Dina Johnson for Obama Delegate!

I want to go the National Convention as an Obama delegate, and I understand the competition to be elected state delegate is fierce. I'm determined.

I got a helpful email from the Obama campaign suggesting we make our own campaign webpage, as any candidate would do. So I did.

Vote for Dina Johnson, Obama Delegate

Please offer feedback! And if you're at the 34th LD caucus and later the 7th CD caucus, please vote for me!

Dina Johnson for Obama Delegate! | 47 comments (47 topical)

Nice work Dina!

I'd vote for you - not in that district, and hope your determination pays off. You'd be great for the national convention.

Glad that there is advice about campaigning....

...the Democratic Party could use a hell of a lot more internal campaigning. I salute anyone who takes the time to measure their feelings about one or more issues, post something on the internet (or put it on their neighbor's doorsteps) and follow through with what they say.

At the same time the potential blowback, from too many directions, is huge.

I brace myself for the ravening dissillusioned hordes who will not show up after they don't get elected and political events don't turn their way: we'll have to book a hall three or four times our actual needed size to do respect to their discorporate and disillusioned souls. (At the same time here's hoping they do, and do, I just hope they don't think it's because it's ordained by God.)

Anyway, I know I campaigned for an LD position (issues chair) which nobody else ran for... and lost to somebody who stood up without prior declaration.

I'm smarter (and more cynical... and I was pretty cynical before) than that now.

So I'm glad that there is advice and encouragement... I'm just not sure how good that advice is... not having sucked down much of either the Obama or Clinton royal jelly.

The West Seattle Blog

has political forums, I discovered, with rather lively discussions by people who seem to be "regular folks" rather than political obsessives like Washbloggers.

I posted an announcement:

I hope it gets some traction.

Did You Did You Did You WIN?

I voted for at least 15 of my acquaintances, and two people from my precinct out of the 37 dels Obama had in the 37th (7th) Filled it out with people who had good leaflets and a few more that I knew.

They were still doing speeches when I left at 3:30, so I HOPE you had your name at the top of the list and got to speak early.

did you make it past your LD into the next

... fiasco or whatever?

by the way, IF you made it,

and I hope you did,

where and when and what is the next level?
