We DID WIN Washington!!

[Rusty John]

Now you are claiming 100% of the undeclared delegates? I need to leave this thread ASAP.

No, 100% would be about 4600 delegates. You have now confirmed you cannot add.

 

[Avalon]

Thank you Seattle- I've been on this f'ing forumfor the past 3 hours trying to explain to everybody how a goddamn caucus works and what numbers are being reported only to be met with conspiracy theories, lies and b.s.

You're only frustrated because you refuse to believe that you're arguing with someone who is paid to disagree with anything hopeful you have to say. He's trying to dash the hopes of as many supporters as possible and in general, keep us in a "manufactured reality". Better to have us figure out where we really stood after the fact, when it doesn't matter.

 

[fortilite]

No, 100% would be about 4600 delegates. You have now confirmed you cannot add.

And you've confirmed that you're insane.

But yes, you are correct:

(1/.87)*2,799= 3217 declared RP when 100% precincts report.
(1/.87)*1,729= 1987 undeclared when 100% precincts report.

So yeah, 4200 - 3217 = 983 undeclareds would have to go Ron Paul for Ron Paul to get 4200 delegates.

Of course, McCain gets 3986 when 100% precincts report. I have a feeling he will be getting at least 300 of the undeclareds.


By the way, none of you guys are even mentioning where the Romney delegates will go.

The Romney delegates will go up your ass and felch you.

Thanks for giving us a peek behind the scenes of the process guys. Im not going to pretend it all makes sense to me but you people on the ground give me hope.


I see how frustrating its been for you guys to clear up the media's claims and at the same time educate people about the process. I just wanted to let you know people reading this do appreciate your efforts to get the real story out.


MANY THANKS!!

What makes you think they're getting the real story out? Do you believe every unsubstantiated claim you see posted on message boards?

 

[Ohioproduct4Paul]

No, but I believe I have better things to do than argue with you.

I'm thinking you're a McCain supporter- we had one at the caucus today- the vote was split 3 to 3 on whether to nominate a Huckabee delegate or a Paul delegate. The one deciding vote was a McCain supporter who couldn't quite understand that we were voting for delegates, not an actual candidate. Every time they'd ask for his vote he'd say, "Well I want to vote for McCain." The PCO would explain, that's not how it works- we have two nominees for delegate- this one is saying he will vote for Ron Paul and this one is saying he will vote for Huckabee. Which one do you want to vote for? "I want to vote for John McCain!" the guy would reply. This went on for 10 minutes until he got it.

Then,he aksed why he should vote for Ron Paul, I ran down the list of items and mentioned his desire to bring troops home from places like Korea where they weren't needed. The McCain supporter then accused me of "cutting and running" from Korea, a conflict that had been decided some 55 years ago and voted for the Huckabee guy.

Anyhow- yes, better to take advice and wisdom from you- how doesit feel having 2,253 Romney delegates felching you?

 

[parocks]

Be careful spouting off too many verified facts. You'll probably get labled a troll and told to leave. I should know because it's been happening to me all day. McCain won Washington. We thought that Paul was screwed over in Louisiana, but he wasn't even a factor there. Huckabee won Louisiana.

Actually, the results today in Louisiana were completely of no effect. They would only matter if one of the candidates got 50%. Neither did get 50%.

The results of the earlier caucuses are all that matters at this point. Going farther, there will be state conventions and what have you, and you'll get your national delegates from that process.

 

[Rusty John]

Fortilite is all pissed off because his mother just opened up the door to his bedroom and found him in his sister's panties jerking off to brazilian transexual porn.

 

[parocks]

I guess getting 44% of the vote and winning the state means that you're "barely on the radar" nowadays. Paul must have been completely off the map at 5% then. Some of you are just embarrassing.

You're just wrong. We didn't put effort in to the primary in Louisiana because we knew we couldn't get the 50% to make it worth our while.

We're focusing on delegates.

Parocks, don't try to use logic here, you'll only confuse the morons. Next they will talk about how Paul did bad in Florida, another winner take all state.

 

[parocks]

This is sad. You think Ron Paul is gonna get 100% of the uncommitted? Why? Because some poster said so? Give me a break.

Also you're confused on my reference. McCain's 26% / Ron Paul's 21% = 1.238, or 23.8% more than Ron Paul.

Although you're typically, um, not telling the truth, in this case, yes, we cannot assume that all of the uncommitted 12% = Ron Paul.

Ok, as long as you are bickering about math, work this into your equation

3 people showed up at my precinct caucus. 2 wrote "undecided" and one wrote "Paul."

From these 3 attendees (including myself) we will have 4 Ron Paul delegates and 2 Ron Paul alternates for the next convention.

Guys, don't bicker about math. feel good about today.

 

[tropicangela]

I BELIEVE IT and I will tell you why.

Look at all the other states...

Look at the percentages of "Other."

None come close to 30%.

Two folks on this thread, who are suspected trolls (I hate using that word- I feel like a pimple faced gaming dork) are attempting to convince us that we lost Washington and Louisiana.

 

[luvthedoc08]

wow this thread is pretty epic, better than Cloverfield that's for sure. I can't pretend i understand the process, but when i look at Fortilite's and Jeff's responses they seem to only quote the less damaging arguments against them. Very suspect to me and it seems like Fortilite might be experiencing a little cognitive dissonance here with the rules being explained to him in such a thorough way.

That's because they live in a town between idiot and moron called imbecile.

 

[aravoth]

I belive it, but guys, god dammit, we needed to win a state, outright, not this backdoor shit.

Totally agree- not saying I disagree one bit- Washington would have been a very easy state for him to win without this "Uncommitted" crap- there were radio ads I heard on the air last week but the past couple of days we didn't hear anything- very strong grassroots support here though. Would have been sweet for McCain to get a nice big punch in the nuts tonight with a Huckabee win in Kansas and a Paul win in Washington.
