McCain not upset with Huckabee over challenge
By Alex IsenstadtPresidential John McCain said Monday that he didn’t have problem with rival Mike Huckabee challenging the results of the Washington Republican caucus, the New York Times reports.
“Senator John McCain continued his campaign of congeniality with former Gov. Mike Huckabee today when he said that it was fine with him if Mr. Huckabee challenged the results of Saturday’s Washington State caucuses. Party officials have declared Mr. McCain the winner by several hundred votes, but the Huckabee campaign says that 1,500 votes went uncounted.
“‘He certainly has the right to challenge if he chooses to,’ Mr. McCain said at a morning news conference in Annapolis with Governor Robert Ehrlich of Maryland and other local officials. Nonetheless, Mr. McCain said that ‘it’s pretty clear that we won.’”
