Yes, that same Washington state that held a caucus about a couple weeks ago.

1. The caucus decided the delegates. This really only counts for the Republicans.

3. Yeah, i know it doesn't count, but still a lot of people will vote...
...WA did this because they wanted more of a say in the selection process, but the state party decided the results wouldn't matter....my point is this whole process is fucked up.

2. This is so weird.
I live a half a mile from WA and didn't know, until yesterday, that they were having a primary today.

Should be interesting. I've no idea what the results will be.

6. No, it's a DEM primary as well...means squat even though the voters
voted to have a primary instead of a caucus and the state Dem party decided to go the caucus route.

7. Yes, and when Hillary loses by less than 30 points she'll say, SEE
I told you caucuses were unfair. And then she'll build it into her false hopes argument that Obama's pledged delegate numbers should be discounted because they don't reflect the will of the people.

Charming candidate you have there, JoeyBee.

12. It's tomorrow...my mistake...but the weird thing is they're going ahead
with it after the caucuses. The voters voted for it, so they have to even though the Dem party hasn't recognized this and is only going with the caucus reults.
