I hope someone is watching those ballots.
No ballots?
If the results from each caucus are determined at the caucus why does it take all night to add up the totals? And then only 87 percent.
Don't the caucus voters vote? How do they vote? Show of hands? There must be something they are counting.
Also, didn't someone from Washington who was selected as a delegate mention he was left alone with the ballots. That would imply there were ballots.
They had more pressing matters at home - obviously!
American Idol or Paris Hilton on TV perhaps? Who knows? There's plenty of time to do the counting. They'll just store the information in a 'safe place' (wink, wink). What could possibly happen overnight!?
They decide themselves how
They decide themselves how to vote (ballots, hand vote, arm wrestling.. whatever) and then the chairman tallies up the vote in public and writes down the results on a form in triplicate copies and sends it in.
The delegates know they are delegates and they know who else are delegates so its pretty sound. If they showed up at the district caucus and were not delegates.. or the delegates for their precinct where not the people originally elected.. than they would know something is wrong.

No ballots, it's a CAUCUS!
There aren't ballots to watch!
It's a CAUCUS.
Local people get together and talk about candidates and then PUBLICLY elect delegates.
Please please please look stuff up before posting and looking like an idiot.

Gov. Huckabee finishes a strong second
Tukwila, WA…Washington State Republican Party Chairman announced tonight that Senator John McCain has won the 2008 Republican precinct caucuses in Washington State. With 87.2 percent of precincts reporting statewide, Sen. McCain leads the GOP field with 25.5 % of delegates. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee took 23.7 %, Texas Congressman Ron Paul 20.6 %, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won 16.5 %. Approximately 12.7 % of delegates reported their preference as “uncommitted”, while another 1.1% reported their preference as “other.”
Washington State Party Chairman Luke Esser released the following statement this evening, “What a great day for Washington Republicans. They came out in full force today to support their candidates, and to make their voices heard. Congratulations to Sen. McCain for a hard-fought win, his second caucus victory in the 2008 presidential nomination process. And congratulations to Gov. Huckabee for his strong second-place finish.”

Most of the uncommitted vote are actually Ron Paul delegates
If they thought they had a better chance of being elected as uncommitted rather than Ron Paul delegates they ran uncommitted.
These delegatesn are precinct level delegates. They will go to a county convention in March and vote for state level delegates. The winners who go to the state convention will elect the national delegates. These national delegates are the ones that really count. So, as you can see, there is still a long way to go. Considering that it is really close right now, and any delegate can still change his mind, The Romney count and uncommitted count we are far from out.
Another point to think about is that the caucus only counts for about 1/2 of the final delegates. We have a primary for the other half. It will be held on Feb. 19th,
What in that says it's not a caucus?
That says:
There are NO BALLOTS in a caucus.
There will be ballots in 10 days when there is the WA state primary. But NO BALLOTS IN A CAUCUS.
Seriously? Where do you get these crazy ideas???
If you look closer it says he won while the total was still at
87.2%. They are calling McCain a winner although the remaining votes may change the final results. This is strange to me. If Tacoma hasn't reported as some on DP are saying how come the WA GOP is already calling it a done deal for McCain?

Sure, but still no ballots
Yeah, but there are no "ballots to watch."
Won't there be ballots on the 19th for the other 1/2?
And won't they be using those goddamn machines???
