2008 Re: That Washington Office for Obama

Postman clarifies what I heard yesterday about that new Obama office in Seattle. According to an email to Obama supporters that Postman’s seen, it will be a “local grassroots Obama office” with no official connection to the national campaign.
I’m waiting for confirmation of this, but assuming it’s true—and there’s no reason to believe it’s not—you can discard that little bit of speculation I was doing yesterday when I thought the office was, in fact, connected to the national campaign.
UPDATE: Jen Psaki, spokesperson for the Obama campaign, just emailed me to say:
The grassroots office is open and we should have a campaign office in early January.
Dang, I was hoping it was more.
Oh, well ... maybe this will force Kucinich and Clinton to open their offices early.
Eli, could you possibly clarify what a 'grassroots' office does, and how this is different from the role of a 'campaign' office? I'm excited (even if a little perplexed in terms of tactics) that there is actually some semblance of fighting for Washington's caucuses.
The Clinton campaign announced a campaign committee and volunteer campaign coordinators in all 49 legislative districts. Caucus trainings are being planned. Check the website: www.hillaryclinton.org - lots going on.
