Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Republican presidential nominating race in West Virginia on Tuesday, defeating John McCain and Mitt Romney in the first of the day's 24 state contests to pick candidates for the November election, U.S. media projected.

And that filthy Romney tried to suggest he was a failing corporation that should sell out to make room for him. Huc said he wouldn't be bought at any price and now he wins.

According to CNN, in the 1st round Romney was ahead, Huckabee 2nd, and McCain a distant 3rd. Then the delegates negotiated, and the McCain delegates want Romney to lose, so enough of them switched over to Huckabee's camp giving Huckabee the number to take the state.

it was a deal between mccain and fuckabee

Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic reported Tuesday that, after the first ballot, McCain?s campaign called his supporters there and urged them to vote in favor of Huckabee.

Huckabee won the contest on the second ballot with 567 votes, or 51 percent, to Romney?s 521 votes, which put him at 47 percent. McCain finished the second ballot with 12 votes.

On the first ballot, McCain had 176 votes to Huckabee?s 375 and Romney?s 464 votes.

Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) received 118 votes on the first ballot, but because he failed to finish in the top three, he was not included on the second ballot.

What a clusterfvck, jacked up system this is. I'm not going to win so I will tell all my people to vote for my biggest rival so that some schmuck can take it cause he has no chance.

And yet the GOP doesn't want open primaries because they are afraid of Dems skewing the true intentions of the voters and vice versa. :roll:

I'm guessing that they don't have enough faith in the American people to do the job as well as they feel that they do it themselves.

Yep, this is because it's a CAUCUS. They're such wierd things I don't understand why they still used

Hey its take your turn for the GOP. That brash McCain, pigging an extra turn and trying to get an extra turn by grubbing both SC and Florida. Silly rabbits, it was Hucks turn next.

Yep. I think McCain (if he's smart) already has Suckabee in his back pocket as a choice for VP. Suckabee will take it if he's smart. This would help McCain carry the Southern states, and evangelicals will be *praying* every day that for whatever reason McCain can't complete his term, then they will realize their ultimate biblical wet dream -- a minister as POTUS.

F**kbee would be a comically awful president, but if this takes votes away from Romney, it's all good.
