We Thurston County Democrats have our shit together. I am a Demo PCO and a member of the credentials committee. I saw from the inside the planning that went into the preparation and day of execution of the biggest political party convention ever held in Thurston county. The Thurston County Democrats put on incredibly impressive display of organizational prowess. We done Good!

Over a hundred volunteers skipped the meat of the convention, the floor debates, to work the registration tables, do technical support, greet baffled delegates and count votes. Many of us began at 6:30 in the morning and worked through 3:00 in the afternoon. Props to the Progressive Peeps!

The credentials committee began our work a month before the convention meeting every week ironing out the details and straightening out a handful of problems that arose from the record pulverizing attendance at the February caucuses. The work paid off and out of 1,423 delegates and alternates just a single person was not seated.

Representatives from both the Clinton and Obama campaign watched as the Tally committee tabulated delegate preferences and then allocated the number of delegates for each to move on to the state convention. Both national organizers complimented the Thurston County Democrats for running the best organized, coherent, and transparent county convention they had been to.

It's one thing to argue over ideology and the proper function of government, but something entirely different to actually bring 1,423 people together and have a spirited and respectful dialog about politics. Talk-Action=0.

I an proud to be a part of a political party that gets things done!
