I have a really bad feeling we're going to see that gap widen instead of close ... I also fully anticipate there to be some fishy business going on tonight.

 

[FriedChicken]

But even if Paul loses I'm going to fight the GOP till my last breath in this election - make sure they always remember the Ron Paul supporters. Gosh I hope he wins tonight though.

Without a doubt, I've lost pretty much all hope of Paul actually winning a state.

Delegates delegates delegates.

Now it says 12% reporting for me but no vote changes.

I hope Ron wins tonight too!!

Ya if Pierce or Snohomish County went strongly Romney things will be bad. But I think we will do fine in King (at least close)... but if they hold up King till the end since it is the largest, the chairman of that county is a cheat and we could lose because of that.

I still believe its a toss up until we see numbers from pierce and snohomish. And Spokane must be KILLER to win.

While results were supposed to be in all at once, in about an hour, some have already started rolling in to Google.

Going to be close folks, but we might pull it off!

Romney
30.9% 1,272

Paul
27.1% 1,116

Santorum
24.1% 991

Gingrich
13.5% 556

Google is now showing 12% with the same vote totals you have posed. Odd.

 

[69360]

Wow, better than I could have hoped for, but it's early yet.

 

[mosquitobite]

Yeah - 12% but same totals as 9.8%?

 

[RPES1]

Which counties are the big ones we are trying to win?

Edit* People you need to do math, whats 6785x12%.....................814.2. Now relax these are the current numbers.

Yes, as I was posting it went from 9.2 to 9.8%. Odd indeed, I have updated the thread title to show 12%. Maybe some precincts had no participants?

There was another thread on here where a supporter convinced his brother, a Dem precinct chair, to caucus for Paul. It included a picture... his brother was the only person at the caucus!

So I guess that might explain it. Maybe the reports of the personless caucuses are coming in early as there's nothing to count, so they're reporting that in the total % but obviously it wouldn't affect the votes.

We need to keep things close in King to have a shot.

I wish Spokane, CDA(northern Idaho) , and western Montana was its own state. 100% guarantee a RP win in that hypothetical state.

I haven't kept up with the WA caucuses as closely as any other contests, but it seemed we were trying to do well in the urban areas and parts of rural Washington. Based on these early results, we are certainly doing well in some rural areas. The urban areas are the wildcard... urban Seattle has few GOP voters, but big turnout there could well be for Paul!

Yea..there has been endless tactics and proven fraud all over the place, as well as state party officials blatantly admitting that him winning would pretty much knock the earth off its axis, so until it actually happens....

....and no surprise his entrance/exit numbers are good, then the gap widens mysteriously/suddenly like always, just like in NV and he finishes in 3rd place

 

[smithtg]

keep taking image captures

watch the morph

 

[dskalkowski]

Remember that there are precincts that report: 0 votes for all candidates. Those are some of the first to report.

 

[anewvoice]

If turnout was in the 30-40k range, that 12% is not counting big areas yet.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

This is exactly what I was talking about earlier.

IF THE POLLS REFLECTED THE TRUTH AT ALL RON WOULD HAVE WON THIS STATE!

Because all week we we're placed a distant 3rd a whole bunch of soft supporters probably figured he wasn't worth it... we very well may double our what our poll numbers showed.

This has been going on at every state, it's hard to win when the deck is so stacked against you.

I don't really want to argue the validity of the polls ( I tend to think its somewhere in between as well as people not being able to read them properly), but I think that the campaign as well as the phone from home boosted our turnout.

Superbrochures = waste.
IDing supporters via phone and giving info of caucus location/time/etc... = efficient spending of money.
