For me its not being sold on Huckabee, but sending a message about McCain. Voting for the candidate you believe best fits your position on issues may make you feel good, but won’t mean a thing from now on. If you are satisfied with McCain, then fine, vote your conscience. If you want to send a message, vote for whoever has a chance to beat him in your state, even someone you would not vote for otherwise.

With 13 precincts at my caucus in CLark COunty, he placed second to huckleberry, but ahead of McPain. Romney and Hunter split 13 votes in the straw poll.

If memory recalls, Huckabee received 32, Paul 28, McCain 23, Romney 10, Hunter 3.

I had to contend with Paulistinians, but had none present in my precinct.

It’s so hard not to get nasty with those people ;-)

he’s a social conservative. And a foreign policy conservative. And a fiscal moderate (from his record).

These election results are crap. Just crap. We were not told whether our voting for the volunteer delegates (who can then change who they represent) or the person we wrote on the sign-in sheet was the final results, so how can whatever it is that is being reported be a true reporting of the wishes of the electorate?

This is a bunch of CRAP!

Welcome to the wonderful world of electoral politics, Washington state style. Our Proud Motto: "Thank you, sir, may I have another...?" ;)

pretty embarassing if McCain loses to Huckabee in Washington

Huckabee didn't even go to Washington-or Louisiana- in Kansas he went and cleaned McCain's clock. The pro-Huckabee-anti McCain combination is a lethal dose of popular resentment toward the status quo and the MSM's hand picked nominee. When Huckabee wins Virginia McCain self-implodes and reality sets in for the party big-wigs.

Momentum is growing. Huckabee had his biggest day of contributions yesterday. The people don't want McCain.

LOL

Say what you will about the Ron Paul people...they have had remarkable organization despite being on the fringe. And probably have had the most effective campaign as far as number of dollars per vote of anyone in either party.

no ... but this maybe helps holding McCain ego in check (and his feet to the fire).

I would like to see Huckabee do well on Tuesday ... Virginia and Maryland ... and I think somewhere else. That would be impressive for Huckabee if he could do well in those states.

Huckabee probably won’t do well in states like Ohio and PA which will swing alot of delegates McCain’s way.

Virginia and Maryland is probably Huckabee last chance at a hurrah ... and for conservative to register a protest vote that may register with McCain.

McCain biggest problem in November will be himself.
