SEATTLE -- Moving beyond their Super Tuesday split decision, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have turned their attention to delegate-rich Washington in advance of Saturday's Democratic and Republican caucuses.

Clinton, addressing 5,000 roaring partisans at a cruise ship terminal here Thursday night, saved most of her barbs for lame-duck President Bush, but accused Obama of abandoning the goal of health care for all, and took a poke at his trademark appeals for national unity and hope.

"I am wanting to unify the country, but the purpose is progress" on many fronts, not just because it sounds good, Clinton said. She said she offers "dreams and practicality," not empty rhetoric.

"I'm a fighter and a doer and a champion for the American people," the New York senator said, pledging to work relentlessly for "a richer, safer and stronger America."

Clinton stressed health care and spent much of her 42-minute stemwinder address appealing to the state's environmental community. She said she would work "every single day" for universal health care, and portrayed Obama as giving up on that goal. She praised Washington for leading the "green revolution" of creating thousands of new jobs developing alternative fuel and energy. America needs a president who "gets" that and who will work effectively on global warming and climate change, she said.

Obama planned to follow on her heels with a Seattle rally on Friday.

Clinton also planned events in Tacoma and Spokane on Friday. She was scheduled at a nurses rally at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma and at a Spokane town hall meeting.

John McCain, newly in command of the GOP nomination for the White House after his top challenger, Mitt Romney, suspended his bid on Thursday, also planned to continue his delegate hunt here - and offer the opening salvos of his general election campaign.

McCain planned to sweep into Seattle later Friday, arriving at Boeing Field and then heading downtown for an event with supporters at The Westin Hotel.

The personal visits by the top three presidential hopefuls should send caucus attendance soaring, said the state Republican and Democratic chairmen.

"I expect a rip-roaring turnout," said the Republicans' Luke Esser.

Democratic Chairman Dwight Pelz said the Clinton-Obama race is essentially a tie nationally and that the delegate hunt could last another month, or even stretch all the way to the national convention in Denver in August. He declined to predict a winner in the caucuses, but said the anti-war state will definitely go for the Democratic ticket in November.

The state hasn't gone Republican for president since Ronald Reagan ran in 1980 and 1984.

"We expect a huge, record-breaking turnout for the caucuses," Pelz said. "We've planned on 125,000 and it could be 200,000. People are very excited."

The neighborhood gatherings are on Saturday, beginning at 1 p.m., at hundreds of schoolhouses, church basements, union halls and living rooms. All registered voters are welcome, but must identify themselves as a party member at least for the day.

Democrats will allocate all 78 of their elected national delegates through the process, and Republicans will use results to allot about half of their 37 elected delegates.

The state also has a presidential primary, conducted mostly via mail, on Feb. 19. Republicans will use results to elect half of their national delegates, but Democrats view the primary as a nonbinding popularity contest and won't use it to allocate delegates.

Secretary of State Sam Reed said the white-hot coverage of this week's Super Tuesday events and the Democrats' continuing duel now puts the state in the national spotlight. He expects record turnout for both the caucuses and primary.

Polls and independent analysis forecast an Obama victory in the Democratic caucuses, although Clinton forces are pressing hard.

Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., dean of the House delegation, came out for Clinton on Thursday.

McCain is favored for the Republicans. Backers of Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul, already heavily involved in organizing for the caucuses, hoped to win over some Romney supporters.

Obama spokesman Jeff Giertz said Obama has a strong ground organization.

"We're in a strong position," he said. "It's a tight race, but Senator Obama has good momentum and we do well in caucus states."

Clinton backers reported a surge in support since Super Tuesday and said they will do well in Washington.

McCain's state director, Seattle attorney Chris Fidler, said Romney's departure could mean gains for McCain, but that the campaign takes nothing for granted yet.

"We're still fighting like there's no tomorrow," he said. "We're still pursuing our strategy of getting people trained and willing to give an hour and a half of their time on a Saturday afternoon to caucus."

Ron Paul visited the state last week and Huckabee has campaigned here.
