I think we should challenge the upcoming election before it ever happens. If we’re lucky, it and all of the candidates will be thrown out, and we can all start over from “GO” and maybe come up with SOMEBODY who can run the country.
Does the Huckabee campaign actually not know how the Washington State Caucus and Convention process work?
Absolutely NO official ballots were cast for ANY presidential candidate.
The so-called “results” that are being reported are the VOLUNTARY reported leanings of the delegates that were elected to their respective County Conventions.
It is un-official, not guaranteed and only for the purposes of getting a “feel” of the presidential “leanings” of delegates.
No delegates will be assigned to the National Convention (or a candidate) until the State Convention in May.
The Delegates (to the County Conventions) that were elected yesterday ARE official WHEN they ALL have passed through each Counties Credentials Committee. They ARE NOT presidential delegates and can change their mind, not show up or not get elected to the State Convention.
I think Huckabee is mad because his grassroots did not turn out enough folks to elect Huckabee leaning delegates to the County Convention.
BTW - no County was REQUIRED to report their Delegate Presidential Preference to the State Party. There is NO rule in the Party by-laws and some may choose NOT to report.
BUMP!
If this were Hillary Clinton and George Washington, and they called the election before they finished counting the votes and just announced that Washington won, I would support Clinton in demanding that all votes be counted.
And so would Washington. And Jefferson. And Adams. And Reagan. etc.
There are opportunities out there, macaca moments, that Huckabee, by remaining at the table, can capitalize on. Even the appearance of shenanigans in Wash. creates the perception that the deck is stacked in favor of McCain, but also creates a story that keeps Huck's name in the news.
Stay in the race, Huck, you are doing your party and the country an invaluable service.
I noticed that Huckabee is behind delgates votes from Romney. This must be bugging him since Romney has pulled out. Is it possible that he just wants to at least beat Romney???
I was a Romney guy and because of the way Huckabee accosted Mitt by class warfare, disingenious "questions" about his religion, the WV deal I....in no way agree with what has transpired as reported (gotcha-thought I was gonna defend this, right)
Fair is fair and if I (and others) do not give fair treatment to those we oppose then we can never expect fair treatment applied to us.
I do not like Huckabee - he comes across as a dishonest televangelist and really told some whoppers (the "no negative ad" news conference being a low point) and find it amusing that he is at least portraying himself as going all the way to the convention but fair is fair.
I'm now going to investigate a little bit more.
That was exactly what happened.They need to change the rules so it doen’t happen again.
vaudine
Huckster WELCOME to the big league. HA
None of this matters much right now. When martial law is declared BEFORE November 4th, what do you think will happen? Flowers and incense from Hope, Arkansas? Hang on to your wallets, folks. It’s gonna be a rough ride. Call me a weirdo, but don’t knock on my door looking for a handout.
“Sounds like something a Dem would do”
that’s our mclame!!
1. Crime
2. Corruption
3. Sexual perversion
4. Public defaecation
5. Public urination
6. High levels of venerial disease
7. Really bad coffee!!!!
Did I leave anything out?
If Huckabee had lost two primaries yesterday instead of win two primaries, one of which was by INCREDIBLE margin, maybe the biggest loss that has ever hit a presumptive nominee upside the head, then Huckabbee looks a whiner, whining about something which is absolutely meaningless, but the fact he has turned the tables making McCain look like such an impotent presumptive nominee that he is having to have the political establishment play tricks to come away with a win and save a little face by not being on the wrong end of a shutout.
ummmmmm, it's a nice, round number???? It ~~looks~~ clean.
If you’re trying to talk sense into a mclame pusher, you might as well bang your head against a brick wall!
