I'm back from mine, only 6 people showed up. I was the lone gunman, but was the first put on the delegate sheet. The other 4, 3 for McCain and 1 Huckabee. I was all alone in my precinct, and even tried to pay off family and friends to come.. but none are interested in politics at all.
I'm a little down, but the others were much older than myself, and didn't even know how delegates were divided up by the Caucus and Primary.. so I did get to school them at that. They were VERY headset, and I swear, it seems harder to persuade the older generations.
I will see them again at the county convention, and hopefully get them to shift support.![]()

They don't want to know his platform, they really don't care.
Some woman came in late and cast the deciding vote against me, but I'm first alternate in precinct 225 Whatcom county. The two delegate spots went to a Romney and McWar supporter. My friend was the only one who showed up for his precinct but they wouldn't give him the packet without a voter registration card and the auditor couldn't find him even though he just got his ballot in the mail.
These are just delegates to the county convention so they are uncommitted. We voted for delegates not candidates

So there was no straw poll taken?
Nope - Although everyone who signed in was asked to write down their presidential preference next to their name.
