Will Mari and Charles Cadwallader hang tight at the GOP HQ:

We have heard from Pierce County, and with 83.1% total votes in, we have new numbers:

McCain 25.6% (3239 delegates)

Huckabee 23.8% (3010 delegates)

Paul 21% (2655 delegates)

Romney 16.3% (2055 delegates)

Unocommited 12.2% (1545 delegates)

Other 1% (132 delegates)

“We still haven’t heard anything from Benton County and the Tri-cities.” Eller said. “But we’re still hopeful to get into the high 80%’s before the night is through.”

Eller commented about the Fox News headline that said the Republicans had suspended counting for the night, “We are not done counting, we still expect to have more numbers from Benton and King counties.”

“As soon as we get any meaningful numbers, we’ll tell you,” said Eller.
