A little ticked at the idea that the great states of Iowa and New Hampshire have decided that the former Democratic front-runner is now a has-been — and the former has-been is now the inevitable winner?
Then mark your calendar for this Saturday’s Democratic caucuses, which will begin at 10 a.m. in a firehouse, school or living room near you.
Lasting only an hour or two, self-identified Democrats will show their presidential preferences, begin the process of electing national convention delegates — and discuss potential platform issues.
Since the state Legislature canceled this year’s presidential primary to save $6 million, precinct caucuses have returned to the forefront in the state’s presidential sweepstakes.
And, contend the prognosticators, Washington could be a make-or-break state for former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
Dean and Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts are expected to campaign in Washington this week.
Dean has dedicated young followers and the endorsements of state party chairman Paul Berendt and former Gov. Booth Gardner.
Kerry has — for now, at least — momentum and the mantle of electability.
