Washington State Republican Caucus 9-Feb-08 Delegates: 41 County Results --- 40% Reporting 1 Ron Paul 49% 2 Huckabee 21% 3 McCain 16% www.khq.com/Global/story.asp?S=7847796 Decision 2008: Washington State Caucus Day Posted: Feb 9, 2008 01:30 PM Updated: Feb 9, 2008 07:36 PM E. WASH. - Thousands turned out as Precinct Caucuses for the Democratic and Republican Parties were held Saturday at various locations throughout the area. The Spokane Democratic Chair reported seeing double the number of usual voter turn out some precincts, even triple in some places such as the 4th Legislative District. Republican Caucus Results: With 40% of the precincts reporting - Ron Paul 49%, Mike Huckabee 21%, John Mccain 16%. Democratic Caucus Results: No clear lead with only 15% precincts reporting. Statewide Caucus Results: The Associated Press is reporting that with 24% of results in, Barack Obama was winning 65% of delegates to Hillary Clinton's 33%. Washington Republican and Democratic chairmen say the personal visits by the top three presidential hopefuls should send caucus attendance soaring, as partisans gather in hundreds of community meetings at 1 p.m. Democrats will allocate all 78 of their elected national delegates through the process. Republicans will use results to allot about half of their 37 elected delegates. The state also has a presidential primary, conducted mostly via mail, on Feb. 19. Republicans will use results to elect half of their national delegates, but Democrats view the primary as a nonbinding popularity contest and won't use it to allocate delegates.

With 37% of the vote in, only 4808 Republicans have shown up to vote. Talk about low voter turnout.
Eastern Washington is a VERY Republican area, and even with that as a given, Republican turnout could not be lower if the polls had signs out front saying "Quarantined for Measles" on them. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Republicans are going to be MAULED this fall. Just utterly CRUSHED. They are going to lose at least 80% of the races they're in. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have destroyed the Republican brand. It's going to take at least a generation in the political wilderness before we'll see another Republican president. I'm thinking that if they atone in a really big way, and work really really hard, we may see another Republican in the White House by 2028.
I am so sad, just nearly in tears. NOT
Especially since it's looking like McCain is going to be the Pubbie nominee. Can you IMAGINE the totally NEGATIVE "coat-tail" effect his candidacy is going to have on the rest of the party? Oh man.... the pubbies are going down like a concrete zeppelin this fall...
