Mon Feb 11, WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Monday challenged the results of his party's weekend caucus in Washington state, where he ran a close second to likely Republican nominee John McCain.

He said Republican party officials stopped counting with only 87 percent of the vote in. McCain was leading Huckabee by only 242 votes out of approximately 12,000 at the time, with 1,500 votes uncounted, according to the Huckabee campaign.

"We're going to demand a full accounting. We're going to see what happened ... I appears that arbitrarily the party chairman just decided that he thought he could see how it was going," Huckabee told CNN.

it does not make sense.

why would the chairman stop the count at 87% ?
Because he doesn't want Huckabee winning?

Because he doesn't want Huckabee winning?

i can hardly blame him. The thought of President Huckabee is enough to give me nightmares.

I think Huckabee, piece of crap that he is, has a point.

:eek:
LG making an insult?

Remember this is the state that has a governor in office that didn't win. The last governors race had the Republican winning after two recounts. The Democrats pushed for a third recount and somehow they "found" hundreds more votes for the Democrat. Third time is a charm I guess. Seems the Democrats voting fraud virus may have been picked up by the Republicans this time.

Huckabee merits it.

Is it an insult if it's true? Because I honestly believe that he is composed of feces. *nod*

I think Huckabee, piece of crap that he is, has a point.

I do agree that he has a point, and that every vote should be counted. However, I reserve the right to think that he's a member of the Religious Reich and an all around piece of what comes out of my cat's ass. And her crap stinks.

This is the latest from the Republicans website as a percentage goes.

Ah but is it true? In the philosophical context i could say it isn't.
As i know little of Huckabee, he might not really exist, therefore how can any statement made about him be universally true?
Oh and i hope the US gets a good president, what date is the next one supposed to take office?
