Update (8:35 ET) It appears Mitt Romney will easily win the Washington caucus. With almost 50% of the vote in, he seems to have an insurmountable lead with just over 37% of the vote. The real battle will be for second, where Ron Paul has a slight lead over Santorum and both have around 24% of the vote. But it won't matter. Another opportunity for Santorum to gain some positive coverage before Super Tuesday appears to have slipped through his fingers.

With the probable win, Romney will now have won 5 straight nominating contests and 8 out of 12 overall. Newt Gingrich, who was unable to recover from a humiliating Florida loss, will finish dead last in fourth place again. This will mark the seventh time in twelve contests that Gingrich will finish behind Ron Paul.

Update (6:30 ET): Results are starting to roll in. There are reports of very strong turnout and a strong showing by Ron Paul supporters. With about 10% of the vote in, reports have Romney in the lead with Paul following close behind and Santorum in third.

As attention is being focused on the upcoming Super Tuesday contests, a Saturday warm-up caucus event in Washington is flying mostly under the radar. Washington has a total of 43 delegates up for grabs, which is actually the second largest haul so far.

The event is expected to be competitive and the winner could receive a big boost heading into Super Tuesday. For Mitt Romney, the goal is to build on his current winning streak (four states, seven wins overall). A win might not help him much as far as the Tuesday events are concerned, but it would continue the "inevitability" theme and not dampen any momentum.

A loss for Romney, however, is always big news even when the contests are mostly ignored beforehand. A Rick Santorum win in Washington would get far more headlines and talk of a major resurgence would once again resurface. The media hype surrounding such a win could actually turn a few close races in Santorum's favor on Tuesday.

Polling has been scarce, but one post-Michigan poll by Public Policy Polling shows Romney leading Santorum 37-32% with Ron Paul a distant third. The Washington momentum seems to favor Romney and he has held rallies there with enthusiastic turnout.
