Washington Caucus Results Thread

[Danan]

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.

Yeah, of all media jerks I hate her the most. Even more than the FOX News Neocons. They at least have the guts to show their disrespect for Dr. Paul more or less open, but that woman is so fake it's outrageous!

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

When votes are counted in secret, anyone can be presented as winner. It doesn't matter if you 'thought' most people looked like Bugs Bunny fans, if the votes come back for Mickey Mouse.

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

Not winning the beauty contest. Let's see how the delegate situation shakes out in June.

If I was ron, with my voting record, being incorruptible, and having the message of liberty and freedom, after these results in Washington , I would go on a massive attack campaign and really go after romney and sanatorium HARD,,,,, i mean they can only wish they were as honest as Ron with a voting record to back it up!!

 

[PolicyReader]

I'm still baffled by how Pierce can have a lower turnout this year than it did for it's caucus alone in 2008 ... with a record turn out this populace area turns out around half what it did for the caucus last cycle when there was a primary too?

 

[NoOneButPaul]

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

As time goes on people will continue to wake up...

1) The old people holding us back will die
2) The young people strongly supporting him now will raise their kids on his beliefs
3) Ron's words will ring truer and truer
4) America will continue to lose freedom
5) America will continue to spiral towards full blown bankruptcy

They will eventually come around, but we need to face the fact it's most likely not going to be in 2012.

Our best shot is the delegate strategy at an open convention...

 

[JK/SEA]

Anybody know how many COUNTY DELEGATES each candidate has?

answer:

won't know till conventions get here.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

Of course coverage is finished, before Spokane is reported...

 

[Danan]

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

I really hate this. Such a great man - he doesn't deserve this! All the shit he constantly has to go through for the purpose of liberty is amazing.

There's nothing Ron could possibly do to lose any respect from me.


PS: F*** YOU BORGER!

We can always burn the GOP down =P...

 

[Wooden Indian]

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

I think most of us accepted that 50 pages ago. LOL
I didn't expect a win here. 2nd place is what I felt was doable. Props to all the GR that made this a tight race.

Now, let's see that 2nd place finish. Go, Ron.

 

[Origanalist]

That report said NORTH SNOHOMISH county.

Oh.

 

[GraniteHills]

new #'s in

 

[parocks]

I concur... This is a let down, and I'm from WA... But I can not honestly believe the results in King County so far. There is absolutely no way we and santorum are this close in king..

based on the map, looks like king is a pretty big county. I would be very surprised if Santorum beat Paul in Seattle.

There are only two times in history that I know of that after a major crisis had occurred, a free society had emerged instead of more authoritarian and dictatorship society, one was the American revolution against the british, other one is West Germany after WWII.

Why are there SO many more voters than in 2008? Who are these voters and why did they decide to caucus this year and not in 2008?

 

[WD-NY]

Have you ever thought that Dr. Paul has such strong support, even among those who don't support his son who delivers the message well, for the sole reason that he doesn't just read a speech of "hope and change" pure rhetoric that we all see through, but that you can actually see that he really believes what he's saying?

Sorry if that hurts his election chances, but his passionate honesty isn't going to change (and seriously, if the media and GOP got behind him, he'd win this election easily, speaking as honestly as he does).

This sort of thinking is the definition of "enabling".

If Ron writes the speeches HIMSELF, how the heck does him reading them = not honest??

Do you realize how ridiculous that line of thinking is? Don't worry though, everyone else who thinks it's a-ok for Ron to keep delivering the same meandering stump speech makes the same point (re: "Ron speaking off-the-cuff = honest and means he really really really believes what he's saying")

/sigh

Last time there was a primary too. Half a million or so voted in that primary.
