Way to go Gov. Huckabee! Maybe that will help the Huckabee supporters who feel they must cast their vote elsewhere because they've heard that he can't win!
We have a choice! Vote Mike Huckabee!

I thought this was Romney's state to win? Wow could this be an indication that these polls are silly and no one know who will win anything. I for one refused to be exit polled this morning....... Its all going to be wait and see folks.....

Huckabee wins West Virginia

asher — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:43:34 GMT

It is possible that Huckabee may win more states than Romney today. Big loss for romney. He thought he had this one wrapped up. If Romney can't win Tenn, alabama, Mizzo or Georgia it is going to be a very long night for him. He just doesn't resonate in the south.

This will be a series problem for him in the general election if he wins the GOP nomination. Obama would crush Romney in the southern states.

When the pollsters first missed the mark in Iowa, the social media research company I work for decided to see if the blogosphere was as wrong as the traditional media. Using a more primitive version of our current methodology, we were pleasantly surprised to see that a measurement of blog sentiment and activity would have correctly (if narrowly) predicted an Obama win. Our theory as to why this is: people so engaged in the political process that they publicly blog about their favorite candidates could fairly represent those who are engaged enough to vote in the primaries and caucuses at all. We followed 5 states for Super Tuesday and made overall and specific predictions, which can be found here, if you’re interested:

Yea, did you hear it was because after Romney won the first round that McCains people approached the Huckabee people and said that McCain wanted to put his votes behind Huckabee so that Romney wouldn't win. How dirty can you get! They have hurt their reputations and it will come back to haunt them in later primarys. People don't like back door deals.

YES! I am a republican but McCain would not get my vote. I really like Mike Huckabee and I think in the end of of the political debates he had been put on the back burner. This I beleive is due to Mitt's $$ and all the old political crony's of McCain.
I hope this will be just the begining of a turn for the republican party.
If McCain does get in I will be voting for a democrat

Actually he is more a comedian than a politician. He should be a regular on late night. Why WV would you vote for him ? McCain people wake up!!!

Jack Milford — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:01:56 GMT

McCain supporters are spineless and refuse to allow the majority of delegates to be allocated as the WV block decided to support Romney.

According to Realcclearpolitics.com.....it appears that Romney won the caucus delegate first round but then it the second round, all of McCain's votes went to Huckabee to put him over the top.....just a complete display of political collusion. McCain/Hucabee is going to be the ticket and the republicans (and I am one) are going to get blown out........Romney is the only chance we have to make it a race. West coast voters need to turn out and vote againts the McCain/Huckabee arranged marriage!

You can try and prove me wrong, it wont change my mind, and in fact most mormons around the country feel the same way. The Republican party is hurting themselves and if McCain wins and pick Huckabee for VP and Obama wins, I can see Obama winning, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Neveda because the mormons are really ticked about it

Huckabee won by someone else's support. He didn't win because there was that many people that supported him. There was more people that supported the idea to not let Romney win then there was people to support Huckabee. That is so pathetic. Romney should have won that race. This is just further evidence that "A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain". Also that Huckabee is McCain's little string puppet to win the nomination. McCain wouldn't touch Huckabee with a ten foot pole for his VP. Huckabee is dreaming. McCain isn't going to be electable in November because a lot of his base is going to stay home rather than vote for him. C'mon voters, get out there and vote or caucus for Mitt Romney! He is our country's last hope for survival in the world.

I am a moderate Republican, and I'm guaranteeing you that if anyone goes against any of the Democrats, the only one that will win is McCain, because he's the only one that represents some sort of change in the Republican party.

