Better Math Needed In Washington State

So on the Democratic side, Obama had another big win in Washington. On the Republican side ... well hmm, looks like we're still waiting?

Apparently, the most recent results we can get are 87% reporting. You have to wonder if maybe those poor Republicans cant actually count up to 100.
Here are the latest totals as of Monday afternoon EST for Republicans:

McCain 3,468 26%
Huckabee 3,226 24%
Paul 2,799 21%
Romney 2,253 16%
Uncommitted 1,729 13%

So McCain is up over Huckabee by a whole 242 votes. Kind of seems like it might be worth counting those ballots. Not if you're Republican Party Chairman Luke Esser though! Nope, Mr. Esser felt that 87% was good enough and called the race for McCain. Really! Now Mr. Esser is open to trying to finish the job, but it looks really hard. So, you know the "Republican Party was going to try to get as "close as we can to 100 percent" in the vote count." Don't strain yourself man!

Much more on this here.
