Alright, you can chalk this one up to ignorance, but I just found out that the ballot I mailed in for the Washington State presidential primary was not only a complete waste of time but the stamp I borrowed from my coworker as well

We're called a showdown state on CNN but I'm still having a hard time figuring out why! It's not like our votes even counted this time around.

I wish!

Too much money being made for there to ever be election reform...

Can't we just settle this thing by applause-o-meter?

best. idea. ever.

yeah that whole caucus thing was voted on a while back, and we kinda got screwed. from teh wiki-p entry for caucus:
In Washington State, the caucus has come under some controversy. According to the Web site for Washington Democrats, even though the Washington State Legislature decided the state would hold a primary, the Washington State Democratic Party ignored that request, and decided to choose their delegates through the Caucuses. As a result, votes for a Democratic candidate in the State Primary do not count toward delegate selection, despite the fact that the state will still spend $9 to $10 million on it.

the republicans split it up -- they get about half from their caucus and about half from the primary.
