1. I'm kind of flabbergasted that McCain is getting his money's worth out

in Washington, not really notable as a frothing fundie stronghold.

And he's already got whomped elsewhere this evening.

Bad night for the Warmonger.

3. Washington has got more than it's fair share of very affluent fundies

Particularly east of Seattle in Bellevue.

Couple of big super churches in the region.

4. Uh-oh. I hate to see those mega-churches springing up all over the

place.

2. It looks like McCain is going to pull out a victory in WA

Assuming most of the outstanding vote is in the cities, which seem more likely to vote for McCain than Huckabee. But I'm loving that the vote is this close. It would be great to see Huckabee keep the Repug nomination an actual contest. If most of the conservatives actually get behind Huckabee, that's exactly what could happen.

5. Yes. I'm looking at the Seattle POST-INTELLIGENCER page:

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/

showing McCain up by only 195 votes.

Does anybody know if that's the most current count?
