- Romney - 41%
- Huckabee - 33%
- McCain - 16%
- Paul - 10%
West Virginia is winner-take-all, so Romney gets 18 delegates out of the deal.
One down, 20 to go!
“I read a WV newspaper (online) article that there is movement afoot for the McCain folks to move to Huckabee to deny Romney the win. Hope it isn’t true.”
McCain gives ManCrush a reacharound.
People are taking too short term outlook on this situation. Huckster and McCain may have outsmarted themselves and here is how..........If Huck can pull a few upsets in the south, win Ga, Ala, Ark, and maybe another ofdd state of two, and Romney can pull off Ca and Mass, along with Mont and another state of two, McCain’s coronation tonight will not happen. If he continues to get only 35-40 % of delegates, the goofy Huckster will not quit, not should Romney. Take it to the convention and see how McAmnesty and the HUckster fare amongst the party ‘establishment’. The MSM is in the tank for McAmnesty and will try to pressure Romney to quit, but a win in Ca makes him viable and this sham in WV will only serve to further enrage the base.
Are you spouting hyperbole, or do you actually believe that?
One's a good businessman?
I just gagged reading your post. lol.
ditto your comment and BTTT:)
What we just got was a brokered convention.
I see no reason it wouldn’t play out exactly like today at the R convention: Huck holding votes that would rather not vote for McCorrupt unless pressed like today.
This is downright sickening.
“Which may be all for not if Huck gives those delegates to McCain for a VP slot.”
Wow. McCain as President with Huck as his running mate is about my worst-case scenario. Amazing that it’s so close to actually happening. GO MITT!!!
According to the actuarial tables, what are the odds that McCain would survive four years as President? Far too much chance of the Huckster ending up as POTUS. He would be far, far worse than McCain.
Alright - Go Huckabee 08 - Continue the Sweep of God’s Country.
“I am so hoping for a brokered convention”
WV was, in essence, a brokered convention. A national convention, if there are three or four candidates with delegates will work exactly the same as what happened today. Alliances will be built and a winner will emerge with 50+% of the vote to secure the nomination. Today showed you the alliances that have formed and the ultimate outcome. A white knight will not be brought in from the outside to save the day. All who have thought so have been dreaming.
Yes, dust bunnies, er, uh, furballs. LOL! Furballs and future made for better alliteration.
Thanks for the chuckle. I sure need one today!
tells you the early contests have been in states with large religous voting block.
“You guys are just religiously bigoted. You hate Mormans.” — indylindy
indylindy, that is a dastardly and hateful accusation.
Absolutely dirty politics. Huckabee and McCain can’t even pretend not to be in collusion now. Every time now that they try to deny that, Romney needs to hammer them with “West Virginia” every single time. Make them wear this like a noose.
I can’t believe this. This is total horse crap.
but a win in Ca makes him viable and this sham in WV will only serve to further enrage the base.

Very possible. Wouldn’t that make for an interesting night?
It tells me that Romney has been beaten down by so many combined forces from the left that he had virtually no chance. If you can’t see that the primary reason Huckabee won West Virginia is collusion by Huckabee and McCain, you’re blind.
“You hate Mormans.”
If you’re going to make a claim like that, the least you can go is spell the word “Mormon” correctly.
