UPDATE from 36th District Caucus in Seattle, WA

[RabbitMan]

I'm at it right now, an alternate who couldn't vote. There was a lot of fighting early on as we took over with the chair and started what should be labeled a 'caucus coup'. GOP likely ran off with the bubble-sheet ballots when we took over, there was a lot of confusion over how to keep the voting legit now that the ballots that were supposed to be here vanished. Motions rose to kick our chair out after voting ended and chaos reigned, which ended with a resounding spartan-like "NAY!" during voting on the motion. Very awesome. Some guy on an oxygen tank requested for us to hurry up before he ran out of air, people rose to volunteer tanks they apparently had lying around. Very bizarre and funny.

6 hours later, looks like we took the ENTIRE slate of delegates. Congrats North Seattle, I hope we keep this up everywhere. Go Ron Paul!

EDIT: CONFIRMED. These 21 delegates are going straight to the State caucuses.

woot! I just posted a tweet on this.

That is funny, but also really nice, that people just had spare tanks of oxygen lying around to share...

More than one senior on oxygen there, and some came prepared! That is really cool!

Wow! Way to go on handling the caucus chaos - that can be very hard.

I love days when we are ON. This is one of those.

Yes! Victory! Take that, GOP! Just take it! I advise you home and cry to your mommies. Oh, what do you know, they didn't even need me -- that's exactly what they did.

WAAHHHH!!

All this delegate news is making me very happy! It's nice to see good news after all the defeatist stuff I've been seeing.

Thanks for so much for all your efforts in getting this done. Major +rep!!!!!!!

outf#ckingstanding guys. you guys in the other districts killed it. give 'em hell in Snohomish.

for a bit of reference on how significant these things are - there are 49 districts in Washington State. we are looking to do well in Spokane and down south (Vancouver area) but this area in King County sent very few delegates to State last go around. as a state we sent 4 RP delegates out of 33 or 34 last time. this time WA is sending over 40 - and a high-aiming projection is that we can get most if not all of these. then the 3 auto-delegates may or may not side with freedom as well.

Can someone tell me again how we didn't win the state's popular vote? I am supposed to believe that the other candidates somehow outnumbered ours? I struggle with that for some reason..

Guys, I am in Bothell (but the King County half of Bothell), but I have not received anything in the mail stating my delegate status (although I am CLEARLY a delegate), so I dont even know when the County or even district convention is??? What is going on here??? Please help!

for the district caucus date check here http://www.kcgop.org/calendar/

you should be receiving a "call" letter from the GOP a week or two prior to district caucus. what district are you in?

[ronpaulfollower999]

So freaking awesome.

People need to read this instead of 3rd party talk. The popular votes look depressing, but the delegate strategy appears to be working. I think so MSM jaws will be dropping in Tampa this summer.

bump because the St Charles caucus threads pushed this down so fast!
