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.

Well I’m already cryin’, but McCain will not be rewarded for his treachery.
and McCain is laughing behind Hucks back the whole time.
McCain is using Huck and Huck is so blinded by power hunger that he is going for it. Once McCain gets the nod ...he will be saying Huck who.
How does McCain think he can win in the Fall? Conservatives aren’t going to vote for him. And as for Demc, when you have a choice between Liberal and Liberal-lite, they’ll vote for Liberal every time.
Yup, and that is the kind of sh@@ we are dealing with. Some like this crap because all is fair in love and war. What a sad Country we now live in. Unfortunately this is not a game.
I will start my search for a third party candidate to support, once this mess is over!
Thanks for the ping.
Rommney will have to deal with and strategize with this out in the open team tagging in mind. I think Romney can still do well today and believe he will yet do better than they expect.
I have had enough of the prick McCain. I have given it a great deal of thought and if McCain is the nominee I will be voting for the Dem in November. I agree with Rush that if the country's going to go down the sewer anyway, let it be on the Dem's watch so we can hopefully get a conservative back in 2012.
There fixed it.
that’s cold, but I like it!
There fixed it.
Truth hurts, doesn't it.
I don’t know, can you feel it?
You called yourself a nobody. If truth hurts you must be doubled-over in pain.
Yeah, a back room deal that helps both teams! If you win in West Virginia is that a “hollow” victory! Or a “Holler” Victory, like down in the holler!
I prefer Romney because he's the only legitimate candidate who has both executive and business leadership experience. The others (McCain, Obama, and Monica's ex-boyfriend's wife) are career Senators, with huge egos and no leadership experience.
While were at it, I think its also time to demand that John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama withdraw from the race as well, so that any and all obstructions to Mitt Romney be forever and completely removed. Come to think of it, we should just do away with all this election shiite and just ask Sean Puff Daddy Hannity who he thinks the new President should be. Think of all the time and money we could save.
