Ron Paul wins district caucus in Washington State today, March 8, 2008

Don't give up, attend your caucuses and primaries, here's why. We scored a victory today. "You can get 50% or better with 6% of ppl." Ron Paul has the majority in this district for delegates going to the Washington State convention May 29-31 in Spokane. The MSM numbers reported for this state mean very little, the process continues.

C: good evening!
Sent at 6:50 PM on Saturday
G: hey!
How was the interview
C: it was fine
i went to my district caucus today
8 to 3pm
G: why so long
more importantly, are you a delegate
C: i am an alternate delegate
there were 198 ppl showed up
we had about 30 RP ppl
G: hmm
was there a straw poll so everyone had a chance to see about how many for each
C: we had our list and we knew who we only vote for
G: so i take it mccain won easily with those numbers
C: in the first round, we had 67 ppl want to go to the state convention
G: oh
C: someone request that these 67ppl should give 10 seconds speech who they intend to vote for
however the chairman said it's not required by law and it would take too long
every one voted no
so the first ballot resulted 10 ppl got selected and 8 are RP
G: wow
C: those were ppl who got 50% votes or more
because we voted for each other and the rest of sheep did multiple guessing
second round comes
someone stood up to request little speech again.. and this time the audiences voted yes
a few RP got up and said something like ' i am christian conservative and would like to participate at the state convention'
most of the mccain supporters say 'i will vote for mccain'
few ppl said they were mitt or huckabee but now they support mccain
anyway, second round selected 2 more delegates
and one of them is RP
but 20 dropped out because they got 10% or less votes
out of the 20 (about 3,4 RP dropped out, i think they were on the ballot but didn't show up)
3rd round, we got 9 selected with 3 of them are RP
and i think the 4th round we got 1 more RP
they also asked for alternate and it's based on whoever gets up to the mic first
G: sheesh
C: we knew the game, so the remaining 4 of use got top alternate delegate spots
we got 13 out of 27 delegates to state, with 4 top alternates
G: is the delegate you are the alternate for, RP?
C: if any mccain ppl drop out, we will replace them
i am one of the top 4 alternate
G: i guess the alternates can be alternate to any of the primary delegates
C: hmm.. i am not sure
G: otherwise there would be equal numbers of primary and alterante
C: i think primary may come from delegate pool
G: so basically we're about even with mccain
C: not even close
some of the delegates are mitt and huckabee
G: oh
wow
how many mc
C: the way we play the game, mccain won't be majority
i don't know how many are mc
chairman, local running office ppl are all speaking the same tone
supporting mc
i hope that other districts are organized like us
someone print out list of names so you guys only vote for each other
you can get 50% or better with 6% of ppl
G: wow, cool
can you write that up, and if you don't want to send it out by email, i will, and place onto DP
C: have you heard anything from seattle group?
or the campaign
G: very quiet, almost nothing
C: they need to provide the list
hmm
G: <snip> is totally lame as far as i'm concerned, <snip> talks like <snip> going to share that info, never lifts a finger
C: i don't know gave us the names
we had 24 ppl on the list, <snip> printed them in font 10 or something
the list was small enough to fold and hide in my palm
some RP supporters printed it out on 8.5x11
but no one cares
G: Maybe I'll just copy our chat, change our names, and place on DP, what do you think
C: sure!
G: of course i'll have to edit <snip>'s name
ok, cool
C: correct my grammar, too
:-P
G: i sort of like it
adds authenticity too
