I suspect the New Mormon Panthers. Glassy eyed dudes with night sticks in suits and ties...and there were bicycles leaning against the wall behind them.
Weird. That isn’t exactly an urban center. Sounds like Romney’s sweeping it, so who cares anyway. We’re getting our establishment candidate as designed.
Take your problems to Queen Gregoire. Now if it was a Democrat primary it’d be by mail-in ballot.
One thing is for certain, after this primary the GOP are going to look like the dirty rotten scoundrels they are.
Can’t stand Santorum but NOBODY should be turned away. Though when it gets to New Mexico, Buddy the dog should probably be turned away.
FLASHBACK:
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided
to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
The organizers had expected 2,000 attendees. They got somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,500-5,000. By state law registration had to be cut off at 10 am some 1,500+ people were turned away (and were none too happy considering how long the lines were). I hate to say it but if you snoozed, you losed (is that a word?). My wife and I got there at about 8:45 and joined our caucus group at 9:45 (that gives you some idea of how long the lines were).
The really good news for we Conservatives was the enthusiasm of the attendees, not only for their particular candidate, but also for getting The (Incompetent) One out of office. Regrettably WA is a blue state (blame the idiots who infest Seattle and environs) while Benton County is well known as Republican country. Nonetheless from what I saw today among caucus goers we have a real chance here this time around. I hope so.
Just for follow up I will provide the Benton County primary vote totals just as soon as theyn are announced.
wow. So now they are limiting the number who take part??
Is it at least a closed caucus??
