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

It’s a CRAP shoot.....I caucused in WA State today...and will vote on the Primary next week...and McCain will NOT get my (nor my husband’s vote).
Where are the rest of the results! They must be throwing out non-McCain votes in certain areas!
If I didn’t get to the causcas,(work) does my ballot mean anything?...they are not due until the 19th.
Most of the people in my precinct considered Romney out of the race. They were basicly a bunch of idiots, not worth arguing with. You can imagine that there was no reasoning with either Ron Paul or Huckabee voters, especially the Huckabee voters that were led by their minister. They guy was another phoney minister of one of those non-denominational churches. You know the type, good looking, attractive wife, more interested in himself than in worshiping the Lord.
Low turn out, many people thought that it was a fait accomplis, so why waste their time. Several of our largest precincts with the greatest number of registered Republicans had no one there.
Apparently they literally stopped counting and went to bed. I guess it's one of those laid back West Coast things. I don't quite get it.
One precinct that did go for McCain at our caucus, almost went 100% McCain, and accounted for almost all the McCain voters. That precinct was in town, newer, younger voters, with families, who probably didn’t pay much attention to politics.
I think many people don't realize that they can still cast votes for Romney, and they will count, which is why Huckabee is getting so many today. Hey, I'm just glad McCain isn't getting them.

YES! Your ballot DOES mean something. 49% of delegates are chosen via the caucuses....51% of delegates are chosen by ballots from the primary! VOTE!
That’s exactly what is happening. These people don’t follow politics very closely and depend on the evening news for their opinions.
The Ron Paul supporters were the worst, though.
“Where are the rest of the results!”
I don’t know. I’ve had another window open at the WA state GOP site - I posted the results from there and they said next update at 9:15 - I keep refreshing, but they don’t
Wow, thats a pretty harsh endictment of a Christian minister. Unless you know him pretty well your characterization of him seems kind of presumptious of you. I wonder if you will get blasted in the same way that many of the more moderate people on Free Republic blasted Dr. Dobson when he questioned Thompson’s faith.
McCain lucks out again.
He really lucked out on Super Tuesday winning all those winner take all blue states.
McCain is getting a message
now if Huck gets WA too...

It is so strange how different each State is. In Florida, McCain won with less than 40 per cent of the vote, and he got ALL of the delegates, and in Louisiana, NO ONE gets the delegates? So confusing, but thanks for the info.
