UPDATED: Let the nominations begin
By Bryan BissellThurston County will get an early look at the hurt feelings and potential lawsuit claimants that may come from the early Democratic Party nomination process and the "Top Two" primary tonight. It is the Thurston County Democrats' monthly meeting, and the local PCOs will have to do their duty of selecting who will be the official Party nominee since the primary has no bearing on partisan politics.
The Olympian's Brad Shannon has the story on his politics blog, where he reports that the Thurston County Commissioner's race between former Lacey City Councilman Jon Halvorson and ex-state Representative Sandra Romero of Olympia could come down to just a couple of votes.
Neither will be able to claim that they are the official nominee on the "Top Two" ballot, but in the event that the party's chosen nominee comes in third this summer, the Democrats will almost certainly be angry.
UPDATED: Halvorson edges out Romero, 77-63.
