The fight for the Dem state chair position begins, in Shelton I think. This is the first notice I've seen of a forum for the Dem state chair. Despite his efforts during the recounts, it looks like Paul Berendt in is some trouble this year.

His biggest mistake in my view is going out to get Dave Ross for the 8th district seat. A smart ass radio talk show host was the perfect person to run against the popular sitting King County Sheriff, if you felt like not winning.
