Washington Caucus Results Thread

[tangent4ronpaul]

We've been 10-15 votes ahead all evening and suddenly we are 150 ahead - what county came in?

 

[Origanalist]

No worries, when all the king numbers are in that will change. RP is quite a bit ahead of him there.

I DO NOT see Seattle voting for Rick Santorum, no way.

 

[UK4Paul]

Go King! (County, Not Dana Bash's Husband )

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

I am not too quite sure I want to belong in a party where 30-40% wants Santorum as their leader.. despite being exposed by Ron paul at debates and by ads and various Santorum negative articles going around before Washington caucuses.

Only thing we can do is try our best to clean a wall covered with feces with a napkin XD..

King is now at 50%, it was 25% before.

I'm tired, and probably not thinking straight......
If this is true, why does the Huffington map show three delegates going to Ron Paul? Do we actually have more?

No one really knows, but the campaign seems to think we have a lot more than the media is reporting.

National delegates won't be assigned until June. They can't make a count.

My precinct straw poll was 56% for Romney.

But ALL 100% of the delegates are paul supporters. In one month we will go to our county convention and select delegates to the state. In June we will go to the state convention and select delegates for national.

The people who are elected delegates are diferent then the ones on the screen that say 3. Yes Ron Paul has a hell of a lot more then 3.

Just b.c you win the popular vote does not mean you win. People stay after the vote to "caucus" and people are elected to represent a canidate in Tampa FL. The people that are becoming delegates to go to Tampa are mostly Ron Paul supporters. THATS HOW WE ARE WINING!

Much more of King County came in. Still only at 50% though on Google.

Can't lose sight of the fact the moral majority of that is old fucks.

WE ARE THE FUTURE OF THE GOP IF WE DON'T LET OURSELVES BECOME DISCOURAGED!

 

[pauliticalfan]

So I'm pretty sure we're gonna get second.

Hmm...let's take a look at the PPP poll of Washington, shall we?

Santorum: 32% | Actual: 24% (-8%)
Paul: 16% | Actual: 25% (+9%)

Big loss for Santorum, big overperformance by us. Solid showing.

 

[PaleoForPaul]

How do Catholic Conservatives vote for Rick Santorum?

Rick Santorum:“I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”

Compare that to Pat Buchanan, who cared about cultural issues but still understood what America is about:

Pat Buchanan: "The central organizing principle of this republic is: freedom."

Delegates are not awarded until the convention unless I am completely mistaken. This is nothing more than a tally of the preferences of those attending the caucus.

First Spokane came in and putSantorum ahead then another part of King put us back up.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

i dont think we can depend entirely on the delegate system to win. there must be something else up the campaign's sleeve. i doubt they are naive enough to believe some crap wont be pulled later on at the convention.

What it proves is the polling is fucking bullshit.

If they were actually accurate in their polling we might have gotten more soft supporters that thought we had a chance at winning...

Thank you for the answers....very encouraging.
I'll sleep better tonight.

The media said Ron Paul was going to win (because he was) even though there was NO EVIDENCE, No POLL that showed us winning it.. Why? Because he really was GOING to win but to stop that you say Ron will win whether they have any numbers or not, so the establishment comes out in full force to beat him. My take..

And there might be a little 'vote fraud' (but very little if any), we lost this because our supporters didn't come out. Look at those numbers roughly 5000-6000 supporters came out in the WHOLE STATE.. Don't blame fraud blame the people... They only UNDERSTAND the message but they don't BELIEVE (in their heart) the NEED for it. Period. No excuses.

We only got '7%' in the primary folks so the 'general' support for Ron Paul in the State wasn't there.. We outperformed our general support, and that is what we expect to do in a caucus State.

You're assuming the campaign is truly in this to win... they aren't.

The delegates are our best shot and it's already a long-shot in itself because it would require someone like Gingrich or Santorum giving us their delegates instead of Romney.
