Today was my first caucus and also first as a PCO. Luckily, the precinct had only 9 show up, but six wanted to be delegates, which was the allocated number for my precinct.
Visiting Ron Paul forums, I wasastonished at how delusional they are today. They are actually crying that Republicans haven’t reported so they could change the votes to McCain. They base this off of a district in Spokane reporting that Paul has 45% of the votes, ahead of Huckleberry and McPain. Like I said, delusional.
At my caucus, several precincts caucused together and Paul’s supporters showed up en masse, but only succeeded in getting him a second place finish in the straw poll behind Huckabee. McCain was third, with Romney and Hunter grabbing a few votes as well. One didn’t like the question of “winning the war on terror.” He thought it should be “ending the war in Iraq.” Too bad, so sad, it wasn’t changed and several let him know that “winning the war in Iraq is ending it.”
In all, a good experience, especially for my first time.
Wow, nice report. An actual discussion of the candidates and the issues??!??. NOT AT ALL what I experienced at my caucus..........
McCain third...GREAT, I would so love to see him lose to Paul!
I don’t think McCain or the RNC have any idea how much McCain is HATED!!!! No idea what so ever!
Me too,precinct 3304;)

My caucus gave McCain the most delegates, with Huckabee in second place and Romney almost as many as Huck.
My precinct was 80% Romney and 20% Huckabee.
We were unanimous that Immigration was the #1 issue.
