I do not use the term 'shenanigans' lightly. Seems that Huckabee and McCain were running a close race, with the Huckster up for a while, until McCain took a slight lead with 87% of the vote counted. At that point the GOP stopped counting votes and declared McCain the winner. It always seems funny when a news network projects a winner without the final tally, but for the election officials to do it, well it stops being funny (sort of). I remember when they at least gave us the dignity of pretending to count all of the votes. That was a better time, a better America, when they cheated us with a smile.
