Huckabee’s Washington loss: God’s fault
What has been a strange and religious (strangious?) campaign already, just took what might be the most ironic turn yet: church services led to the Washington state GOP calling the primary for McCain. Huckabee lost because of church!?! Et tu Jesus?
Of course, as it turns out Huckabee did not take the lead even after the recount (where have we heard that before), but the election was called seemingly early because the Washington state Republican party volunteers had to get up and go to church in the morning.
Party chairman Luke Esser explained today that the state GOP is “a volunteer organization and that our volunteers do need to get some sleep, and most of them want to be fresh and alert for Sunday church services.”

The recount to which you refer (Florida, 2000), was not completed by order of the Supreme Court, 5 Republicans to 4 Democrats.
Hey, Louis: the Florida 2000 recount was completed twice. TWICE. The Supreme Court ordered that a THIRD hand recount, using differing and highly subjected standards, in districts cherry-picked by the Gore campaign, could not proceed. I'm sure you will simply ignore these easily verifiable and highly publicized facts, because that's what people like you do.
David Souter is a Republican, huh? Who knew?
Dumbass.
Typical Republican mindless drooling. Your final epithet disqualifies you from consideration by civilized people.
btw: Souter was appointed by a Republican.

Hey Renquist, that is not what I recall from the records posted by the US Supreme court and the papers filed on behalf of both the Gore and Bush Campaigns.
Before you go spouting off rhetoric, cite the sources. Otherwise, you comment just comes off as mindless rhetoric regardless of your political persuasion.

Louis, this type of mindless rhetoric is commonplace on both sides of the political spectrum. I seem to remember running into "Obamamama" drooling by Obama supporters too. This is what happens when emotions run high and a general lack of ability to critically analyze what is going on without blind party or partisan loyalty. Very unfortunate, but it is reality in an election year.

Silver,
Your comment to me may have some general application, but not when some unknown person attacks with the epithet "dumbass." He has forfeited his right to rational consideration.
Why does every argument from a Liberal morph into a new subject? We are going to replay the 2000 election now? Maybe we should revisit that Illnois and Texas vote in 1960, hmmmm?
what? name calling? shameless. hehehe.
For your information, it was brought up first by Aaron. I merely commented. Why does every conversation with a conservative devolve into false charges and stupid sarcasm?
Wikipedia entry on 2000 Election [emphasis mine]
Recounts, several in fact, were done. The only type of recounts that would have given the election to Gore were counted votes that could not be legally counted – under votes, in which no chad (oh, that word) was punched out, or over votes, where two or more candidates had been voted for on the same ballot. The Supreme Court ruled that Florida could not continue recounting the votes because it had passed the required time for the state to certify the election.
But none of this is here or there, I just thought the idea of church attendance potentially costing Huckabee an election was ironic in the most extreme way.
