Washington: Huckabee Not Going Down Without a Fight

Well, our newest site has come online, so everyone flock over to PolitickerWA for the latest happenings on Saturday's caucus.

Mike Huckabee, the Arkansas upstart that has managed to outlast both Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani, is challenging the election results of the Washington State Republican Party.

Here's a quote from a Huckabee statement obtained by PolitickerWA:

The Huckabee campaign is deeply disturbed by the obvious irregularities in the Washington State Republican precinct caucuses. It is very unfortunate that the Washington State Party Chairman, Luke Esser, chose to call the race for John McCain after only 87 percent of the vote was counted. According to CNN, the difference between Senator McCain and Governor Huckabee is a mere 242 votes, out of more than 12,000 votes counted-with another 1500 or so votes, apparently, not counted. That is an outrage.

Cartoonwise, I have Chuck Norris kicking some Republican ass, but I was also going to include Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair, since most people probably forgot that he pledged his support to Mike Huckabee. My editors thought it was too much, so I scaled it back a bit, but here's Ric Flair as he would've appeared:



Here's a video of Flair on the campaign trail with Huckabee:



And here's some classic Flair:

"Whooooooooo!” - The Nature Boy endorses Huckabee

On the heels of his Chuck Norris endorsement, CNN is reporting that Mike huckabee has just landed another important endorsement...The Nature Boy Ric Flair!

Here's a quote from Political Intelligence, a blog by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor at The Boston Globe:

"It's a tremendous honor to offer my support to such an outstanding leader as Mike Huckabee. His authentic conservative qualifications and level of executive leadership experience are unmatched by his opponents."

"And like I always say, to be the man, you've got to beat the man and Mike Huckabee is the man. Whoooooooo!"

Here is Huckabee's Chuck Norris commercial:
