Patience.

It takes time for them to white out all the Ron Paul support signatures.

I'd rather wait a couple of hours and get a pure delegate count than get a worthless straw poll count immediately.

....as long as no funny business is going on (which is probably isn't :D).

Yup.


WTF?

First its 7pm, then 8PM ?


Hey can somebody just shoot up a BIG RED WHITE AND BLUE FLARE Over on the East Coast so we all know RP won?

Probably in full-scale panic mode about Paul winning. Trying to figure out how to rig delegate wins, which is impossible to do.
That is what is great about this. The Delegates know they won before the official tally, so it is impossible to back-room fix things.

That's great news! Everytime they report late it's because Ron Paul is leading!

well let me tell you the locations were horrible and it took them longer to mobilize, so the GOP let a lot of pooled caucus locations go over the designated hours. that is why there are delays.

According to the Associated Press: "Turnout was lighter at Republican caucuses with Arizona Sen. John McCain carrying a commanding national lead over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee."

Well, obviously, Paul got the most votes, but he just dropped out, remember? :p

Just a thought...

Is it not a good way of keeping the news out of the general public's minds?

It is Saturday night, people are going out, so they miss the "major" TV coverage. Then they get up in the morning and their paper doesn't have much if anything on it anyway.

Like I said, just a thought.

Man, I can't help but think they are rigging this crap to push us down to 2nd or lower. I'm highly suspicious of delays. I so hope you other guys are right about the reason for delay.

This sadly would be in keeping with past trends, but showing RP in the 20's. I hope he beats Huckabee at least!
