Looks like Huckabee is going to take the vast majority of Paul voters, and WV’s delegates. From NRO’s Campaign Spot:
In West Virginia, right now. [David Freddoso]
Through 30 of 55 counties on the second ballot:
316 Huckabee
275 Romney
I don’t know where the other counties will go, but I’m told that most of the Paul people are going with Huckabee.

Dang...
So, it’s not a double team against Romney, but a triple team.
Looks like McCain’s little lapdog Huckafraud is doing his VP duties and denying Romney a win...
The Paulites are hoping for a brokered convention. So this makes sense to vote for Huckabee since he is third in the delegate count.
Awesome !!

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.
