So what just happened?

[Mass_Liberal]

I was out at a play. Can anyone help me out?

[frustrated_lefty]

1. Kerry solid #1

Dean, solid #2. March is looking more and more appetizing.

[Mass_Liberal]

2. crap crap crap

that sucks. Damn. Arrrgggg. Ow. GRRRRRRR.


:argh: :argh: :argh:

[aquart]

3. Tell me what it means in delegates?

[frustrated_lefty]

4. It's GOOD.

We win Wisconsin. We're showing an upswing now. We're building momentum. We're doing GOOD.

[Mass_Liberal]

7. I'm sorry

I thought we would win. And now they say Kerry has 50%? That is not good. Not that I'll give up of course.

5. DKos report quotes NPR as saying Seattle not in yet.

So there is hope yet

[I Hate Republicans]

6. I'd believe it...

This is low.

[Mass_Liberal]

9. ya

since we won Seattle, if it makes a big difference, and with so few votes in currently, it will have a big great effect.

[babzilla]

8. reporting is by precinct

Washington state has irregular population concentration.
The Seattle vote is the one that always carries the state.
Seattle precincts are yet to be reported.
Expect high Dean numbers in Seattle.

[Mass_Liberal]

YAYAYAYAY!!!!

you have given me new hope!!!! WEEEEHHEEEEEE!!!!!

[Mass_Liberal]

10. YAYAYAYAY!!!!

you have given me new hope!!!! WEEEEHHEEEEEE!!!!!

I know, I know, its a repeat. But what you said is so good, I ain't deleting it!

11. Local report....2-1 Dean over Kerry in Seattle.

There's close to a third of all delegates in Seattle.

[Mass_Liberal]

12. so how come

CNN just reported that Kerry won. Before Seattle was counted. WTF?

[joshcryer]

13. That's what I'm asking! Only 30% of the delegates are counted!

This is a horrible call unless they have some really good exit polling.

[Mass_Liberal]

14. I am so damn confused

and frustrated, and furious, and down right pissed off!!

[spooky3]

15. I'm totally confused too. Only about 8000 votes

have been posted at Yahoo! News, yet this represents over half of the precincts--and out of a population of more than 3000000 persons? Even if you assumed that only 1000000 are Democrats, wouldn't more vote? It seems strange that WA would have precincts with such vastly different sizes.

[joshcryer]

16. Delegates delegates delegates!

Not votes. :)

[Mass_Liberal]

17. ya but

Seattle hasn't been reported, and they have many of the delegates. Seattle often tips the scale.

[joshcryer]

18. I know. Which is why I'm wondering why they are calling it.

There are still several thousand delegates that have yet to be counted...

[Straight Shooter]

19. They're just following the drill, josh

Biggest reason I don't watch television: infotainment.

:puke:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

20. If the count is delegates, there are appx 26,000 delegates...

With less than 13,000 in. Seattle definately has not reported.



Edit: 26,961 delegates.
