We DID WIN Washington!!

[hellsingfan]

People people don't let these numbers get to you. We DID win Washington. The packet and training, and a lot of people were told to be UNCOMMITTED. Why? Because of what happened in OTHER states. We thought that if we wrote RP and not many people RP showed up then we won't become delegates.

But guess what? We underestimated WA! RP supporters showed up!! My precinct, my neighers precinct, my friends precinct were ALL SWEEPED by RP! Even in my precinct one RP guy who donated to the campaign put uncomitted as well!

I DIDN'T put uncommitted. Why? Because first I looked at the sign up sheet, saw that my precinct had majority RP, so I had my family write in RP instead of uncomitted!

And something that you may not have known. My bro went to the PCO training meeting, and MORE THAN HALF OF THE CARS were RP!!!! Most of them should be automatic delegates!!!

Look at the results we're down by 600 people? Look at the portion for OTHER! (it also includes romney, so I'm not saying all of them) If we all had believe in the power of WA RP supporters than WE WOULD HAVE WON THIS Beauty contest, but whatever I can tell you without a doubt that we WON THE MAJORITY IN DELEGATES!!!!

Actually, I'm really looking forward to the state conventions when the REAL vote for the national delegates occur.

Every time I read the OP I get more upset.

Winning Washington would have won us more states and more delegates than having everyone hide their RP pride, if this is true

Did you look at Alaska? We thought we would win. In Washington we didn't want to take a chance. Its better for us to get the delegates! But like I said, we underestimated RP support in the caucus. So just be happy that we didn't fuck up in the delegate area! You'll see stories where 4 people showed up and 3 were romney, but the 1 selected for delegate was RP, why because he put undecided, and when it was time to give a talk he said something pro-Romney like! Lol!! We did this to win, sorry if you can't look past the beauty contest, but if this wasn't done we would have lost a lot of delegate postitions!

Oh I get ya..."uncommitted" delegates go to the RNC and vote for their preference THERE where it really counts , cant mess with a vote if it's unknown..

 

[fortilite]

I call BS.

It just doesn't make sense, I'm not meaning to sound cocky or ignorant if I come across that way.

But wouldn't it have looked better to the rest of the upcoming states to see Ron Paul in 1st with 30-40%? That would have won us more delegates in the long run, unless I'm wrong?

How so? Everyone but die hard Ron Paul fans think his campaign is over and that McCain is almost an inevitable winner...everyone but Huckster's evangelical army which won't vote for us either.

We just need to get this news out to RP supporters that otherwise might be giving up on the caucus/convention process in their state.

Everyone should focus on their own neighborhoods. Relying on someone else to do your work for you is, well, kinda like welfare isn't it?

I hope you are right and this happens all over the rest of the country!

The supporters in my precinct all signed up RP in our precinct because we knew that the only people that showed up were old, and they didn't want to go (only two + 3 alternates volunteered).

 

[fortilite]

Ron Paul got 3rd. Wishful thinking doesn't accomplish anything.

Unfortunately what will be reported is "John McCain wins Washington."

McCain DID win Washington.

That doesn't matter, everyone already thinks he won the nomination.

I am considering going out and canvassing for Huckabee just so McCain doesn't win the nomination, and we win the delegates. I'd probably tell them wrong convention and caucus dates, just so we can get that one extra delegates.

Don't worry I won't do that since I'm full committed to Ron Paul, and Huckabee ain't gonna win WA anyway. I hope either we or Huckabee win on March 4th. I was actually elated that he won Kansas, it shows us the convention might still be brokered.
