Kristine Reeves

DENVER - With a night under their belts to soak it in, many of the Washington state delegates were still soaking in the program from the convention Monday night. Kristine' Reeves, an Obama delegate and the Spokane County Democratic Party Chair, found the slate led by Michelle Obama and Sen. Ted Kennedy to be particularly emotional and profound.

"I think they were moving," Reeves told PolitickerWA.com." They were inspirational and awe-inspring and, regardless of what FOX News will tell you, they were motivational in a lot of ways."

The seven Party Leader & Elected Official (PLEO) delegates pledged to Sen. Barack Obama at the Democratic were chosen Sunday. The group includes a wide range of elected officials from within the party with two state senators, a state representative, a mayor, county chair, county commissioner and even a precinct committee officer. See the full list below.
