Washington Caucus Results Thread

One thing I like is that all but one of the counties next door to Idaho, Ron won. And the one he didn't win is Spokane and that is just screwy, or was specially targeted to try to get rid of 'troublemakers'.
Absurd...

2008 Ron Paul took Spokane county over McCain, Huckabee, and Romney. This 2012 caucus rigged crap, Ron gets 1300 votes, comes in 3rd this time around?

Good heavens, what a night. It's 6.45am here and I need my beauty sleep. However, I shall remain awake and alert in the name of liberty!
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but I just had this thought: A lot of these caucus states are going to be all or nothing deals. In Washington, we will either get all the delegates, or we will get none. If we have a majority at the state convention, we can vote ourselves every single delegate (except the automatic delegates -- party chairman, etc.) and of course we would; we would be foolish not to. If we do not have an absolute majority, the establishment will not allow us to have even a single delegate. Not one. Count on it. We could walk in with 49.9% of the delegates, but we will walk out with nothing, 0.0%, because the 50.1% will stonewall us.

So this is an all or nothing thing. Either we get all the delegates from Washington, or we get none. The same reasoning would seem to apply to all the caucus states, except insofar as their process is different, not assigning all the national delegates from one central final convention. But even then, for each Congressional District convention or whatever the same principle applies: either we have a majority and totally win, or we don't and totally lose.

Thoughts? Could we come away with ALL the delegates from Washington, Maine, Minnesota, and Iowa? As well as most of them from Colorado, the three from NH, and maybe a few from Wyoming?

Here's what the Paul campaign is thinking they will get;
"Washington - Caucus state. 43 delegates, 20 unpledged. That means that we can expect to do very well anyway, in addition to the added bonus of organization turning out some extra numbers of unpledged delegates through the party process. Let’s say 25 delegates from here."

We'll see if it is rigged through the graph used in the South Carolina rigging.

Wow! Here I am, ready to call it a night and you're pushing 7:00 in the morning. I hope you have plenty of coff, er, tea going.

No, that's what our helpful good friend 1836 says. But I am now questioning how likely that is, thinking about how the convention process actually works. If we go to the convention with 30%, we will not be sending 30% of the delegates to national. We will most likely be sending zero. Unless we team up with someone ala West Virginia, or are stealth.

This is correct.
 
100% in!

Romney
37.6%
19,111

Paul
24.8%
12,594

Santorum
23.8%
12,089

Gingrich
10.3%
5,221

We beat out Santorum by 1.0% and 505 votes! They can't say "tied for 2nd" any longer!

No tie! A clear 2nd place for Ron Paul above the so-called "conservative alternative to Romney"

Now the only question is if the media will discuss Santorum's failure or continue to hype him....

Will the media now anoint Ron Paul as the "anti-Romney" "surging" "conservative"? ;)
 
they will call it "basically a tie"

Yea, can almost hear them now:

Wolf: Congressman, good to have you back with us.
Ron: Thank you, good to be with you.
Wolf: So tell us, does it feel good to come in 2nd in a virtual tie with Santorum?

Lol...eh, well he did well there, just woulda been nice to get a more decent cushion from Frothy.

It pains me to think about how well Ron could be doing if the media gave him millions of dollars of free advertising like the other assclowns.

Mmmpph, my mistake. Truthfully, I'm getting a bit rumdum.

I freely admit I am no authority. I think we have a chance to do it in Washington. Will we? I don't know. As for the rest I think this election isn't over and it is still winnable. It depends on the events that shape peoples perspective and what the candidates themselves do from this point.

Poll	                  Date	Sample	Romney	Santorum	Paul	Gingrich	Spread
PPP (D)	2/29 - 3/1	       447 LV	37	     32	       16	   13	        Romney +5
PPP (D)	2/16 - 2/19	       400 LV	27	     38	       15	   12	        Santorum +11
SurveyUSA	1/12 - 1/16	169 RV	26	     19	       7	   22    	Romney +4

I know caucus polls are tough to do, but I would have to call Ron's (16 to 25) a surge and santo's (32 to 24) a plummet.
:D
