Huckabee Wins WV Convention

West Virginia (30 Delegates)
Closed Caucus Results
Huckabee 567 52%
Romney 521 47%
McCain 12 1%

West Virginia Republicans have one of these totally screwed-up systems for determining how delegates will be allotted: 18 of 30 delegates are being determined today at a convention. The winner? Mike Huckabee, with 52%.

After the first vote, Mitt Romney led with 41% to Huckabee's 33%, but on the second, Romney was only able to get up to 47%. Marc Ambinder has one explanation for that:

But sources say that representatives for John McCain called many of his reps in WV and asked them to vote for Huckabee...in order to thwart Romney on the second ballot.

Thwarting accomplished.

At first, I was puzzled how Ron Paul could have had no support at all, since a WV state senator wrote a piece a while back complaining that there was a danger that Ron Paul forces could take the caucus.

However, since it turns out these are the results of the second ballot, I suppose it's possible, even likely, that Ron Paul, like McCain, threw his support to Huckabee.

Michael wooten just confirmed with ron pauls people that paul will get three national delegates from huckabee in exchange for throwing his wv support to [Huckabee, presumably]

Scott Saxton.

So my surmise that Ron Paul had thrown his support to Huckabee was correct.
