The story in the Washington state GOP caucus just gets weirder and weirder. Click the link to read the latest saga. Here’s a teaser:

According to Esser, sometime overnight Esser did some sort of back of the envelope statistical analysis of the the margin of McCain’s lead (1.8%) and the number votes left uncounted (13%) and decided that Huckabee didn’t have a chance and he’d shut the thing down and declare McCain the winner.

They have quotes to back that up, so it’s not creative license with the story. The state GOP chair really said he was confident in the outcome, so he decided to announce it. If I were a GOP member in WA, I’d be a little pissed off right now.
