Here's the CNN story and the clergyman's feisty comments:
CNN) — Mike Huckabee continued to cry foul Monday over the results in Saturday’s Washington State GOP caucuses, saying the state party chairman's decision to call the race there early for John McCain is reminiscent of elections in communist bloc nations.
"That is not what we do in American elections," Huckabee said on CNN's American Morning Monday. "Maybe that's how they used to conduct it in the old Soviet Union, but you don't just throw people's votes out and say, 'well, we're not going to bother counting them because we kind of think we know where this was going.'
In a statement released Sunday, Huckabee's campaign said Washington's GOP Party Chairman Luke Esser called the race for McCain when Huckabee was only losing to the Arizona senator by 242 votes and over 1,500 votes remained to be counted. Esser has said he remains confident he made the right call.
Speaking on CNN, Huckabee said the campaign has sent lawyers to the state to formally challenge the result.
"I was just stunned," Huckabee said. "It's the kind of thing that Republicans across America, not just in Washington State, ought to be outraged over."
Wow! The Huckster is 'shuckin the corn' as preacher-boys say in the deep south.
My only word to Mr. Mike is, "welcome to the world of Ron Paul! You should have picked up on the reality that you were being shuffled off the stage when you were put at the far end of the table in the CNN California debate - remember when you used be center stage? How did it feel to be a bookend? Oh, and to not be included in the debate - that might have been your first clue, Mike, that you had served your purpose and it was time to move on. You say it is literally 'the establishment' that has cheated you in favor of John McCain? Oh, my. Now you are solidly in the world of Ron Paul, who has been the victim of documented outright vote suppression and fraud in New Hampshire, New York, and Louisiana. You mentioned, Mike, that all Republicans everywhere should be outraged. We agree. But we have to say, we didn't hear any outrage from you when it was the other guy being cheated."
