BREAKING: McCain and Huckabee team up to give Victory to Huck in WV and hand Mitt a defeat
Just reported on MSNBC that Huck won, but I read on thepage.time.com that there was a plan for McCain people to throw their support to Huckabee in second round voting to put Huckabee over the top.

9. But a logical one
MacCain is the only one left who doesn't scare the corporatists and Huckabee is the only one left who appeals to the GOP bornagain footsoldiers. Without Huckabee, McCain is sunk.

You're right though, I scares me too. :scared: It's like a pairing of all the worst GOP factions. x(

7. It's scary to think repugs are organized enough to do this
Would our side ever unify for a common cause? Thank goodness we won't have to.

10. Wow -- an hour ago they called it for Romney
Candidate Votes Vote % Delegates Projected Winner
Huckabee 567 52% 18 Winner
Romney 521 47% 0
McCain 12 1% 0

Only 1,100 people voted and that counts for 18 delegates -- and the winner only needs 1,191?

Talk about carrying some weight.
