Washington has sent 110 delegates and alternates to Denver for the Democratic national convention.
Washington has sent 110 delegates and alternates to Denver for the Democratic national convention.
State Party Chairman Dwight Pelz says Democrats are excited about the selection of Joe Biden for vice president. But former state Party Chairman Paul Berendt is a Clinton delegate who says some people are disappointed she wasn't chosen for the VP spot.
One of the delegates for Obama is James Yee of Olympia, the Muslim former Army chaplain who was wrongly accused of spying at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. Yee says Muslims must be engaged in politics or risk being marginalized.
Another delegate is Dean Ando of Tacoma who was a high school basketball teammate with Obama in Hawaii. Ando says Obama was probably the smartest guy on the team.
