Looks like people are voting Romney just to stop Paul

Timothy Rivetveld, 57, told @AP_Phuong he voted for Romney in WA caucuses, though “my heart is for Santorum.” #wacaucus #wagop #romney...

That shows a true mind of a sheep i am not surprised, over all i think paul will win over Romney Boy.

Second is looking more likely... But on the bright side, none of the polls were right about us finishing with a BS 10-16%.

I still hope for a first.

Any state that recently eliminated its primary will be almost impossible to poll because most people don't know about the caucus process, and when they find out about it, the casual supporters of a candidate end up not wanting to go. The same thing is occurring in Missouri where the primary doesn't count for delegates. Most people when explained how a caucus works end up balking, but when asked on the telephone without knowing, they will give their preference.

Iowa is different because they have a long tradition of using the caucus system.

So do I but I have absolutely no feeling for the overall result, right now.

YOu weren't here when people were saying the polls should be taken as gospel. The problem is, others do take them as gospel and they CHANGE the intended actions of people planning to vote.

Given that they can't accurately predict new caucuses or low turn out caucuses, one suggestion would be for them to not poll them.

Just got back.

At least 100 people.
One person at my table was Someone who used to go to Ron Paul meet-ups and other functions was already there. Problem was i saw who he voted for in the straw poll...Newt. I told him there is no way in hell...my exact words...that he is getting a delegate slot or alternate slot. We had a 'strained' conversation about Ron. He said...i like Ron on 95% of things except....foreign policy....FUUUUUUCKK!..i went off on talking points he could not counter...he tried, but i pounded him so hard he finally just left. In comes more of my precinct. A father with 2 of his voting age daughters. All Ron Paul hardcore supporters. I as precinct leader talked the father into signing up for County delegate. The daughters...no. However...with myself my wife and this father we ended up with 3 county delegates..the max for my precinct... for Ron, and i signed up my 2 voting age kids to be alternates....

Whew...not bad for a couple hours.

As a bit of advice to all those so wrapped up in straw polls?....chill....until these conventions get underway, i suggest staying off the internet if you want to cry about Ron not getting any ...stupid straw poll wins. Its a waste of emotion. Direct your efforts elsewhere...like DONATING MONEY!

They generally do to a certain extent in a straight-vote primary, but a caucus is a different animal when that population doesn't have a tradition of being involved in a such an in-depth process. That is why we end up often taking a majority of delegates in the precincts we lose because most are still fixated on only the up-down vote.

The important thing is to show up and vote for your guy no matter what.
