WA (Data for Progress) - Biden +3

[Xing]

Shouldn't Bloomberg, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar have received a notable number of early votes?

Yes, which is why Sanders has a chance here.

As I've been saying, the median WA Dem is far less progressive (especially economically) than this forum envisions.

But still not "centrist" by any means. Perhaps you're referring to people who call WA the "Vermont of the West", which really only applies to Seattle and a few nearby areas, but WA Democrats are not to the right of Democrats nationally.

That state as Seattle, Olympia and Bellingham to give it a decent liberal tilt, but Seattle's suburbs are fairly moderate. The rest of the state could go either way.

Most Seattle suburbs aren’t “moderate” per se (Bellevue in particular is far less moderate than it used to be), but if you’re just saying that they’re less liberal than Seattle, then yeah, hard to argue with that.

No, they're very moderate.

Yes, obviously a poster from IL understands my state better than I do

Yeah, I might!  I know these moderates.  They don’t want a socialist, they want a neoliberal.  Maybe in Seattle that would fly.

0/10, try harder.

I guess you’ll see tomorrow

I'm predicting a very narrow Biden win, but not because the "suburbs" are "very moderate." Plenty of liberal voters are only concerned with beating Trump and nothing else. It has nothing to do with disliking Sanders's policies, there are plenty who like his policies but not his style.

I agree with that and really I was just using moderate in the context that it has been used in this primary.

Fair enough.
