Live from Yakima: The Candidates Are Here!
All three Democratic congressional challengers have arrived at the 2006 Democratic Convention: Darcy Burner, running in the 8th, Richard Wright, running in the 4th, and Peter Goldmark, running in the 5th.
I spoke to each candidate briefly in the lobby of the Yakima Convention Center. All the candidates are clearly upbeat and energized. The atmosphere here is electric...there's so much happening, and so many people here!
David Postman of the Seattle Times has just arrived, and staffers for Maria Cantwell's campaign are showing up practically every other minute, it seems. Delegates appear to be in a jovial mood. The gala banquet is just forty five minutes away - when the state's congressional delegation and Governor Christine Gregoire will unite behind Senator Maria Cantwell's reelection campaign - in grand style.
You can expect another update fairly soon.
