How can you call a race that close when you don't have all the votes in and there is only a 2% difference between McCain and Huckabee and there are still either 13% or 29% still uncounted depending on your math? I smell dirty politics.</description></item><item><title>Huckabee contests WA results</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/10/653789.aspx#653893</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2008 23:48:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:653893</guid><dc:creator>Carolyn Crouse...Reeds Spring, MO</dc:creator><description>I am a republican and I agree, that each canidate be treated fairly, and I believe that Huckabee, should be the next president with all his honesty. &amp;nbsp;He has not slung any mud, like all the other canidates has. &amp;nbsp;He is a Christian with good morales.</description></item><item><title>Huckabee contests WA results</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/10/653789.aspx#653895</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2008 23:49:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:653895</guid><dc:creator>John Doe, Seattle, Wash</dc:creator><description>Rediculus.

I don't care if you are Huckabee, McCain, or even Ron Paul, each vote needs to be counted carefully and if the votes are close at all, there should not be a winner called until all precincts have reported. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is either unresponsible on the part of Esser or pure blatant support for McCain, either way, it is unacceptable.</description></item><item><title>Huckabee contests WA results</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/10/653789.aspx#655271</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Feb 2008 16:53:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:655271</guid><dc:creator>Andrew, Oklahoma City, OK</dc:creator><description>Huckabee conspired with McCain in West Virginia to steal the states delegates from Romney.
