I'm heading out to caucus in about a half hour. Does anyone know if CNN is covering the caucus or anything?

My precinct is 2 santorum 2 Paul 1 Gingrich. Lots of Paul and santorum presence. I have not seen any Romney support at all.

Is that the number of delegates or the actual people there?

People. We haven't done delegates yet. We have two delegates so it'll probably 1-1 santorum and Paul.

Unofficial results of the combined caucus at the school I was at: 96 santorum, 89 Romney, 68 Paul, 36 Gingrich. Those are straw poll numbers. I am one of the two delegates for my precinct.

Is this Snohomish County or Cheney?

Overwhelming turn out for...Mitt Romney? I guess there really is a first for everything.

He was the only one at my location without a single sign or anything. I saw no organization whatsoever for Romney and he got booed a ton when they were going through the question phase, yet somehow he got a narrow second at my location.

Santorum had by far the most signs, while Paul had by far the most "coordinators".

If Santorum doesn't win, I'd much rather Paul did than Romney.

I haven't seen Uncommitted totals reported much so far, although that might explain the cryptic "Yacl" on the right end of the Whitman County paper.

It's "Und" for Undecided.

Twitter feed is now filling up with Ron Paul stolen election complaints.

Well, when you turn away 1000 people, you're gonna piss a lot of people off.  Though from a statistical standpoint, the distribution of the 1000 would hypothetically be the same as for the 2000 people that got in... hypothetically.

I haven't seen any evidence that the turning 1000 people away hurt Paul any more than anyone else. I doubt Paul wins in Kennewick anyway.

We're getting reports of delegates from some areas, and actual voters from others. I'm guessing that explains much of the discrepancy.

That was a problem last time too.

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

Do we have a feature on the site where you can do county map generation, or do you still have to do it with Paint/some other image editor?

Paint, unfortunately.

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^ It's possible some of the numbers are out of date...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?


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

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.

Pretty sure Klickitat was Paul country.
