All’s fair since the dems crossed over and voted for McCain to get him the slot.

What a miserable situation the GoP has created. Even clothespins may not help some do as you said you will.

Gotta disagree with ya on this one. It was the WVGOP that got him the slot. On Super Tuesday in the first ever WV Republican Presidential Convention, the WVGOP went for Huckabee in a successful effort to destroy Romney. In the first vote of the Convention, Romney led with Huck, McCain and Paul trailing well behind. However, Romney had not acquired the requisite number of votes to win the winner-take-all prize. On the second vote (about 1PM EST) the McCain delegates switched to Huckabee thereby defeating Romney. All that afternoon the press was headlining that Romney had 'lost' in WV. IMO this had an effect on the primaries and caucuses in all the other states voting that day and spelled the end for Romney.
