Washington GOP caucus **results thread**

[RI]

Romney won Yakima last time. Not surprising he won it again.

Where are you getting county results for the 2008 caucus? Atlas doesn't have them.

I have a spreadsheet with them, plus they're on the map in my primary megathread.

Here's my map from 2008, for reference:

Uncommitted won Pacific, I believe.

^ It's possible some of the numbers are out of date... Do you have a source?

[Alcon]

Besides Pacific being Uncommitted, Wikipedia also has Klickitat County as light blue, which doesn't correspond to any code...other than that, things look consistent.

This CNN link is ok, but it omits Romney's votes for some reason:

Pretty sure Klickitat was Paul country.

Okay, I've updated Pacific and Klickitat's percentage.

Tally from this thread so far:

Romney 1,398 (35.41%)
Paul 1,056 (26.75%)
Santorum 953 (24.14%)
Gingrich 487 (12.34%)

[Alcon]

No idea how legit this is, but:

"With vote counted from 15 small counties, Romney is leading #wacaucus with 31.5%. Paul at 26.9%, Santorum 24.4% and Gingrinch 12.9%"

[J. J.]

It's looking like Romney, with a very weak Santorum showing.

He's a reporter for the Seattle Times, so...

Huffington Post is comparing today's caucus results to 2008's primary results.

hese initial results probably represent only 10% or less of the #wacaucus vote, WA GOP Chairman Kirby Wilbur says

Kirby WIlbur (@uw '81), the @WAGOP Chairman, is about to release initial #WAcaucus straw poll results. #uwelectioneye

These early counties are overwhelmingly Eastern Washington, which means Paul is probably solid for 2nd and Romney is almost certainly the winner.

Depends on which counties exactly, but this is probably true.

Hearing that @MittRomney won in Cowlitz County... #wacaucus

One of Santorum's better opportunities gone, if true.

Is any network covering this. I'm seeing no online coverage or maps besides Huffington which has nothing in.

Romney won last time there too.

I was surprised when I saw the PPP polling with Santorum doing so well. My model had WA in the Romney column 6 months ago.

Any idea why the polls were so far out? These results show WA as pretty close to ME which is what you would expect.

First results:

CNN coverage will start at 8pm Eastern.

I don't suppose anyone wants to volunteer to make a map of these results? 

[Politico]

Is Santorum really going to come in third place?

"Undecided"

Do they mean uncommitted?
