2:30 p.m. NWCN reporter Wilson Chow sends in preliminary numbers from a straw poll conducted at Clark Co. GOP headquarters in Vancouver. The results are:

Huckabee: 33 votes, Paul: 28, McCain: 23, Romney: 16, Hunter: 3.

A caller from a Democratic caucus in Madison Park says particpants are favoring Obama.

2:25 p.m. : KING 5 reporter Linda Brill says Kentlake High School is "all over the map." She reports:

"We're talking to people who are for Mitt Romney – and who will try to be delegates for Mitt and who will not give up until the end. There's a lot of people in support of Huckabee and it seems those who are in support of McCain would pick Huckabee as a second choice. A small and dedicated group for Ron Paul. You just walk out of here and you don't know really what the consensus is - the only thing that is certain is the uncertainty – and the diversity of opinion."



I was at this one. We would have taken the whole thing, except a handful of Romney supporters thought he had dropped out completely, and so they voted for Huckabee instead. Afterward, they realized that Romney was still in it and controlling his delegates, and they were kicking themselves for not voting for Romney.

Ah well...

One thing I learned - a lot of old people go to these things, and many of them don't actually have any principles other than they are generally "conservative." You know - the kind of conservative where if you have a good hair cut and believe that gay marraige is a horrible thing, then that's close enough. When it came to pick out the platform, there was a lot of people who were inconsistent.

The bottom line is that this would have been easy for Ron Paul people to absolutely dominate if they had shown up in larger numbers. I think Ron's email last night might have depressed turnout - but further than that, I think a lot of young people generally didn't show up in numbers that I thought they would.

It's true that an organized minority could absolutely take over.
 
LMAO!

"4:30 p.m. Seattle bakery Cupcake Royale is having a "Cupcake Caucus" to raise money for charity. Customers are casting votes by buying treats to support their favorite candidates. While Obama and Hillary cupcakes are flying off the shelves - nobody has requested a McCain cupcake."


Aw....no cupcakes for McCrazy...
hahahahahaha!
