Eek. First sentence should read "On Saturday, February 9, my wife and I participated in the caucus in my home state of Washington."

Could it be just a carpet-bombing email they send to all the caucus attendees on their lists regardless of who they voted for? Because maybe they think, the wider the net, the larger the catch.

And I bet if you parsed her email even more you could claim she is playing the race card!!!

I find your headline for this post offensive and totally uniformed. Get a grip.

It looks like they just got a list of participants, which is why they included that part about "If you were not selected as a delegate or alternate..."

Mail and call lists are tricky things. My wife and I are obviously on all of the Dem lists because we got a lot of calls from both candidates prior to our primary and we also get regular fundraising letters from Dems all over the country.

While, a couple of months ago, I kept getting calls and messages from someone (a real person) representing the Rep. Tom Cole and the National Republican Congressional Committee asking me to buy my way onto some kind of "steering committee" for business leaders. The best I can figure, they had just bought a list of registered defense contractors and since me and my company was on there, they assumed that I was a Republican without cross-referencing against any other list.

Eh... Obviously Hillary's people got ahold of a participant list. Your name was on there and personally, I'm glad that they're trying to maintain the Party's excitement and get out the vote.

Yes, I saw some Youtube video of a Clinton Supporter being called by an Obama campaign person in Texas . Same story. They were all outraged. It was just as pathetic as this complaint.

Sorry. Hillary's campaign has a a list of Dems. So does Obama's. No doubt some Hillary supporter is doing their best to feign outrage as well.

It's not productive for either campaign.

Really, can we stop the Middle School theatrics? It's getting ridiculous.

Strike that. It IS ridiculous. It;'s "getting" assinine.

Hi, Allsburg.

Be careful about jumping to conclusions on this. There was a lot of this very same thing happening in Texas--Obama supporters being contacted by the Clinton campaign; Clinton supporters being contacted by the Obama campaign--by phone, email, and snail mail.

I kind of suspect there's a benign reason for this that just isn't readily obvious. Perhaps the state Democratic parties sent both campaigns databases of caucus information that don't include candidate preference info. Or maybe these "oops" contacts are due to database entry errors.

At any rate, I got the feeling that a lot of the suspicion that flared up in Texas (among supporters of both candidates) seemed to be unwarranted since it was happening with both campaigns. I certainly hope there was no mischief involved, because if there was, both campaigns would have been guilty in Texas.

I hope you guys have a great time at your district caucus. Ours was long (and tedious at times) but we met some great people and had a good time overall.

Cheers!

more breathless discussion of not so much of anything new.

am i to believe the obama campaign with all that money they have, well they are contacting, they are probably donating money to their favorite charities...

come on, they are conducting a political campaign, not tea and scones and some pleasant banter of a high school forensic contents...get over it you were for obama before, you are today and will be on the morrow

because, you are the change you have been looking for...egad...does anyone else gag at even seeing that kind of prattle in print?

This happened in Iowa, too, before the county conventions. My delegate husband got two robo-calls and one mailer that week. Also Hillary's delegates at the convention were bitter, negative and suspicious. Consequently, Hillary ended up further behind in delegates.

My brother in Texas had a similar experience at his convention there last week.

I may be naive here - but could you not merely hit the DELETE key, vote for Obama, and get on with your life?

I'll second that emotion. And I have to wonder also, when November rolls around, will Obama be asking Clinton supporters to betray their candidate?

I really enjoyed this post. Very catchy title, and you had to read the whole thing to discover that there was really nothing to it.

This is going to be difficult for you to fathom, but in all likelihood, Hillary doesn't know you from Adam. True, you participated in a caucus which makes you an important individual, but somehow I don't think Hillary personally sat down at her laptop and wrote you that message. And the person who sent out that message... they probably didn't bother to check your name against a list of the many, many thousands of starry-eyed caucus participants who make this country the great nation that it is.

I wouldn't count on Obama knowing who you are either.

It's kind of like those signatures that appear on the bottom of letters you sometimes get from politicians.... they're usually just copies of their signature. The politician didn't actually sign the letter. Probably didn't write it either. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the world of politics is a brutal, BRUTAL world as you will learn with bitter experiences like the one you just endured and felt compelled to share with us. But I do hope this doesn't put you off politics. The Party needs more people like you.
