ZimZam Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I will Vote for Colin Powel in the primary and I will vote the Only Reasonable party for in the General election, the GOP. I WILL NOT VOTE SOCIALIST! You guy lost to the war, or did you forget that? Yes, I think it will be McCain, and yes, as McCain moves to the center it will push Billery or the Obama-nation to the left. Thus insuing another 4 years of repubican mandates! Obama can NOT win. The first Black president with be a republican. Hey woofsalot! Seems your man is most likely gonna vote for Bro. Obama. http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/02/could_obama_be_colin_powells_c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 43 O to 6 H, but H still got 1 of the 4 delegates due to fuzzy math used to determine the end count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wow! People were streaming out of the neighborhoods to go caucus. Very exciting. I thought our precinct was heavily Obama (4 to Clinton's 2 delegates), but looks like we were heavily Clinton compared to other places. A bit of drama when the party organizer person started getting super bitter and being a jerk to people when it was clear that a bunch of people didn't want Clinton. One guy was all for Clinton and gave an impassioned speech, but he brought his kids with him and they were all pro-Obama for some reason. There's some kids who's parents obviously allowed them to be free thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylou Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The great thing about the semi-bogus primary system is that those of us who couldn't go caucus (hadda work!) have a second chance on Tuesday. Go to your primary and vote for Huckabee. Hey how do you think the Rs ended up with Ellen Craswell as their candidate for governor some years ago? I have a feeling I wasn't the only Democrat willing to "help" pick a candidate we could crush in the General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The organization at our caucus was rather poor and the woman who ran our particular precinct meeting (there were several precincts in the same church) was a rather unpleasant individual. 5 Obama delegates and 3 for Clinton. It was good to see a lot our neighbors there, but I had hoped for a better opportunity for some discussion - we may as well simply have signed up to indicate our choice and left.

Do you understand that by voting for a member of a party you don't support in the primary, you are violating a signed oath? Is that important to you? Please--pick a party in the primary and uphold your oath. And grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMcJizzy Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 My caucus was 5 to 2 for Obama. We had a little fun when the math started, and even the "math" teacher in our group didn't know the scientific method of rounding. What I thought was realty cool, was that my 79 year old dad went to the Democratic caucus to support Obama. The last Democrat he voted for for the Presidency was JFK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluka Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 My precinct went for Obama as well. I have to admit to being fairly disappointed in the way the process worked at my precinct. It was so disorganized that by the time they did the initial tally and delegate count they only had time for a few comments from supporters of each candidate before moving on to other business like fundraising and choosing the representatives to later parts of the caucus process. A friend said it similar at her place. If there's not going to be ample time to allow discussion and opportunities to sway people's minds, let's just go with a primary and scrap the caucus.

tvashtarkatena Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) I talked with 10 precincts, including my own. Every one of them went 4 to 1 Obama/Clinton. We had 1 undecided delegate's worth of voters in our precinct. After a 1 minute speech by the Obama and Clinton camp (true to form, Obama's was off the cuff and straight from the heart, Clinton's was a pre-prepared presentation literally read off a lap top, complete with "wait a minute, I've gotta go to the next page", followed by about 10 minutes of rebuttals/discussion. Every undecided voter went for Obama. The A.P. projects Clinton's lead over Obama slipping from 171 to 57.

Bigtree Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Porter, explain to me please why your presidential farm team is so apparently shallow in the land of 300 million + that you guys can't seem to get past the Bush's and the Clinton's? Is it some kind of weird throwback to your colonial ties to Britain or just plain old pathological illness. Not that our bench is that deep to the north with a 10th of population, but I expect more from our cousin's and frankly you're scaring me.

No, genius, you have to agree not to participate in the other party's nominating process in order to vote. For one election cycle only. Since I was unable to attend the caucuses, it's completely within my rights to vote for anyone from either party in the Primary. De oaf: Republican: I declare that I am a member of the Republican party and I have not participated and will not participate in the 2008 precinct caucus or convention system of any other party.

Bush II is out the door, and while there has been some talk of Jeb running, something tells me a candidate with the last name of Bush will not be winning again in my life time.

Allison, as usual you are less than enlightened: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/2008/WAsCaucusesandPrimaries.pdf The "nominating process" includes the primary. It is not limited to the caucuses. Please read and comprehend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
