Mitt Romney has won the Republican caucuses in Washington state, according to a CNN projection.
With 43 percent of precincts reporting, Mitt Romney leads with 37 percent of the vote in Washington state, followed by Ron Paul and Rick Santorum with 24 percent, and Newt Gingrich with 11 percent. Go to the Tumblr page of the Washington state Republican Party for the latest results. CNN projected Romney as the state's winner at 5:49 p.m. Pacific Time

Santorum voters were NOT allowed to enter to vote
making Washington the fifth or sixth state that Romney
has cheated in.
( Mitt Romney has won the Republican caucuses in Washington state, according to a CNN projection. ) Project much CNN ?
Damn. Again the conservatives split the vote and the media trumpets a Romney “win”. Fingers crossed for a better result on Tuesday.
and Ron Paul in 2nd. Washington is a leftie state
The OP of this thread seems quite pleased that people were turned away.

Someone explains that to me, because I don’t get it:
Why are so many republican voters sheeple or so stupid to vote for plastic-$3-fake Romney?
I’m at a total loss as to why ‘the people’ can’t or won’t see that Newt is the one to lead us out of this mess.
A leader with good common sense and workable ideas is what we need, not another politician.
We are so screwed.
One of my biggest peeves is that a fairly large portion of the electorate in any election seem to think that their purpose in going to the polls is to pick who they think that the winner will be.
I’m sure that some people like this are of great value to society in their own little world, since politics isn’t all there is to life. But, sometimes, I wonder. I think that their primary function is to ride in the wagon and complain when it breaks.

Another of my peeves are people who post the same comment twice in a row.
It’s simple.
When people like you have viciously launched attack on attack on virtually every Anti-Romney in the race not named Newt, people get tired. They’re tired and frustrated that any candidate that gets any traction fails whatever unnatural purity test standard.
The bandwagon on this site is hilarious. One day, they love you (Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Santorum), the next day they are ripping you to shreds.
Here’s another idea. Next time maybe you shouldn’t post thread after thread of Santorum hit-pieces that make it easy for the Romney Opposition research team to locate and organize into a sustained attack.
And lastly, quit acting like an American Idol generation. If 22 Feb debate doesn’t happen, Santorum cruises. Too many stupid people put way too much emphasis on one debate.
Because places like FR are an echo chamber that would lead one to believe MOST Republican voters were partisan, tea party conservatives. The truth is, most Republican voters aren't like that at all. Probably many aren't even paying much attention - and in general, they just want to pick whoever they hear in the media has the best chance to beat Hussein.
Most of us here want a political revolution. Unfortunately, the average American still thinks the idea of "compromise" and "bi-partisanship" are noble goals and something they want to see in their leaders. There are a lot more of them than us.
Easy answer, Marguerite, the little Republican primary voters prefer to follow the “lead” of past nominees McPain, Dole, and GHWB who can “instruct” them “clearly.” People need to know who’s turn it is!
Two words: TRUST and LIKEABILITY.
Reagan had both. While his conservative message was strong, the above two traits gave him his landslide victories. People who disagreed with Reagan still voted for him because they TRUSTED him.
If Newt had the two traits above, then all the money and hit pieces by Romney in the world would not have worked. But as evidenced of how FL went down and how Newt started attacking from the left, it was clear to many voters he could not be trusted.
Say what you will about Santorum, the simple fact is that people trusted him more over the other two candidates. Just like they trusted Perry, or Cain, or Bachmann.
Back on 22 Feb after the debate I warned you people what would have if Santorum fell. I saw the voting demographics and knew the trend. But nobody beleived me.
“Santorum voters were NOT allowed to enter to vote

The precincts in question are in Pierce county which is a Romney stronghold. Read the local paper article and look at the comments. Many Romney supporters were turned away. The overflow crowd exceeded fire code limits and were not allowed in. Poor planning is not a conspiracy.
Go ahead and gin up a conspiracy if that makes you feel better. However, back on planet earth Romney won. Get used to it.
If they pick Mitt as nominee, I’m through with all the f...g business of politics for the rest of my life. I don’t want to see Obama or Mitt’s snouts ever again.
Socialism in America, socialism in Europe ... we’re doomed.
The Western civilization is done.
My error. Pierce = Benton
