Mike Huckabee won the first of 21 GOP contests on Super Tuesday, pulling out a victory in the West Virginia Republican convention even though Mitt Romney won the first round.

The convention had to go into a second round of voting Tuesday after no candidate took a clear majority. Texas Rep. Ron Paul was knocked out in the first round, but Huckabee, Romney and John McCain moved forward.

Huh? Don’t kid yourself. This is purely a McCain victory. Romney led early, Huck trailed badly, then the McCain people switched their votes.

LOL. Yeah, he lost the first round, then the McLame crowd went over to give HACKabee a win.

Whoop-dee-doo.

A pyrrhic victory at best.

McCain gave his votes to Huckabee to defeat Romney.

So, I guess McCain doesn’t take Romney seriously.

Huckabee is nothing but a shill for McCain.

That second alter call did the trick. I voted for him in Oklahoma. He was the only one who had a chance against McCain & I didn’t want our 41 winner-take-all delegates going to Kerry’s rejected running mate.

Will El Rushbo report the significance of this? How about Hannity?

This just more proof Huckabee is the ONLY one that can stop McCain!

It is disgusting what happened in WV. Let the people vote! Had it been a primary or caucus Romney would have one. Thanks to the convention setting where only party hacks voted McLame and huckledoodle were allowed to utilize their brokeback relationship.

You want McCain to win that badly? In the exit polls so far, the majority of Huckabee voters express McCain as their second choice.

But then who is left to stop Huckabee?

We're going down in flames in November.

“God Blessed us with a Huck win....”

Read your own tagline.

PS - Huck supports tuition breaks for illegals.

Why?

He conspired with JM to deny MR any delegates.

Doesn’t that bother you? How Godly can a man be to not run a clean non whining campaign.
