- 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!
WOOOHOOO! GO MITT!!!
Cool that Huckabee did so well vs. McCain. Perhaps Huckabee can knock off McCain in some of those Southern states that now show McCain on top.
Another Caucus state that McCain gets nowhere.
Bodes well for Romney in the other Caucus states today: MN,AK,MT,ND, and CO.
It would be hilarious if McCain’s stalking horse Huckabee ends up being McCain’s undoing.
You’re a little early.
No winner yet, Paul is knocked out, Next vote at 1:30pm
Go Mit!
They will revote until somebody gets 50%. But based on those first ballot numbers, it’s not going to be McCain, it will be in all likelihood Romney.
interesting.
Romney will win, but he has to get from 41% to a majority, and with Paul out now, he will gain in the second vote.
I think you maybe a little premature in the call.... But it may well happen.

WEST VIRGINIA State PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION
Tuesday 5 February 2008
All 18 At-Large Republican National Convention delegates from West Virginia are pledged to the winner of a majority of the delegates attending today’s State Presidential Convention (for which said delegates were chosen from 1 through 14 January last): a maximum of 3 Roll Calls will take place until a majority is secured by a presidential contender, with the third- if necessary- taking place between the top two finshers, short of a majority, on the second Roll Call. (West Virginia will pledge 9 District delegates in a Tuesday 13 May 2008 Presidential Primary).

he won Maine (18 or 21 delegates) and now hopefully this (another 18) so he is leading the race.
If Romney doesn’t win it on the second vote, he will on the third.
Don't expect that to happen with McCain's huge lead and the enemedia behind him, but wouldn't that be poetic justice?

Poetic justice, indeed.
Hopefully, Romney will draw first blood. If he can take Georgia, that would be a minor miracle.
He will draw first blood. West Virginia is his, and ours.
If it goes to a 3rd vote and McCain comes in last, we will find out who McCain’s voters vote for. It will be Huckabee vs. Romney. And we’ll find out if that poll(most likely a junk poll) saying that McCain voter will go for Huckabee.
