- Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was upset last week when John McCain was declared the winner of the Washington State Republican Caucus and counting of the votes was halted before 100% of the precincts had been counted. After receiving complaints the Washington Republican Chairman Luke Esser had counting resume on February 10, 2008.
- The results showed John McCain winning with 26% of the vote compared to Mike Huckabee's 24% and Ron Paul's 22% with 96% of precincts reporting.
- John McCain and Mike Huckabee were only separated by 293 votes.
- Washington is one of the few states to hold both a caucus and a primary. As a result Mike Huckabee will get a second chance to have all of the votes counted with the February 19, 2008 primary.
