West Virginia Intrigue
05 Feb 2008 01:42 pm
After the first round of balloting in West Virginia, Mitt Romney was solidly in the lead with 41% of the votes, followed by Mike Huckabee with 33% and John McCain with 16%.
Since 50% is needed to win all 18 delegates, a second balloting is underway.
But sources say that representatives for John McCain called many of his reps in WV and asked them to vote for Huckabee...in order to thwart Romney on the second ballot.
“Don’t buy another vote, I won’t pay for a landslide.”

AP calls WV for Huckabee w/ 51%
Seems to be working according to the posting on “The Corner”. Sure makes you wonder what McCain is promising Huckabee. Wonder if he’ll live up to it!
