9. The state party leadership is often at odds with the membership

--with the membership being more progressive, as you might expect. WA State has a caucus delegate selection process. which has resulted over the years in pretty strong local organizations--the reason being that people sign up as PCOs and members to support particular candidates, and always a few decide to hang around. The first organizing for Hillary event came out of the state party office, but good ground work can get lots of people to go to the caucuses for Bernie. Social media are a great adjunct to caucus turnout. If you have to work, you can fill in a proxy ballot. (A change from previous years, when proxies were only allowed for religious reasons, disability or serving outside the state in the military.)
