libertangoSo, David Goldstein (aka Goldy) has gone through the paperwork, and discovered what I'd only heard mentioned as a rumor before:
"After reading the rules, reviewing the documents and analyzing the data, I am now prepared to categorically state that Sen. John McCain most certainly did not win the Washington state Republican caucus... because there was no Republican caucus, at least not as most people understand the term.
What transpired Saturday afternoon was in fact a straw poll, followed by a delegate selection process that had no direct relationship to presidential preference. Caucus attendees were asked to register at their precinct table, using a form that asks for, but does not specifically require stating one’s presidential preference."
Full details, and scanned-in copies of the forms, at the link above.
