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!

Double nasty ugh!!!

Missouri is southern. I live just across the border in Iowa. Trust me on this one.

[Signalman]

Huckabee is McCain’s bitch!

[niteowl77]

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

I'm feeling even better about dumping the GOP and becoming an independent than I had thought possible.

vote analysis is that McCain is in trouble.

McCain had to use lifeline to huckabee to stop Romney.

THAT is a huge story if presented.

[dforest]

McCain is no pro life, pro family guy, neither is goober. His kids are nightmares, unlike Romneys kids.

[spectre]

If McCain is our the GOP POTUS nominee, he and Hucka-hick are going nowhere but back home.

McCain and Huck are not only sharing a bed, they’re in a single, snuggled very closely.

[citizen]

Of course McMe and #uck aren’t working together, right? Just confirms why I won’t be voting for either of those liars this November.

[JohnnyZ]

McCain’s decision not to show up at the WV caucus just might have been one of the biggest mistakes he ever made

That's one hell of an overstatement.

Have you noticed his other mistakes?!?

[buckalfa]

Time the WV primary rolls around in May, it will be all over but the shouting.

They anybody but McCain movement is just about dead.

[Jim W N]

How about the Constitution Party?

[over3Owithabrain]

Well it does show that McCain is terrified of Romney and nowhere near as cocky about clinching today as he has been saying. He has to pull a stunt like this and let Huck have the handful of delegates just to keep Romney from a win.

All this bunk is just making even more sure McCain will alienate every last Republican on the fence about him.

[Pravious]

McCain and Huckabee, you disgusting scum. You don’t belong in politics, nevermind (what’s left of) our party.

[GraniteStateConservative]

McCain didn’t even show up in WV. Huck and Romney did and Romney wasn’t able to get the 50+% he needed. That’s Romney’s fault.

[Bogie]

With Romney it will be harder for the Dems.

[Norseman]

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

I doubt it. McCain is now going to have a much closer race than he’d hoped against Huckabee in several states where voting is only half over due to this being reported extensively.

[Hoodlum91]

So the only way for Huck to win was to start up the dirty political tricks?

Nice.

The man disgusts me more and more.
