I thought this would be of interest:

Paul's supporters may manage to take a huge bite out of Romney's projected delegate totals in Washington. The fact that they took all the delegates from two legislative district in King county is especially telling: he lost the county by over 20%.
Any ideas on how this will shake out at the state convention? (besides likely chaos as party operatives seek to avoid a Paul victory)
Paul may end up dominating a Seattle-area CD and pick up some delegates as a result.
Statewide---it makes the scenario I originally outlined (Romney camp dominating the State Convention and taking 34 out of 40 delegates) less likely, so the Santorum camp should be pleased at the news.
It doesn't sound that Paul had the same sort of success everywhere, so I assume that the anti-Paul forces will still have a majority in most places at the State Convention. I expect that resisting the Paulistas will prove more important that the Romney-Santorum fight, so an appropriately-divided Romney-Santorum slate is rather likely. The 122 'superdelegates' at the State Convention would presumably also help out the anti-Paul forces as well.
If I can accumulate more solid data as to the results of the LD/County caucuses, I'll update my projection. They run through to April 21, though, so don't hold your breath.
The State Convention ends June 2.
I believe they are both part of the 7th CD which basically contains Seattle proper. Personally I see Paul racking up delegates in Eastern Washington plus the urban cores (Seattle, Bellingham, Vancouver). At the very least it should provide some fun entertainment.