MaLenda H Grayson, Ky — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:23:28 GMT

This is a conspiracy between McCain's people and Huckabee's people. Romney got 41% of the vote on the first ballot. Under these new West Virginia rules, no delegates can be awarded unless a candidate gets 50%. Huckabee had 33%, McCain had 15%, and Paul had 10%. Paul was left off the second ballot and McCain's votes, at the request of McCain's organizers, went to Huckabee. Huckabee ended up with just over 50% and McCain had 1% of the votes. Seems pretty dirty to me, and confirms this conspiracy between McCain and Huckabee. Neither can win it on their own--they have to gang up on Romney.

If Huckabee keeps this up he is just handing the Nomination over to Mcain, since he doesnt have a chance by himself. Why he just can not admitt he doesnt have what it takes to stand on his own. He has to tag team Romney. If Romney and Huckabee would just join up together. What a power they would be together. Together you stand/divided you will fall.....

Kathryn in Bham — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:26:24 GMT

The really great thing about the voting system where we have primaries and caucuses is that we can vote for who we think is the right choice. I do not agree with Mitt Romney on issues of importance to me...Iraq and the economy for HUGE starters. I also take issue with the fact that he has recently changed his position on other matters - I question the authenticity of his decision, as I believe he knew that his greatest support could be gathered from the 'conservative christian/right' group, but not without oposing abortion and gay rights.

I wish that more people were educated on the platform that Gov. Huckabee is running on. I think that he was unfairly dubbed as the preacher wannabe president instead of the visionary that he is.

Huckabee is proving why a positive campaign pays off at the end. Huckabee will be the consensus candidate at the end after the whole McCain - Romney bickering.

Romney was stupid to run attack ads on everyone else while flip-flopping on every major issue. What a scumbag. Btw, Romney spent millions to get the 400+ delegates. Huckabee got 300+ all on his own without McCains help. I don't even think Huckabee spent that much time or resources in West Virginia.

So let's not talk about McCain here. Huckabee is the only one that can beat McCain. Romney is wasting his money. Go back to Massachusetts!

McCain is a dirty politician who will do ANYTHING to get elected. HILLARY IN '08 if McCain is the nominee!

Josh, Utah — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:56:52 GMT

If any of the Huckleberry supporters thinks that this victory reflects who West Virginians wanted for President and/or that Huckabee has a mathmatical shot at President, you are being diluted by a dishonest candidate.

Huckabee one because John McCain steered his supporters Mike's way, not because he carried a majority by himself; that was clear after the first vote.

After today, you will realize that Huckabee SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THE DELEGATES TO WIN THE NOMINATION!!! His campaign advisors know this, he knows this. The reason he is continuing is NOT because, as he says, he is running for President; it is because he is running for V.P. on a McCain ticket. Even if Huckabee wins the south, not a couple of states, but all of the states, he cannot gain a majority of delegates to win the nomination without California or New York, which he won't win.

PLEASE, realize that you are not voting Huckabee to become President but to become V.P.. The President will be the guy that is completely opposite of conservatives on all of the issues that matter.

Do you guys even know how a caucus works? VOTERS ARE ALLOWED to switch sides after the initial vote. That is the reason why most states reject caucuses. Usually the activist control the whole thing and it is not a true representation of the electorate.

Interesting, but if it was a primary, Romney would probably of come in third.

Romney fans need to stop whining. This is how caucuses work. What is interesting is if this will occur in colorado, Alaska and Minn. If yes, Romney will lose all his momentum.

It humors me to think that people are willing to believe every little thing media has force-fed this nation. If, and it really doesn't matter what religion you profess to be as long as you believe in the Bible. The choice is clear. This country was founded for the sole purpose of, Christian, men and women escaping a religion forced goverenment to form a goverenment that did not MAKE a person be one or the other. If what a candidate says or stands for does not line up with how the Bible says we are to live, then the choice is simple. I know these comments will probably strike alot of harsh remarks, but the Bible does state in Galatians 4:16 "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" Vote how God would vote, not how the media votes. Go Huck!!!

