Chelan County finally in. The only #wacaucus votes missing are 8 leg districts in King and 1 in Pierce - the one Paul visited this morning

Not able to find Chelan results yet.

I'm not so sure why people are so surprised.

Look at the pre-Colorado predictions. Like I said at the start - my chart had WA as strong Romney. I was shocked with the predictions that Santorum could take WA - just because of the demographics.

Like it was said earlier - WA is a coastal state in the west. Mitt is very strong in the west (+Mitt), strong in Obama states (WA isn't purple), and weak in midwest states, southern states and Red states.

WA is not a hard Romney call right from the beginning. I'm still struggling to understand the PPP polls with Santorum up by double digits in WA.

So, tonight is a victory for sanity if that means anything at all. It means that our essential analysis of the situation is correct, and should prevail on super tuesday. OH will determine the nomination.

A win in OH for Santorum over Romney means that he should get the nomination. A win by Romney means that he should get the nomination, as he'll have enough support with IL + OH, despite losing in MI with the delegate split.

More Pierce in, up to 80% reporting.  Not a great LD for Romney; I think Paul and Santorum did fairly well in Puyallupland, which is where Twitter alleges the remaining LD was.  (Although there's clearly more missing.)

Paul now leads by 189 with the vast majority of outstanding votes from King County.

It does as of 3-5 minutes ago.

Then Santorum stands in third, and he's still not showing well out west.

80% of Pierce is in.  Paul is still leading Santorum by 0.6 points.  Romney is leading Paul by 11.

I call at double variance and variance is at about .5 percent. Paul leads Santorum by .445 points, so even with calling at variance it's still TCTC.

Isn't it a little suspicious that the GOP is able to release the King County results in exactly 25% margins?

Pierce now 100% reported, and the last results were good enough for Santorum that he now trails Paul by just 178 votes statewide.

All remaining votes are now in King County, where there have been two dumps: one a modest win for Paul over Santorum, and one a Paulslide.

Isn't it a little suspicious that the GOP is able to release the King County results in exactly 25% margins?

They tallied results by LD, so my guess is they didn't have the number of precincts per LD handy, so they reported to AP "we have 4/16 LDs counted" (25%), and the AP set it to whatever number of precincts would equal 25%.

The first one was 19-19 for Paul/Santorum so it a draw. Still two dumps left.

Since it would be unseemly to wait until after all the results are in, I'm calling it for Paul.

If it holds, Santorum drops and Romney increases.

The good news for Santorum is that this is a Saturday, with other news and it probably will have limited effect on Super Tuesday.

The bad news is, it is probably reflective of momentum.

Thank you very much, and might I say..........Congratulations Politico

as Winfield and Politico give each other a cyber high five.  Cheesy

This is a great night for Washington, this is a great night for America, and this is a great night for democracy, not to mention a great night for Mitt.


What about all those Rahn Pahl votes in floating in the Columbia river?

I'm not quite ready to call it for Paul.

The first King County LDs dumped were the 1st, 31st, 47th and 48th.  The 1st and 48th are suburban districts.  The 47th is suburban and exurban.  The 31st is exurban, rural and small.

The next dump that was solidly for Paul.  We don't know which four LDs it was.  However, if Paul and Santorum were tied in an overwhelmingly suburban and exurban sample, it would be reasonable to guess that the second dump was Seattle-heavy.

If that is so, the remaining areas to report are probably in Southeastern King County, the most working-class area.  Demographically, it seems like it would be Santorum's best area of the county.  I just doubt it was heavily represented in the second dump, because it's hard to imagine it being strongly Paul over Santorum.

Of course, this is sketchy data to work with, but I'd say you can make a reasonable argument that Santorum is likelier to prevail.

To put it in perspective.

Romney's been holding serve. MI was a loss as he was choked out of any delegate advantage.

WA was another Romney state that was up for grabs that he successfully defended. Super Tuesday is his first opportunity to do some damage to the conservatives on their home front.

Winning states you are supposed to win isn't really indicative of much - especially with his weak showing here, compared with AZ.

Had this been an AZ style blowout, sure. But he still only got 36 percent in WA. That's - really not a good showing for Romney. He's still very vulnerable, and if what we are seeing is any indication - still having trouble selling himself to voters.

So it's all going to come down to Super Tuesday where the South finally gets another chance to have a say, something it hasn't had since South Carolina.

I may be crazy, but I think more King County just came in?  It's now Paul by 303, and the King County margin between Paul and Santorum looks roughly unchanged.  If there were new votes, it didn't look like 25% of the county's worth, though.

Perhaps there's nothing new and I'm going crazy.

Romney went from 15,980 to 17,000 to there were definitely some new votes added in.
