The results, with 100% reporting, as per CNN’s Election Center 2008:

West Virginia Caucus Results

• Romney - 41%
• Huckabee - 33%
• McCain - 16%
• Paul - 10%

West Virginia is winner-take-all, so Romney gets 18 delegates out of the deal.

One down, 20 to go!

Time for a CONSERVATIVE Party. Republicans can go to blazes

“Looks like McCain’s little lapdog Huckafraud is doing his VP duties and denying Romney a win...”

Looks like because of the lack of discernment of way too many Christians, we’ll get stuck with McCain:

“Beware of politicians and their religious rhetoric.” (Gary DeMar)

Pro-life, pro-family voters are uniting to defeat the lying liberal from Massachusetts!

[txhurl]

There’s still the popular vote. I sense WV wants Romney more than Huck.

All doubt is now removed that Huckabee is McCain’s lapdog.

[Wallace T.]

Huckabee was less rude to Paul than Romney or McCain have been during the debates. Additionally, Huckabee is more of an outsider than are Romney or McCain, which will appeal to Paul’s delegates. They will go to Huckabee, which would knock McCain out. Then in the third round, the McCain supporters will go to Huckabee, who has been a de facto ally of the Arizona senator. The net effect will be a Huckabee victory in a border state.

My thoughts exactly. Just received a lesson in dirty politics.

[Red Steel]

The triple team worked. Unbelievable!!!

And a pathetic outcome for their effort.

[Tears of a Clown]

I think the Paul supporters also switched to huckabee to deny romney.

[mplsconservative]

I AM SICK!!! HUCKSTER AND MCCRAZY ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO “CHEAT” OUT ROMNEY!!! YES I AM YELLING!!!!

That is exactly what is going on here. I am beyond disgusted with these @#$%^ slimy reptiles!

[Free Vulcan]

MO is WTA. I don’t know how many delegates they have though.

[icwhatudo]

[dforest]

I am sure McCain is happy goober won over the West Virginians.

What a joke.

[RoseofTexas]

Well folks, for the sake of sanity I will boycott the internet today. Catch you all tomorrow! Have a bottle of the bubbly waiting for me tomorrow because it going to be a hellish day......bummer! :(

[over3Owithabrain]

You can also blame yet another ridiculously stupid way of voting.

[GeorgiaDawg]

OKAY - For the rest of the country that watched this debacle and is still voting..if this doesn’t make you madder than hell, then I don’t know what will. STOP MCCAIN NOW!

[My Favorite Headache]

Thanks to McCain voters...they went to Huckabee at the request of the McCain campaign. Romney goes down to Huckabee in 2nd round of voting. He gets the 18 delegates.

“Just received a lesson in dirty politics.”

And a lesson in what will happen in the fairy tale brokered convention in St. Paul. Ugly deals will be struck to make sure that McCain is the nominee.

I've never really thought of Missouri as Southern.

52 delegates, or thereabouts.
