WHO won in Washington State?
No one yet. They have a primary for 1/2 the delegates next week and a state convention for the other 1/2 of the delgates in May. Saturday was just a big old straw poll.
“RICHMOND, VA. — All day, Mike Huckabee’s campaign has been trying to learn about how the final 13 percent of the votes in the Washington state Republican caucuses would be counted. As of this afternoon, only 87 percent of the votes have been counted and CBS News has deemed the state too close to call.”

“I think it literally took away from our momentum…Going to the primaries here, EVERTHING IS ABOUT MOMENTUM (emphasis mine), so we are very disturbed by it.”

So you see, it is about MOMENTUM. THAT is why McCain has done as well as he has. The early states, where Independents and Dems could vote, gave McCain MOMENTUM.
Washington State RINOs wanted to make sure that Huckabee only won TWO out of THREE states, rather than THREE out of THREE, because they knew that it would give Huckabee MOMENTUM.
Hope that helps.
