Huckabee calls Washington Caucus results "dubious", sending lawyers

[Gabu]

Wow.

I think we can rule out any theories that Huckabee is still in this because he's gunning to be McCain's VP.

[Gabu]

Can anyone deny that Huckabee does have a legitimate grievance here? The way that was held and called was very very fishy.

What way is that?

[Gabu]

I assume they are finishing on Monday...?

Or maybe they've just decided that that extra 13% doesn't really matter.

Wouldn't put it past the WAGOP.

News is widely circulating that the Washington GOP may be burying the results because, while McCain probably received the most sign-in votes, Ron Paul may have won the most delegates.

Yes, you heard it here first:  Ron Paul may have carried the state of Washington.

I love it.

It is worth mentioning that the Washington State GOP would be a serious contender for most pathetic and incompetent state party in the entire nation.

You'd have to be a really strong contender for that in order to beat the Illinois GOP.

Actually this is one contest that the WV GOP might actually win...

The MA GOP is a total joke.

Only in the sense of not being able to win elections, not in the sense of being fully and totally incompetent and terrible on every level.

Alright I'll spell it out for you.  So say Huckabee thinks he's "gypped" in trying to win the nomination.  Because he's been "gypped" he doesn't care about "making the party machine happy," thus through his actions in staying in the race further dividing the party (hence the "screwing over")

If Huckabee actually believed there was legitimate cause for concern, would it really be better for him to just smile and accept the result?

Newt Gingrich won a delegate to the King County convention.

Things just get better and better!

Well at least Duncan Hunter was an actual candidate.

The problem, in my opinion, isn't just with the Washington Caucus results, it's with the fact that he's staying in election to begin with.  After Super Tuesday he would have to win around 80% of all the remaining delegates.....virtually impossible.  He should just accept defeat and drop out because there is no way he's ever going to win.

If he drops out, what do the Republicans who don't support him do?  I'm of the mind that giving voters a choice is never a bad thing.
