Washington Caucus Twitter Thread Here

[Give me liberty]

There are tons of precincts, and some only have a half dozen voters. Many caucus sites have many precincts voting under one roof.

So meaning we could still win in first place?

What some of the precincts have us in third? you have to be joking me.

Here's one: Garfield Cty Results of #WACaucus: Romney: 24, Santo: 23, Newt: 6, Paul: 4

That's fourth, not third.

Another: Lakewood HS Marysville unofficial tally #Santorum wins 96 #Romney 89 #Paul 68 #Gingrich 36

Plus several precincts saying Romney easily with 60-70% but no numbers to validate.

Sure. If you have 1,000 precincts, and Paul carries a third of them by a lot while losing another third by a marginal amount and the other third by a lot, he could still win. It all depends on how the vote splits.

We kind of should hope for a strong third by Santorum in order to split the establishment vote.

Also, it is certain that we will carry a lion's share of the delegates, as evidenced by the precincts where Paul only got 1 out of 8 votes, but that one person became a delegate.


It is a math game, and that is why having an open count is important. Even if you lose a precinct, losing by having 8 votes while the others have 13 and 9 is a lot different from losing a precinct with 3 votes while the others have 16 and 11. A strong showing in a lost precinct compliments a good win in another.

which question was his, was it (I hope) the one about compromising principles?

The guy with the British or similar accent who said he coined the term "Blue Republicans" who were people who voted for Obama because they thought they were voting for civil rights and against killing innocents in foreign lands... Video link below should start at right place, but if not, question is at 4m,48s:

WA Republicans are latte drinking RINOS.

THAT'S why Pope Ricky lost...

You think they would love to vote for a fellow Dem. So are you saying that the Republicans in WA who are voting for RP are RINOS?

At our caucus someone moved to hear the results of our straw poll. Chairman said no. I stood up, raised my hand, meeting closed.

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

ok you can see the ridiculousness in elections right here...it's always about who can beat the incumbent and not who's best for the job

Hopefully any margin we have will be too large to whittle away.

fivethirtyeight: Anecdotal accounts seem to suggest Paul or Romney will win WA caucuses, Santorum less likely.

^From Nate Silver himself. Honestly, I would be okay with a strong second, just as long as it screws Santorum out of getting anything out of Washington.

This is kind of looking like Maine, except that everything is happening on the same day. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.

Don't get too excited man. Expect the worse but hope for the best. Don't get disappointed when the results don't go your way. However when the results are official and go your way, then you can go crazy and celebrate, but not until.
