Washington Caucus Results Thread

[pauliticalfan]

What the fuck. Why does Romney keep going higher? And you're trying to tell me that Santorum is beating us? There's no fucking way. I've been following precinct results all fucking day, and it's been a Paul/Romney battle. The fix is in.

Gingrich needs to get his fat ass out of the race. He hasn't done a damn thing since South Carolina. We've beaten him in most states, and yet no one talks about him losing. Disgusting.

Gingrich is staying in the race to make it to the south-eastenr states, the confederate states, to do well. We all would like to see Newt drop out, but as long as he has money.. he will stay.

This is what I i don't understand, I was watching the twitter updates all day and never did I think sanatorium had any shot at all for second place unreal!!! The funny thing is they are cheating and they don't evencareanymore how blatantly obvious it is anymore just as long as Ron Paul gains no momentum whatsoever ever at all,,,

Listen to yourself. What happens when Gingrich drops out? Santorum wins the whole thing.

 

[kahless]

and 0.5% of this forum knew who he was back then. and 50% probably weren't even born.

The first and last time I saw him back then was on Morton Downey.

Those counties in central Washington are small "plains towns" much like the midwest or eastern Colorado where Santorum has also done well. It's a cultural fit for him, so I'm not too surprised.

third party run.......

Been there, done that. The GOP and Dems will spend 100's of millions of dollars on the general. Paul can never raise enough money to compete if he were to run on the LP ticket (which is the only option to get him on 50 state ballots). With an LP run he loses soft support from GOP voters, and he will lose vital support from local GOP officials who have backed him in the primary. Elected officials and party activists won't stick their neck out for a candidate who leaves the GOP to run on the LP ticket.

Ron Paul 4,203 24.6 %

Rick Santorum 4,203 24.6 %

There's this same pattern over and over again. Somethings not right...

vote flipping, fraud.

Has Seattle reported yet? I would think Paul would do good there.

Right the thinking right now is that he will try to use GA, MS and AL to insert himself back into this race for the later states.

What pctof the votes are in?

 

[RPit]

We will be 2nd for sure. There is no question about that... But how Romney pulled that big a lead (lead of 400 just from that county that turned away 1500 people!!) tells me this is all BS!

So he pulls 400+ lead in the county that turns voters away? Thats bullshit..

vote flipping, fraud.

Can we hold the insanity back for a few hours at least?

 

[pauliticalfan]

Online result maps acting really screwy. Different maps have different % in, raw vote never changes. I have a hard time believing all these sites are having glitches.

 

[Gray Fullbuster]

Can we hold the insanity back for a few hours at least?

There's been 3 examples of fraud all today.

1500 people turned away, robocalls in the AM telling people the caucus was delayed a week, and the count for one county taken into secret.

Vote flipping is a real thing as well. Go check out the thread.

This is Iowa 3.0 and Maine 2.0

 

[deputydon]

I would imagine we have a pretty good chance to win the city of Seattle... I mean, its an incredibly diverse city, a lot of minorities also, and to my knowledge, Paul usually does pretty well with them.

Soooooo, while we're waiting, I thought I'd share my talking points from the caucus today in case they might help someone else...

I support Ron Paul because:
* He understands the debt and that the debt is the greatest threat we face.
* He understands the economy and that the economy is the biggest issue for this election
* He understands and respects the constitution and knows that the freedoms protected by it are what made this country great
* He understands that Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity are inextricably linked and that you can't have any one of them for long without the others.
Also, according to recent national polls, he has the best chance of all the GOP candidates of beating Obama in November.

I tried to keep it short and sweet in case I only got a minute to talk. I also tried to keep it positive and non-controversial.

I didn't end up getting to use it because they didn't allow speakers to get up in front of everyone at my caucus and all the people in my precinct were already Ron Paul supporters.

I hope this helps someone out there!

This is a really great summation of Dr. Paul's platform. Thanks for sharing
