The Cauci don't begin until 1pm pacific time, but it's never too early to start a live thread.

We had several of our largest precincts with no one showing up . Mainly, in town precincts.

I know you a little bit, when you do things, you come to party!!!!! You are a presence and you will be heard. I see your points, hell I was in the same boat!!!

Thank you so much,Seattle Conservative, for posting that. Very enlightening. No matter where I go or who I talk to, I haven't found ONE person who supports McCain. I just can't believe he is going to be our candidate.

He then ended by asking everyone to stand for the pledge of allegiance, to which a young enthusiastic Obama supporter remarked
“I thought only Republicans did this”

As sad as that comment was, I couldn't help but laugh and say...so very true!

the majority was more enamored with flash over substance if you will and it showed in the impressive Obama tally.

He is a rock star, a saviour ...they have NO IDEA what he stands for or what he will do, but he sounds good and like blind sheep they will come out in droves to vote for him.

Every one needs to do their research on Obama. He is a very dangerous candidate.

Unsurprisingly, the MSM is ignoring it (CNN table for Republicans is completely blank, while for Democrats they show 57% reporting), since it appears Ron Paul is winning by landslide (via local station KHQ, showing Democrat counting going well behind the Republican counting):

With 40% of the precincts reporting:

49% Ron Paul
21% Mike Huckabee
16% John Mccain

The NM Republican primary is June 3. The Democrats voted last Tuesday and, as is typical in NM, they haven't figured out who won yet. Hillary's ahead by about 150 votes or so. However, because of massive screwups in planning, 17,000 provisional votes were cast that need to be sorted out.

Heads are going to roll at Diabold for this screw-up. Someone there it seems forgot to turn their counting code to match the MSM polls showing Ron Paul at 6%.

[CedarDave]

Didn't answer the rest of your question:

If the election is decided by then [May] do you think we should just vote for (in our primaries) who we all originally wanted to send a message to the country/GOP/MSM???

If McCain has a majority by then, it won't matter. But the idea is to have him NOT come in first.

[gpapa]

The Washington state GOP says they will start reporting results after 6 pm local time.

[djf]

KIRO TV still has a anner running saying “Waiting for results...”.

You can bet if Paul did get a win here, they sure as heck don’t want to tell us!

[Pining_4_TX]

What are those things hanging down beneath the sign?... oh, never mind.

[CedarDave]

So why does Washington have a caucus and then a primary ten days later???

[jan in Colorado]

This is FANTASTIC! I hope the trend continues!

[Dog]

Dude.

[goodnesswins]

HEY, SW....at our Caucus they had us sign in and INDICATE our PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE right on the sign in sheet. They were going to use THAT to report back the candidate numbers. THEN, we went and “caucused”....completing a platform like questionnaire, and then electing our delegates.....where we had those who were running as delegates tell us WHY they were running and WHO they were supporting, and why....

Fred’s a Bushbot and now we have confirmation...

[tsowellfan]

That’ll teach Hildabeast not to continue to campaign against Bush and McCain and focus on running against Obama LOL

[traderrob6]

Better a Bushbot then a Bush bashbot.