I do not think I have ever seen a candidate who has moved so far, so quickly, so shamelessly and so cynically across the political spectrum as Mitt Romney. I say "cynically" because that's what it is; it should be painfully obvious to anyone with clear political vision that Romney's political conversion was borne out of nothing so much as pure calculation. He thought he could win as a conservative, so he became one. If he thought he could win as a pirate, he would have become a pirate, Author Unknown.

1200 Republicans met in a state that probably only has 120,000 Republicans in it (and yet still went for Bush twice) and voted for Huckabee. Does that mean anything to the rest of the country and for the rest of the election? No. West Virginia's primary is not until May, and that's when the remainder of our delegates will be apportioned, by which time, Huckabee will undoubtedly not even be in the race, and the nominees will have already been decided. I used to lament the fact that my vote wouldn't count more in determining the nominee...after this result, it's probably for the best that we don't vote until May.

Huckabee wins West Virginia

D. Olsen, San Diego, CA — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 21:37:53 GMT

What a joke! McCain and Huckabee dirty again and in collusion. What a surprise. Huckabee never criticizes McCain's liberal views on everything because he's just as liberal. Now they make a backroom dirty deal. Their jealousy of Romney's life knows no bounds. Jealous of his skills, his intelligence, his success, his money, his looks, his values, his attention to detail and organization. What's not to be jealous of? Romney's sensational, and McCain and Huckabee just can't help themselves. This is more of McCain's true personality and his upbringing. If you can't beat 'em, bully 'em, just like at Episcopal High school and the U.S. naval academy when McCain would bully and harrass everyone he was supposed to work with. Couldn't stand anyone outdoing him. He almost got himself kicked out of the Naval Academy because he couldn't control his anger and jealousy toward others. His beligerant, harrassing behavior toward his classmates is legendary. His own parents would get so sick of his misbehavior, that they would just drop him into a cold bathtub of water with his clothes on when he acted beligerant. This ugly behavior on McCain's part has been a lifelong pattern of behavior. He believes that he doesn't have to follow the rules and he'll bully thinks he should. Thus, the physical shoving of senators behind closed doors, shouting the F word in their faces and black balling anyone who questions him with an enemies list longer than Nixon's. The difference is, that Nixon didn't act on his the way McCain has acted on his list. The details of his abuse of others is layed out in Newsweek. None of these filthy dirty tricks is surprising coming from McCain. He just admitted on the news that he did play it dirty in West Virginia with Huckabee. This just confirms everything I've seen in Huckabee too. I knew not to give either of them my valuable vote! No matter, McCain has no hope of winning in the general election. He's so disliked by the republican party and it's getting worse not better. He can go to the CPAC conference all he wants, but the president of the conference wrote a scathing article on him the other day, and thinks McCains dishonest and dirty too. McCain's not going to win the conservative base over and I won't give you my vote ever. He can talk to the evangelicals I guess, they seem to be pretty open to listening to him though. Big surprise.

Romney's response is a bit over the top, though given the political climate engendered by McCain lately, understandable to a point.

But I have to ask: Being just a distant third with no apparent hope of winning, what exactly were McCain voters supposed to do? Vote for Romney? Ya gotta admit that would be a bit counter-productive. And Huckabee was close so he's not going to fold up his tent.

Huckabee could be in a position later to help either Romney or McCain and Romney's allegations of back room deals is just as negative toward Huckabee in this case as it is toward McCain. Not a good response.

I still prefer Romney, but he needs to get back on track, the politics and rise above it.

yea huckabee! in the world of politics it's hard to find a man with true integrity. despite the religious bigotry that is directed towards him, one need only see his proven record as an outstanding governor, which is, in essence, what a president actually serves as (on a national scale.

Republicans may have made the largest mistake of all supporting Romney and McCain as the potential front runners.

Both are very poor speakers and are even weaker debaters that will surely fail against Obama or Clinton.

Mike Huckabee is the clearest choice and was recently endorsed by Zig Ziggler. Wow!

