2. Why urge him to move to the NW corner of WA if there is strong opposition there? Why not south?

North and East of King County is red. Why bother to move to Bellingham, for example, to work to change people's minds if there is strong opposition, when other areas may be more open to Kucinich?

Just curious, this letter seems to contradict itself. But it's from someone who seems to know a lot, so I'm not arguing with them. Just wondering why the focus is on the NW corner of WA.

That's not where most of his support comes from, as far as I know, it's around the Seattle area that he has the most amount of people who agree with him. I've met a number of young Democrats who are follow his work and philosophies and would support him.

Other than that question, I don't have much to add.
