Its a caucus, not an all day voting thing like other states.

Everyone gets together and take a vote of who is in the room. These are the results of the first vote:

* Romney - 41%
* Huckabee - 33%
* McCain - 16%
* Paul - 10%

Now they will revote without Paul as an option.

Even if all of Pauls voters go to McCain, it will not be enough and after this vote McCain will be dropped.

They will vote again between Huch and Romney, winner take all.

This is huge because Romney can go on TV and make his victory speech that will be replayed all day as others are going to the polls. He can also claim to have won the last two contests, Maine and now West Virginia. He may even be able to spin it (even though the maine delegates get awarded later) that he is now the leader in total delagates over mCain.
