what is up for grabs tonight. >> 43 delegates from the state of washington. none will be awarded tonight. a nonbinding straw poll. the real value here is momentum. the last contest before super tuesday a few days away. any one who wins this will claim that they have won another vote. if it is ron paul it will be his first. he spent a lot of time in this state so he is hoping for good results. we had a poll done about two weeks ago and that poll showed rick santorum with a sizeable 11-point lead over mitt romney and gingrich and paul were third and fourth. but in the last couple of weeks that has completely flip flopped and we have had a big surge from mitt romney in the state. he now leads according to that poll by 5% head into today's vote. santorum has come back and romney has gone up and looks like ron paul as a very strong state here in the state of washington is paying off. he clearly spent the most time. organized here four years ago.
