Washington Caucus Results

Washington state had huge Democrat caucuses yesterday (possibly double the number of people showed up compared to 2004), and gave it to Obama by a 2 to 1 margin. The Republican caucuses had much lower turnout, and gave it to McCain, with only 25% of the vote (which is not very strong support for the presumptive nominee in a narrow field). Huckabee got about 24%, Ron Paul got about 21%, Romney about 17% (even though his campaign is on hold), which leaves 13% for "uncommitted".

I have heard what seven people did yesterday.
Four did not go.

One voted at a Republican caucus.
One went to a Democrat caucus and was "thoroughly bummed out by the experience."
Another one went to a Democart caucus and walked out before voting.

It is all over for Democrats, but Republicans are holding a primary on Feb. 19 to select the other half of their delegates. Strange, eh?
