Huckabee Calls For Full Investigation Of Washington Vote
Lawyers are descending on Washington as Huckabee charges that the state’s Republican Party chairman stopped the voting early. Apparently, Huckabee may be able to get some delegates out this tactic. The Seattle Times hinted at this about 40 minutes ago:
Mike Huckabee told NBC’s “Meet the Press” he’s not ready to concede Washington state, even though the GOP has declared John McCain the winner of Saturday’s caucuses.
The former Arkansas governor said Sunday his campaign is looking into some legal issues. He didn’t offer any examples.
McCain won 26 percent of delegates, Huckabee won 24 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul finished with 21 percent, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has dropped out of the race, got 17 percent.
Democrat Barack Obama easily beat rival Hillary Clinton in Washington state.

Schmeklebee is pulling an Al Gore! Next thing we’ll hear is that he is buying a cable channel to preach his baloney.
February 10th, 2008 at 1:47 pmI find it intersting that nearly everyone on this board charges McCain to be a lib lover, yet competly writes off Huckabee even though he is the more (albeit far from a total) conservative. So hes a strong Christian… So what? Many of our early and greatest presidents were strong christians. So the fairtax is a little far fetched. The congress would still have to vote it into law. Get off your nobody is good enough for the party high horse and take the best we got. God help me I would take McCain over a dem, but I would take Huckabee over any of them. Most of his more liberal leaning ideas are still too much to the right for the libs, so they won’t pass the congress anyway so get over it.
February 10th, 2008 at 2:11 pmI’m sure he has a perfectly good reason to do this. He’s not so stupid as to just randomly say there was fraud in the election in the hopes that they’ll divvy up delegates as a settlement, is he?
February 10th, 2008 at 2:14 pmBTW, I would love to have a President who would fight tooth and nail for the FairTax. People like Rush say it’ll never happen, but that’s the reason it’ll never happen. We talk about the Dems having a defeatist attitude about Iraq. Well, we seem to have the same attitude about the fairtax, and that just doesn’t cut it.
February 10th, 2008 at 2:21 pmWell I guess the “miracle” Huck is hoping for is using the Democrat playbook–recount-after-recount!
February 10th, 2008 at 2:58 pmI just have a problem with someone throwing Jesus’ name out there constantly to get elected. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think the Almighty has any interest in being put in the middle of the United States of America’s Presidential Election in 2008. The man is a wierdo.

February 10th, 2008 at 6:45 pmMy understanding is that the Washington GOP stopped the count with only about 87% of the votes counted. At the time, McCain had 26% & Huckabee had 24%. What the percentages don’t show is that, because of the low turnout, that was only a difference of 200 votes.
Not just a weirdo, but a know-nothing weirdo. Buh-Bye …
