Clean Sweep and Something Stinks in Washington

Obama rakes in a clean sweep of weekend primaries and caucuses by winning Maine's caucus on Sunday. With shakeups at Camp Hillary, this week looks to be a favorable one for BO as well. Heading in to Tuesday, Obama could very well sweep the Potomac Primary -- Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. But never count Hillary out. It's still too early.

Something extremely fishy though is brewing up on the GOP side of things. It appears Mike Huckabee isn't going to relinquish Washington state just yet, and rightfully so I might add. With McCain up by 242 votes and with over 1500 votes left to count, the state GOP pulled the plug on finishing up the tallies and called the race for McCain. And no I'm not making this up. An election that is within 1.8% and the voting is stopped and McCain is called the winner? Very fishy indeed. What's more is it's really hard to find any MSM coverage of it either. Fox alluded to it some last night but did so in a way as to make Huck a conspiracy theorist. But the truth is there were over 1500 ballots left to count and the GOP pulled the plug and called it for McCain. According to the state GOP chairman, the final results will be announced sometime today, maybe. If I was Huck I would have every lawyer I could muster up camped out in Seattle. I mean it's not something new for the GOP to not want every vote counted.
