Cantwell's stance on Iraq keeps volunteers away, party chief says

It is becoming more and more apparent how oblivious DCers are about the level of anger there is, out here in the hinterlands.

Democrats, as well as Republicans had better wake up.

There is a freakin' volcano getting ready to errupt.

The Seattle Times: Cantwell's stance on Iraq keeps volunteers away, party chief says:

"Sen. Maria Cantwell's continued support for the occupation of Iraq, and her lack of regret for voting for the invasion in 2002, is making it hard to recruit volunteers for her re-election campaign, the chairman of the state Democratic Party says.

The liberal activists who dominate the party's grass roots oppose the war and have been looking for Cantwell to distance herself from President Bush's position.

'Definitely right now there are a lot of activists who are not signing up to work on her campaign, and that's very clear,' state party Chairman Dwight Pelz said Thursday."
