met this woman on Christmas. Well there were 7 of us stuffed into a small apartment, eating delectable dish after dish, drinking cucumber mint beverages and receiving 2 dollar bills to ensure prosperity. Today Bernie is at Key Arena and my roommate was talking about going. Well, almost every other person was also a Bernie supporter. Except for the 60ish woman lawyer. She's for Hilary.
Oh my god. At one point I said that Bill needs to stop going to polling stations and she said " I love him going. " I have yet to find out her DU handle...lol
She was pretty sad that we weren't buying the It's Time we had a woman president line.
In the end, we talked about an imaginary Trump win and how he would choose a cabinet...That was pretty eye opening. It would have been funny, if we weren't talking about our country.

Sanders sox
Sanders talks to crowd left outside for 10 minutes
You can't take umbrellas into Key Arena, so they were collected in cans outside
There were a couple of thousand or so still outside, but the sound on the big screen was pretty good.
