McCain gave Huckabee his votes so he would pass Romney.

Huckabee is McCain’s b*#ch.

The person who posted did not understand the rules of the WV caucus.

Romney won the first round of voting with 41%. However, in WV, you must win at least 50% of the vote to get the delegates.

So, in the second round of voting, McLame supporters threw their support to Huckster in order to beat Romney.

Perfectly legal even though it looks (and is) collusion. Just something I would expect from liberals.

Romney did win on the first ballot ( It wasn’t a primary ) but the vote was split with no clear majority.

On the 2nd ballot the McCain voters switched over to Huckabee giving him the clear win.

If anything is to be learned from this it is the fact that The Huck or McCain voters would never be for Romney even if Huck dropped out.

Romney would never get enough of the red state vote to win in Nov even if he won the nomination.

Romney has serious problems with the red state base and those that support him better come to terms with that fact.

They have multiple rounds. The McCain people saw they weren’t winning, so in order to knock out Romney (the one they are afraid of), they went to Huckabee.
