Slog - Comments on Hillary Clinton Coming to Seattle Oct. 22 http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/hillary_clinton_coming_to_seattle_on_oct Unlike John Edwards and Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton hasn't been to Washington State once since she declared her candidacy. Sounds like that's changing. A source who's on a Washington State Democratic Party email list just forwarded me this: From: On Behalf Of Dwight Pelz Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 3:19 PM To: XXXXX@XXXXXXX Subject: Hillary Clinton to Keynote the Maggie's!

Hillary being there is actually a pretty impressive, I remember Cantwell speaking there last year.

Unless she doesn't want to have a chance at being the VP.

Speaking at the State Dems "Maggie Awards" is a big deal.

Magnuson - the most powerful man in the US Senate for decades.

Elected many terms, beloved in Washington State. Chaired Senate apropreations committee - note: chaired.

Maggie married very late in life, loved to drink, famous story teller, very much an FDR Democrat, at one timed suggested nationalizing oil companies, and was an avowed internationalist.

Mount St Helens erupted - in three days had billions of federal money pouring into Washington - with no place to spend it. MAGGIE SAID WE NEED A LOT OF MONEY, CONGRESS SAID OH SURE, HERE'S SOME BILLIONS. The state was not able to spend all the money allocated.

At the same time Scoop Jackson chaired the Senate Interior Committee - Washington was rolling in congressional power.
