  • In the parking lot waiting for things to open up. McDonalds breakfast. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • OK, going in. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • I am now the "temporary chair" of my precinct because I am the first to show up from Ruggs Lake precinct. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Registered my straw poll preference for Ron Paul on the sign up sheet. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • The table designated for Ruggs Lake has room for about six people. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44ru #
  • There is a table with Ron Paul people giving out swag. No other candidate with visible presence. Got some swag. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • 30 minutes after doors open. 30 minutes until event starts. I am still the only one at the Ruggs Lake table. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Most people appear to be staying for the actual caucus rather than leaving after they vote in the straw poll. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Slight drama as someone fell off their chair and hit his head on a bench. A bunch of us ran over. He is fine. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Cell coverage sucks in here. Have to stand up and walk around to get tweet out reliably. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @DaPlaneBoss @RonPaul glad you are enjoying them! :-) #
  • @DaPlaneBoss Yes. Gray hair. #
  • 15 minutes out. Getting more crowded and noisy. Still the only one from Ruggs Lake. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • I ran to get something from car, took packet with me to make sure not lost. Concerned people. But I came back. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Still only one at Ruggs Lake table. Maybe I should have brought a pen. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Of course what I wanted from my car isn't in my bag after all. I may have to go back out. But I will wait. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Room getting quite full. 1 m until it is supposed to start. Still only one at table. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • There are still people in line to get signed in, so they are waiting a few minutes to start. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Reading packet to know what I have to do if I am the only person from my precinct. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Filling out surveys on how I feel about various issues, etc. Still only person for Ruggs Lake. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Pledge of allegiance. We have started. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Looks like I *am* Ruggs Lake. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #

  • @RQDammit I'm at the caucuses. Woo! #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Ruggs Lake votes in three delegates to county . 2 Santorum, 1 Paul (me). #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • The other two from my precinct were a nice couple. Very friendly. They liked Santorum. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • The other two from Ruggs Lake left. Our precinct caucus is over. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • The bigger precincts are still going through multiple rounds of voting to select delegates. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @osbournequinn They have not reported results from the straw poll yet. Waiting to see if they do. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • My precinct, Ruggs Lake, elected 2 dels to county caucus that support Santorum, and 1 (me) that supports Paul. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Lots of people leaving. Don't know if they will reconvene the whole group to give straw poll results. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @seifert5 Best Republican still in the race. Reserving thoughts on November for November. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @osbournequinn Will be good to see what he (and Rand) end up doing as time goes on. :-) #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Confirmed with chair that the whole group will not reconvene and no straw poll results will be reported here. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Still a bunch of precincts doing their thing. But probably 2/3 of people who were here gone now. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • The 4th person from Ruggs Lake who did the straw poll but didn't stay for the caucus didn't actually "vote". #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @hurricaneoasis Saw the del tally for my precinct. Just the meaningless straw poll they are not counting yet. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @seifert5 Don't know reason. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Sticking around longer just to see if anything random happens. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @hurricaneoasis Yes, I know. Affects media narrative, which in turn affects future contests. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • @hurricaneoasis Uh, effects. Darn iPhone. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Guesstimate on total attendance at this site: About 200. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #

  • I think only 1 precinct is still doing anything. Bunch of other people just milling around. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • 26 people signed Ron Paul supporter sheet at Ron Paul table. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • That would be somewhere between 10% and 17% for Paul based on my total attendance est. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • I think everyone is done. Chairs are being put away. A few people still milling and talking in small groups. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • Someone asked on counting. Told ballots are not counted here. Straw poll signups go to county to get counted. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
  • At county there are counting observers from the campaigns. Folks who want are free to also go there to observe. #wacaucus #ruggslake #ld44 #
