- 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!
2008= RNC “you WILL vote for McCain. We picked him and you have no choice!”
(conservatives stay home)
2012= RNC “our coffers are empty, PLEASE send us some money”
(conservatives flip bird and set on wallets.)
I felt the same way and made the same decision a few days ago. I have long been tired of having the GOP suits pull this kind of crap and still get my vote in November because they were assured that I'd vote for "their man" because the alternative was worse.
It worked before, but John McCain was my line in the sand (now it is John McCain and/or Mike Huckabee). Soros can have the GOP too.
Mr. niteowl77
What goes around comes around and it'll be coming around for the little maverick. If only I could see his face when he loses.
I saw Huckabee TODAY on television doing just what I stated.
Closing your eyes to it won't make it not true.
Never happen, keepitreal...McCain in finished, kaput.
WRONG, milwgyy!! Crist won’t be VP because McNasty won’t be the nominee!!
McNasty only got 12 votes?? Looks like all of McNasty’s went to Suckabee...By design??
“McCain is dead in the water after he gets the nomination.”
Like a turd.
He’ll be flushed in November.
Get out the Comet.
I hope you’re right. I’m not as optimistic.
Introductions at the Betty Ford Clinic sometime in the near future:
Cindi McCain, Kitty Dukakis.
Kitty Dukakis, Cindi McCain.
Got proof?

The CP’s convention isn’t til late April and chances are, it will be either
Ron Paul
Rev. Chuck Baldwin
Of the two, Baldwin is the toughest on the Invasion by Mexico and is conservativbe thru and thru. He’s pushing RP, though, so he’d probably only be the VP selection...There are others, such as conservative judge Roy Moore...Paul however may do as he says he will and will stay in the GOP come hell or brokered convention...
All the candidates are all over it.
I saw it, sorry you didn’t
It’s not that big of a deal but it happened.
BULLCRAP! Mancrush Dogkiller is not going to dis pimp daddy McCain
You a hip hop rapper? You have a unique way of getting your point across. Well trying anyway
:) coming to a theater near you...
No. Everyone who disagrees with me is mis-informed and either doesn’t have enough information to draw the correct conclusion or doesn’t want to hear anything counter to their position.
I was hoping Minnesota was paying attention to what happened in West Virginia. These primaries and caucuses don’t happen in a vaccuum anymore; information travels way too fast for that.
Go Minnesota! Go Mitt!
I don’t think most caucus states require a candidate to reach 50%, I think what you get is what you get. That’s how Iowa, Nevada, Wyoming and Maine are.
I don’t know about the others. Romney has won all of them but Iowa, and came in 2nd there. West Virginia is the first I’ve heard that does the 50% rule.
All caucuses have baselines, even if they aren't 50%. Bill Richardson ordered his supporters to support Obama in the second balloting in Iowa. They all do more than one ballot, so it's not "what you get is what you get."
The Iowa GOP doesn’t. It’s a straight vote. The Dems do the percentage rule (15% here), but not the GOP. I think most other states are that way for the GOP too.