Huckabee is a true conservative Republican who has served 2 terms as Governor and has proved already that he can defeat the Clintons in any debate.

Even if you do not agree with all of Huckabee's policies, that is why you have a voice through your senate. Use it. But...a man's character can not be altered by contacting your senate. Huckabee needs no polish to improve his character and he knows exactly where he stands on issues. That is the kind of Republican we can all stand behind!

Go get 'em Huckabee!

To the people of West Virginia - my deepest regrets that your voice wasn't heard. Even though the majority of you chose Romney, the backroom politics of McCain and Huckabee robbed you of your first choice. I will do my best to make sure California can set right the wrong that McCain and Huckabee did to you. Go Romney!!

McCain and Huckabee are evil and desperate boys...I wouldn't even call them men seeing how disgraceful and arrogant they are. Go ahead boys and play your games because you won't make it to the White House because a conservitive with integrity would rather vote for Hillary than you two jokes. If Huckabee were truly a man of "GOD" he wouldn't be playing games like this. It saddens me. I hope McCain suffers another stroke.

I am so sick of hearing people complain about religion not being an issue, in my book it should be the MAIN issue. This country (over 230 years ago)thought it was so important, that it is in OUR BILL OF RIGHTS. Freedom to have it or not, and freedom to vote on it or not. With issues such as abortions and right to live and stem cell research and radicals attacking our country, I am glad religion is an issue

To all you Romney supporters, remember what Romney said this week: "The first rule in politics is 'no whining'".

Also, to all you conservatives, don't be stupid. There is nothing conservative about Mitt Romney.

He supports a bailout for Detroit (not conservative).

He rails on McCain for not supported the Medicare expansion (not conservative).

He implemented a Kennedy-style mandatory-coverage universal health care plan for Massachusetts (not conservative).

He raised fees and did not cut expenses in Massachusetts as Governor (not conservative).

He actively courted gay and lesbian voters in his previous elections (not conservative).

He actively courted pro-choice voters in his previous elections (not conservative).

So why is he conservative? Is it because he's a rich, country-clubber? Does that make him a conservative?

Think people.

This is all confusing. I don't like McCain, I like Romney somewhat. Huck seems to fit the bill but I want someone who can beat Barack Hussien Obama. I am going to my caucus tonight.

37% of WV votes for Huck and he wins. This is the only way Huck could beat Romney anywhere without dropping a mormon slur or two to appeal to evangelicals like in Iowa.

Michael McCarthy Nashua NH — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:32:02 GMT

It's not just sour grapes, the McCain voters were instructed to back Huckabee in the second ballot. They worked together to torpedo Romney. Romney should have won. My point here is that in a general election, there will be no third party for McCain to rely on when he has to go up against the Democrat nominee. This is a strategy designed to fail.

I find it interesting that there is such a big deal made out of Huchabee winning in West Virginia, but no press given to Romnee for winning Maine over the weekend. The delegates allotted were the same, it's an equal victory with unequal press. Another example of media bias against Romney. If a bunch of Liberal Democrats are trying to convince you to vote for McCain (that's what you're doing by voting for Huckabee), do you really think that's a good idea? It'd be like the Red Sox taking draft advice from the Yankees.

If what "MK" above said is even remotely true, then the McCain campaign needs to be brought up on vote tampering charges.

A campaign cannot overtly order or ask that their supporters change their vote preference in the middle of an active caucus. The decision to switch or not must be left up to the voters themselves.

If this allegation is true, then McCain really is the back door dealer I always thought him to be.

This is exactly how a Caucaus works. I admire the McCain team in WVA for being smart enough to make it happen.
I hope Rush Limbaugh just popped another boil on his arse in frustration.

A lot of you do not make sense. Why doesn't Romney get out of the race so that Huckabee unites the consevative vote. Sounds silly doesn't it?
If Romeny wasn't such a flip-flopper and conservatives believed in him then Huckabee would be a nonissue.
