Yes indeed & vote to count the ballots publicly at each precinct location

jameshohmann: "Thank you for your voice," a voter tells @RonPaul as he works a caucus outside Tacoma, Wash.

Talked to a friend that voted in the presidential preference in Snohomish county. They arrived early and saw lots of older folks. They were one of the first ones in line, on the presidential preference vote its really open as the person has to write the name of their preference in the last box after name and address. They saw a couple of Romneys written down and a couple of Ron Pauls, no Santorum or gingrich. They said Gingrich spammed the road going up to the caucus with signs on top of each other. Thats all I know from them, it looks like it could be a Ron Paul Romney show.

Made the blueprint for Obamacare
Flipped flopped on Abortion
Romneycare had a similar provision that forced Catholic Institution to cover birth control
Said he wasn't a Reagan Republican and that his views are 'progressive'

Can't contrast with Obama. He's the "corporatist" candidate, even though he talks about free markets. Free markets are about success and failure. If government helps business, it destroys competition. Obama will rally the OWS crowd to vilify Romney's wealth and corporatist background. Paul could do the opposite and legitimately accuse Obama as being the corporatist (accepting large amounts of money from big banks, etc). Those independent swing voters will decide the election.

ericearling: Caucusing in So. Snoh. Co. Lots of Ronulans. Just like '08. Most R's are Romney people. The Ronulans are, uh, atypical attendees. #wacaucus

jameshohmann: At WA caucus, 55-yr-old woman tells @RonPaul: "My nickname for you is Apostle Paul." Paul responds: "No, no, don't go that far."

brianmrosenthal: And the Ron Paul supporter gets reprimanded for "debating on the caucus floor," which is not allowed #wacaucus http://t.co/KJwW03bI

WTF! Sounds like crap. No debating at a caucus? You've gotta be kidding me.

 

[carterm]

anyone think we should collapse the two threads?

 

[pauliticalfan]

20somethinginWA: Sitting at a table full of #deceptacons at the #WAcaucus but overall support for @ronpaul seems to be the largest!

I disagree. 2K+ votes in caucus for Paul, 40K in primary. I think we want a huge turnout.

Small turnout in Wyoming and Nevada did not work. Iowa had big turnout and we did well
