The rest of the story is that even with McCain's support, Huck didn't have the majority. So his side made a deal with the Ron Paul's supporters to switch to Huck in return for the 3 national delegates. Hence the final WV delegate count is:

15 Huckabee
3 Paul
0 Romney
0 McCain

The plot thickens. From the link:

"In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, the three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign."

These idiots need us more than we need them. Talk about mass political suicide not to mention that everyone, from McCain to Hunter to Huckabee to the MSM in all it's tentacle forms is anti-Romney. Talk about a mass endorsement. If Romney gets through Super Tuesday with more delegates than Huckabee the mo will be his. This is just not going to sit well and I have to guess that there are alot of WV conservatives none to happy with being portrayed as the return of backroom politics.
