Cheat?

Did they violate a rule?

Romney wasnt my first choice or second...but I’ll not vote for McCain....for any reason. The huckster is a vile little man and wont get my vote either.
Sad days ahead for the Republican party I’m afraid.

It’s called political strategy, not cheating.

Myth Romney is an utter wus. Everything is about him, and with HIM as victim.

How is that cheating?

It's not cheating but it's dirty backroom politics. Exactly what you'd expect from the Rino establishment

Neither, Its the essence of the caucus process

It's not only Romney they're cheating...it's conservatives. Our votes are expendable to them.

That's true. I predict a conservative backlash.

I’m against that.

I’ll just wait until Mitt is gone. Hopefully FOREVER.

Please! For months now the mitt worshipers have ignored the gripes of pro-life people that Mitt was not vetted enough and told we better vote for him in the general or else Hillary is *our* fault.

Now we are being told that if Mitt does not get the nomination and the dont vote for the winner hillary is still *our* fault...

Gotta love it..

I’m voting for Hunter in the primary. He’s still on the WA ballot.

McCain is a despicable piece of garbage. I will never vote for that sick demented old fool.

Yeah but I'd rather have McCain's liberalism than Romney's liberalism. At least you know where McCain stands plus he has a dry sense of humor to boot.

If I were Mitt, I’d run as an independent to burn the RINO establishment that has taken over the Republican party.

And I’d select Thompson as my running mate.

Good for caucii. This was a convention not a caucus. Conventions are designed by party hacks to prevent the party rank and file from having a voice in the nomination process. Politics 101 pal.

I'm noting your screen name, and will be contacting you after Hillary wins in November to see how your 'anybody but Romney' strategy is working out for you. ;)

Omigosh!

If your goal is beating Hillary, you should support John McCain, as he is the most electable.

However, my goal is supporting conservatives and attacking liberals, and the most disgusting RINO Romney will lose and I will be glad.

Then I'll go back to being depressed that the conservative candidates are long gone.

Something stinks in WV. For second round balloting all the original Huck and Romney voters kept with their candidate.

ALL the McCain voters went to Huck even though their candidate was still in.

Looks like Ron Paul voters went 5, 4, 1 respectively. Paul may have gone 5, 5 and 1% of McCain voters weren’t in on the game.

Either way point being that McCain voters colluded and went 100% to Huck. If McCain’s 15% had gone even 10% Huck and 5% Romney I would believe that was not colluded and self choice, but 14 or 15% (depending on what Ron Paul’s 10 did) is collusion.

The fix was in. McCain could afford to lose WV to Huck but he couldn’t afford to lose it to Romney.

Dirty yes, but legal, and why caucuses suck.

Huck supporters are all cheering and happy right now but I actually feel sorry for Huck because he is gonna get kicked to the curb by McCain when it’s all over and Huck supporters haven’t figured that out.

We can disagree on whether Romney votes are conservative votes, but do you have any evidence that a single Romney vote was stolen in WV?

Yes. I am glad it is out in the open. In a way that is the silver lining in this loss.

No more denying that the two of them are in bed together.

They aren't denying Romney anything. This is how politics works. Romney is a bridge burner and he is reaping the rewards of that.

Your positive suggestion ignores the fact that many many conservatives don't like Romney and won't vote for him no matter what. There are many who agree with you, but you are not everyone. The thing with bridge burners is that they end up with nobody. Same goes for opportunists. In my view, Romney is both.

That vote appears to me to be an example of the number of Republicans who don't want Romney no matter what. You left them out of your theory.
