In the first Super Tuesday result, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won an upset victory at the West Virginia Republican presidential convention, scoring all 18 of the state's delegates.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who had worked hard to organize in the Mountaineer State, came in second.
His campaign cried foul, saying the McCain campaign sent its delegates to Huckabee in order to undermine Romney.
Huckabee and Romney both made appearances at the convention.
Romney campaign manager Beth Myers said in a statement: "[T]his is what Senator McCain's inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney's campaign of conservative change.

We are fast becoming worse off than the Balkans. We had a wonderful country at one time but, since Reagan walked out of the White House the country has progressively gotten worse year by year! You can deny it and flame me but,the truth can be seen at the border and at the way immigration is being allowed to flood the country. Detroit, LA, New Jersey, Hartford, and I can name more and more cities and states that I will not drive through today!
We should demand that each candidate running for Office of President answer a few simple questions “Will you walk in Detroit” “Will you drive your family through LA” These should be required questions.
The West Virginia bubba’s loved the squirrel in the popcorn popper story.
Our country has declined since Reagan. No doubt. And, yes, there are areas you do not feel safe in. We are still a wonderful country, but I fear for our future.
Huckabee has no shot. Except perhaps as McCain’s running mate.
What if McCain does’t pick Huckabee? What if Huckabee is just being used?
Oh grow up and learn some history.
“Oh grow up and learn some history.”
If you are going to attempt to smear the military, you should be prepared to show us some pretty good evidence.
Let’s go back a little bit. I said that I had read that John McCain’s move up his military ladder was because of his family. Do you realize that both his father and grandfather were Navy Admirals? Do you think that fact had no role at all in his Naval career?
Now, you have accused me, of all people, that I have smeared the military and in your earlier post you said I was criticizing the military and asked for evidence from me that the military was corrupt.
I am not here to educate you. If you know so little of our government and our military then that is your problem, not mine. And don’t accuse me again of smearing our military. You know nothing (obviously) of me.
Now shut up and go away. Try to figure this out on your own okay.
By the way, who is this “us” you keep referring to. I only see responses from you. Did you need some help?
“And dont accuse me again of smearing our military.”
I still don’t see your evidence that the military is a corrupt group of men that base careers on cronyism and family connections.
I told you. I don't have time to educate you on military history. How about you start by reading our Foxhole threads here on FR, you can find the button on the front page of FR. Maybe you can learn a little about military history. Oh, yeah, you'll also probably figure out just how I feel about them too.
Read up on military figures throughout history, the War between the States would be a good start. Read some of the military biographies.
Mind you, you are the one repeating the mantra that the military is corrupt, not me. I'm saying family matters.
Get a grip, get an education and stop your Bravo Sierra crap with me. Your barking up the wrong tree. Oh, yeah now before you accuse me again of bad mouthing the military you just take a look at my FR page and while you are there click on my husband's page as well.
Still want to accuse me of dissing the military just because I hurt your feeling about your worship of McCain?
Now please, go away.
Man you are evasive, all I’m looking for is evidence for your claim and you are all over the place.
Because your little mind has blown it out of proportion.
Tell you what. How about you google something like John McCain Navy Career.
If you can’t back up your posts, then you shouldn’t make the anti military accusation. Post after post of insults is not helpful.
