(CNN) -- Republican Mike Huckabee scored the first Super Tuesday victory, winning all 18 delegates at stake in West Virginia.

The former Arkansas governor won with the support of 52 percent of the state's GOP convention delegates on the second round of balloting. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in second with 47 percent of the vote, and Sen. John McCain was backed by 1 percent of the delegates.

Romney was ahead in the first round of voting in Charleston but failed to get the majority needed to win.

It appeared as though supporters of Arizona Sen. John McCain, who placed a distant third on the first ballot, moved over to Huckabee, helping him to carry the day.

6. Mike Huckabee obviously wants VP. I think he should get out and let Romney win.

he'll be easier to defeat for either candidates but especially obama. tho i think mccain would be very easy to beat for obama.

7. We should actually want Romney to get the nomination.

It's not that we like him. It's because almost every poll says that he would be the easiest to beat in the general election.

8. I think it is better...

to have a candidate the RW radio assholes have been talking down... their listeners are sheep, and they can't go back on the shit they have spouted against McCain or Huck at this point.
