It’s not silly. You put out a fire as soon as you can. You don’t wait until the building burns down. Today it’s Huckabee and Ron Paul’s votes that aren’t counted. Soon it could be Hillary....”13% of the counties (or states) are still out but she is ahead, people are tired so we just called it for her”.
This is a straw poll. No delegates have been selected yet. So it is still McCain 0 and Huckabee 0 in the Washington State delegate county.
Problem for Huck now is that he has likened all the folks who work at the precinct level as “Soviet-like”. Do you think that they will want to vote for a Huck delegate to the national convention after this?
