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.

Dude why is this so confusing? Where are the friggin' results?
With 37% of the vote in, only 4808 Republicans have shown up to vote. Talk about low voter turnout.
Repubs are really pathetic this year.

Oh, thanks. Man, this is close. I can't believe McShame has pulled ahead.
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.

Yeah. I was really hoping that Dr. Paul would energize the young people and the traditionally non-voters to vote, but this didn't happen. In my county, only about 260 people voted for Dr. Paul. The winnner was Huckabee with McCain and Romney running second and third. We actually had a good turnout too. It's very disheartening. I'm thinking about not even voting in the general election. Not voting would make as much of a difference as voting third party would, which is absolutley none. Very depressing.

Those that put their hope in the Democratic Party are going to be real disappointed then. Both parties take their marching orders from the same people. Obama and Hillary are both insiders and for all of their talk will change nothing excpet the size and scope of government in our lives. And that change won't be for the better you can bet your paycheck on that!

The rank and file Republicans have no one to blame but themselves. They allowed themselves to be duped. How they could not see the writing on the wall is beyond me. And if they nominate McShame, they will deserve everything that they have sowed. They are pathetic, and I am embarrassed to call them my fellow countrymen.

You over estimate the memory of the average American. Give Joe sixpack a two term dose of "D" brand stagflation and military blunders (the Iraq meat grinder rolls on no matter who holds office) and watch them run screaming back to the "R" party to save them. Hell, I'll come out right now and predict that if Obama or Hillary wins, the GOP uses the next 8 years to "re-invent" itself in the form of another faux-revolution to sucker the voters in once more. The sad thing is I think such just a move will work. And, as a friend of mine pointed out. The "D"s will rise to office just in time for the wheels come off the economy.

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...

www.ronpaulwarroom.com/?p=5699 Very odd how results are coming in for WA state GOP By researchris | February 9, 2008 all sites that i have followed show the GOP caucus results in three easy steps…. it stayed at zero for quite a while.. the first step was then to sit at 17% for over an hour, then just to 37% for almost as long,,, then now it has been at 78% and just sitting there… from 17 to 37 to 78%… how are these results coming in? the update system on all sites are the same and i haven’t seen it like this for any other state…..well, besides Alaska……

www.ronpaulwarroom.com/?p=5702 « 83% reporting.. McCain 26%, Huck 24%, Paul 21% | Home | Excluding Paul » how does “uncommitted” votes occur in a caucus? anyone?… anyone?… By researchris | February 9, 2008 so these votes that are coming in for the WA state caucus… where you are voting for delegates for the county convention… how do you get “uncommitted” votes when a person says they will be a delegate, then people vote for what delegate they want to represent them…. so are there actual precincts that have delegates that say they want to run as “uncommitted”? and then people actually vote for them because they back up the delegate and their “uncommitted” status? is that how this “uncommitted” vote numbers work? because the caucus’ are not to raise your individual hand and vote for your GOP candidate, it is electing DELEGATES to REPRESENT a certain candidate….. please someone share comments on how “uncommitted” numbers work in this system….
#43. To: TwentyTwelve (#42)
I was part of a caucus where a slate of uncommitted delegates was among the choices. In fact, I received a phone call asking me to support the uncommitted delegates. Sort of -- we don't like our choices, and this is how we will prove our point.

www.ronpaulwarroom.com/?p=5710#more-5710 ATTENTION: just talked to RP Seattle Headquarters….. By researchris | February 9, 2008 okay, so i called the Ron Paul Seattle Headquarters just before they closed. I had to ask them how there can be 12% of “uncommitted” delegates in the results we see on CNN, MSNBC and all the other “MSM” sites. I asked them “So do people nominate themselves as a uncommitted delegate and then people vote FOR them?” The person said FIRST, do NOT go off any MSM site results. The delegate counts aren’t even known yet. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND….. the results that are shown on CNN and MSM sites are STRAW POLL RESULTS!! What straw poll? When you sign in on the sheet when entering the caucus, you put down who your PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE is….. THAT IS THE STRAW POLL NUMBERS we all are seeing on MSM results! The straw poll numbers have NOTHING to do with DELEGATE counts. You can have a precinct that has 20 people… and 15 are for McCain and 5 for Paul… and only 3 delegate slot… Let’s just say Paul gets ALL 3 delegate slots… what you will see on MSM news outlets will be McCain-15 …. Paul-5. However Ron Paul has ALL 3 delegate slots… THAT IS WHAT MATTERS! i had to call and get this straightened out as many of us were going nuts over these numbers online… THEY ARE ONLY STRAW POLL NUMBERS…. NOT DELEGATE COUNTS. The person i spoke to at the RP headquarters said to spread this far and wide so we all know what these numbers are.

www.ronpaulwarroom.com/?p=5752#comments # zooamerica Says: February 10th, 2008 at 7:41 am According the the Washington State GOP, with 87% reporting for the Republicans “Other” is in the lead with 30% of the vote. The old media is ignoring Washington like the plague. They could only focus on Louisiana and Obama last night, and were purposely avoiding what’s going on in Washington. This is a huge story - “Other” wins Washington, and they completely ignore it. Uncommitted delegates are probably a good portion of this “other” category. I wonder what’s going to happen to the delegates? I know only about half are at stake because the other half is determined by the Washington primary - this was a caucus. My guess is that all or most of the delegates will be freed and unbound at the convention, just like Louisiana.

The print edition of the Washington Post that I received this morning had precisely those results with 78% of precincts reporting in a chart on the front page, which mentioned Paul's 21%. Funny thing, though. The front-page article on yesterday's caucuses and primary said nothing about Ron Paul's results in Washington State. It mentioned his 11% in Kansas, but not a word about his 21% in Washington. Just the chart.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
