Huckabee Challenges Washington Caucus Results
FoxNews ^ | February 10, 2008 | Serafin Gomez

Posted on 02/10/2008 5:07:07 PM PST by Tennessee Nana

Mike Huckabee is challenging the results of the Washington state Republican caucuses, his campaign announced Sunday, after accusing the state party chairman of calling the election for John McCain before all the votes were counted.

The campaign will be pursuing a full investigation, including sending in lawyers to join those already on the scene in the state, officials told FOX News.

Even Senator McCain admits it’s not over, and that was BEFORE Huckabee’s 2 or 3 wins.

So what? Even if Huckabee won Washington State outright, he isn’t going to come up with enough delegates to take the nomination.

Can anybody tell me when the idea of caucuses came about? When was it established that states would have Preferential voting months before conventions?

This is a set-up if I ever saw one and I wonder at the legality.

If Huckabee picked a real great VP, I’d vote for him. I’ll never vote for McCain. McCain says he doesn’t know about economics. This is scary.

I don’t know about the background of caucuses, but taking their time to count the votes, to make sure that Huckabee won’t win his THIRD primary, is just plain cheating.

I USED to think voter fraud was only done by the liberal Dems. Now I’m beginning to think it is done by the LIBERAL Republicans, as well.

The “Reverend” Huckabee didn’t seem to mind when the WVA vote was tampered with.

No - the Paul vote is a protest vote. Not that many Republicans want to see us get our butts handed to us in Iraq, or believe that islamic fanatics aren’t a danger.

I fully expect "cheating."

Google may provide some answers. I'll think about it tomorrow - after all, tomorrow is another day. ;)

“Cunningham’s on now in EST.”

I’m listening to him now.

He just said that McCain is “ify” on some conservative issues.

“The chairman showed very bad judgment in stopping the voting last night when announcing John McCain had won, when there was less than a 200-vote margin between the two candidates,” Rollins told FOX News in an exclusive interview. “You never announce a vote, in my 40 years of politics, I have never know anybody to announce a vote count before the vote is counted.”
***This whole election cycle stinks. While they’re at it, the GOP needs to file an official complaint about how the media is affecting the election process with their biased poll results and resulting exclusion from debates based upon such biased polls.

Isn't that a little cynical. Haven't we learned anything from 2000. Computers do the tallying, not people. You'ld have to rig the software.

You don’t seem to understand.

The Washington State GOP DECLARED John McCain the winner BEFORE the votes were counted, and at that point Huckabee was only a mere 200 points behind.

As long as they don’t vote for the liar Mike “Raw Deal in West Virginia” Huckabee.
