I was just at the CNN site and with 49% reporting there seems to be less than 2000 republican voters. I guess DC is strictly Democrat territory.
Where are the Republicans

There are no republicans living in DC.
I do not consider myself a Republican, my gf and I are 2 of the 437 people in DC who voted for Paul in the entire city of Washington.
It's kinda sad

I think in DC, the Libertarians are stronger than the Republicans. Last Election, Bush got like 5% of the vote.

I really don't know what to make of that.
O well, now that I've voted, it's time to go change my party affiliation to independent.

That's not true at all. There are about 30,000 Republicans on the voter rolls in DC. However, in practice probably one half to two-thirds of those are wrong (no longer in DC, etc.); it's difficult to get someone off the rolls here. The R registration has gone up consecutively each month for many months.
The DC LP is not a recognized "major party" in DC so it's registration numbers are not officially kept, but I understand that there are about 700 LPers in DC.
Interesting though, according to a speaker at the press conference Monday, the DC Statehood Green Party got more total votes for all offices than the Republicans did in the last (few?) elections, so I guess that does make the DC GOP a third party here!

Huckabee was able to mobilize his church base, including some black churches. To their credit, the campaign made a great and vigorous outreach program to them.

Well, they get a ton less votes, I should have noted that I thought that it was possible.
But what would you expect coming out of the Federal Leviathan?
