Front lines: Washington caucus report.
I'm happy to report that through some decent debate, Paul has won my caucus. 2 delegates are going to Paul and most of the room was anti-McCain. Most people felt McCain was not conservative and sadly can not beat either Democrat candidates. I agree..
To those that sill have upcoming fights, be patient, be open, tell people what you think, and don't turn anyone off. Go over the issues find where people stand and then appeal to those issues.
Edit: Actually its more like 3 delegates. One was undecided between Huckabee and Paul but is leaning Paul. I spoke with someone in another part of the state and he told me their were Paul people everywhere and that Paul won his as well. Cross your fingers, Washington looks really good from the front lines..
Edit2: Another thread is reporting Paul wining in WA state. His results are just for the City of Spokane and not Seattle. Official reports are here. http://www.wsrp.org/News/Read.aspx?ID=7042

I got to count all of the ballots for district 43! Rode in the car with the person who had custody of the ballots to their office and another Paul supporter and I were there the whole time. Mike was actually entering the data into the spreadsheet while I watched one of their people open the envelopes. They were extremely fair and careful and even a couple of times caught a something that I nearly missed that ensured an extra Paul vote. I also caught a couple of near-misses that wound up being McCain votes, so we’re even.
It was so amazing – I can’t tell you how amazing – to sign in every Paul supporter who was in line at my caucus and see everyone’s faces, and then one by one recognize everyone’s name on the sign-in sheets, and then see them win their delegate slots, and hear Paul’s name called out by these McCain supporting GOP guys in their own office. I almost choked up a couple of times!
You guys did an amazing job! Also the Paul people did a much better job of filling in the forms completely – if they decide to throw out all the forms that don’t have a signature at the bottom, we’ll be in even better shape.
District 43 PROVISIONAL results (not including two other small caucus locations, and these are NOT final results, subject to checking voter registrations and whether the forms were filled out correctly and such):
Huckabee 17 delegates
McCain 48 delegates
Paul 62 delegates
Romney 7 delegates
Uncommited 11 delegates
Thank you.
Thank you.

How long are they going to make us wait for the GOP results.
Waiting games are never good.
From what I hear the
From what I hear the Republicans got about 3 1/2 times the number of people in some areas.. I was at GOP headquarters for a short time and things were pretty chaotic down there.. not sure whats going on but no need to panic yet.
I trust the guys in WA, they even had a RP sign (an all the other candidates) down at the GOP.
Understanding Washington
In Washington state, the dems caucus is 100% of the results. But reps have both caucus (today) for 49% of the overall results, and a primary on Feb 19th for 51% of the overall results.
When people talk of delegates today, those are usually local level. Delegates from today to to the district caucus later. Then after that the state level caucus.
Something like that.
Here is
CNN's link to see the Washington vote when they start showing them...I don't like MSM, but its hard to find info like what we want somewhere else...

Not sure exactly, WA was never much of a press target before so the party is somewhat rough on that, however they did request the results in extra early to get to the press.
