Well the Democrats had NO LOCAL press coverage for their 43rd District Caucus. Had they had some this story would have been published:

When Democrats in the 43rd state legislative district in suburban Seattle met April 5 to select delegates to the state convention, they refused to begin their deliberations by saying the Pledge of Allegiance:
"At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos," wrote Web logger Eli Sanders, who attended the caucus. "Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the pledge up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag ... was shouted down."
The 43rd is part of the congressional district represented by U.S. Rep. James McDermott (D-Wash.), who just before the start of the Iraq war made a trip to Iraq to criticize U.S. foreign policy that was financed by Saddam Hussein's intelligence service. (There is no evidence Rep. McDermott and his two congressional companions were aware of the source of the funding.)
