You write: “McCain would have dropped off the next round of balloting anyway as the number 3 choice. McCain’s delegates would naturally go to Huck; it was the smart play. Nothing underhanded, typical politics”
Disagree, typical McCaine politics. Keep up making excuses for McCain. If this was so typical; why is McCaines national headquarters directing complaints to the WV GOP that pulled this stunt? They should be defending it instead of telling callers, including me, they can’t control the local delegates.
It’s how caucuses work. Romney and his supporters have been whiners since Iowa.
