Washington Caucus Results Thread

[pauliticalfan]

Politically speaking, we lost Washington, Maine, etc. when we lost Iowa on January 3rd. We should have been 1st in Iowa with about 28%, but two things happened: the campaign failed to push back against the racism accusations (didn't take them seriously enough to address), and CNN/the media manufactured an artificial Santorum surge. And that leads us to where we are today.

King county runs this State. Much to our misfortune.

I was saying that I'm guessing that King County contains Seattle, and well as upscale suburbs. I would guess that the upscale suburbs went for Romney.

There is 25% reporting. Was that Seattle? Or the upscale suburbs?

I second this. I mean, come on, people. If you are going to be weak, fine, leave.

This is a revolution, for Pete's sake, and don't tell yourselves any different. THIS IS A FIGHT TO THE END.

Or (maybe) a fight to the beginning.

The Fox ticker has Paul in second, but third in the line up. They be mocking us!

The speech is starting. Thank you CNN for caring it. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/cvplive/cvpstream1

Thanks for the link. Even CSPAN isn't broadcasting it.

Definitely not. Being in bed with the GOP is like sleeping with an AIDS-ridden syphilictic stinking whore with zero morals and expecting to climb out of bed with your health or wallet intact.

I need to take a shower...

Oh shit! That is some funny stuff, and true.

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

Yes....you mean the REAL battle versus the fake crap the media is feeding the un-wary and ill informed.

The GOTV calls we made I think were very significant in getting results like this. We may not place 1st in the straw vote, but in delegates, we probably did.

We NEED to keep making calls for future states, and more importantly, we need to call at the right time: evenings and 2-3 days before the event happens (if rules permit that kind of deadline) so as many of us show up as possible.

Does anybody know where we can get another list of numbers?

just keep giving money to rp08orbust. There really should be one or 2 deep pockets people who should be able to just take care of that.

I'm not sure, turned off CNN. Couldn't take anymore.

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?

Having a lager turnout makes sense because of the transition from caucus/primary to only caucus... what I don't get is how in that setting the highly populace King and Pierce counties end up having drastically lower total turnouts... I keep waiting for the map to update and show those aren't the final totals

[MozoVote]

Paul is 1% ahead of Santorum now. Please at least keep that so we don't have to discuss them being "effectively tied" tomorrow morning...

 

[GraniteHills]

Santorum wins Whatcom

 

[pauliticalfan]

So we're only leading Santorum by 48 votes.... That's way too close, based on what we'd been reading on Twitter all day.

This whole thing has been tainted.

Keep the faith folks. Delegates Delegates. If you take your eye off the ball of COURSE you will lose faith. We are not going to win a standup fight for the popular vote, just too many ignorant people who will never change their minds, or lemmings joining the "winning" team. ITs not the campaigns fault, its just realities of human nature and the state of our countries ability to think critically. Get those county and state delegates, get into places of power, and shock the fucking world in August. If you cant play pokrr with the big boys then fold and leave . I wonder how many soldiers in Washingtons army acted like this.

I was watching CNN too, and it sickened me as well. What an unlikeable bunch of people they have on that show. Apparently CNN is the only channel that really cares about these primaries? The Fox news babes are hot. The people on CNN are just awful.

We had a decent number of reports on this thread of wins in Seattle. I don't think 19% is Seattle.

Grant County...you've gotta be kidding me.
