Washington Caucus Results Thread

Lost Grays Harbor County by 1 vote WTF.

I think the problem is no one here wants to admit Ron isn't trying to win the Presidency- he's fueling a movement that's growing by leaps and bounds and could eventually take this country back.

If we put all of our emotions into this election we're going to be disappointed- we can't forget the bigger picture here.

We can't forget that no matter what happens this is just the beginning.

If he's not trying to win then he needs to establish a viable, new, 3rd party. We can't expect his disciples to run as GOP when they just cheat their way to victory.

 

[Emperius]

Really disappointing

wow so the chairman just said its to close to call atm since the big counties have yet to be counted and CNN turns around and says Romeney is the winner?

They have to just in case he isn't the winner people shut it off go to bed thinking Romney won Washington just in case he doesn't

 

[pauliticalfan]

Irresponsible call by CNN. Should have waited for Spokane out of principle.

Lost Grays Harbor County by 1 vote WTF.

Statistically near impossible?

 

[Origanalist]

Ron Paul second in Snohomish via CNN. About 700 or so behind Romney...it was like 1800 Romney, 1080 Paul (rough numbers)

That's where I caucused? at and it sounds about right.

If the base keeps growing by leaps and bounds like it has been it will be impossible to stop.

If Ron was dominating these straw polls no amount of voter fraud could stop it.

There is no ceiling to our support because there is no ceiling to liberty and freedom.

Are we mentally prepared for Santorum to squeak past us at the last second?

Anyway, no matter what the result is, I was really impressed with the Grassroots efforts to try and overcome any campaign shortcomings in Washington. I hope you guys can feel good about what you achieved.

He was saying we may pick up Spokane Co. It's locked up for Romney...he won the heavily-populated areas.

 

[pauliticalfan]

Fuck you Gloria Borger. What about Rick Santorum? He was leading the WA polls until recently. Not a disappointment for his smug ass? Fuck you.

Exactly. Any chance to smear Paul, she'll gladly take.

 

[JJ2]

Um how did some of these counties change from Ron to Romney after they where showing 100%?

What?! Which counties?!

That's bit idealistic. But I like where the whole movement has been going and still going.

That report said NORTH SNOHOMISH county.

I think the real question is our we mentally prepared for Ron to get 2nd after CNN and Fox to stop covering the caucus' in an hour or so...


Also, Gloria Borger has to be my least favorite person at CNN, Bash included.

 

[deputydon]

Well, let's see if Paul looks as sad as he did after losing Maine...

 

[phil4truth]

We're not winning this guys, let's accept it.

 

[WD-NY]

Hate to do "what ifs..." but if we had won Washington today, we would have won Alaska, Idaho, North Dakota, and Vermont on Tuesday, and we would have been the Super Tuesday winner.

Yep. This was huge in terms of Momentum and we LOST. Again.

Add to this not being at the Huck forum (which has thus far been excellent... just like the other 2 forums) and you've got the makings for a disastrous super tuesday.

And for the cherry on top, I have little doubt that Ron is going to step up to the mic tonight and deliver the same f'in off-the-cuff stump speech he's been giving since Iowa. Doubt CNN will show it, but if they do... who cares. Heard it all before.

Is Ron going to be speaking?
