The first Super Tuesday results are in. Unlike other states, the West Virginia Republicans held their own convention. On the first ballot, Romney led Huckabee but a majority was required and enough McCain and Paul supporters switched to Huckabee so that he won.
West Virginia awards delegates on a winner-take-all basis, so Huckabee picks up all 18 delegates.
No one seems to like Mitt very much.

It's because he told all the caucus-goers that nobody could go to the bathroom until they finished.

A convention? In one place, instead of many local caucuses? Held in the middle of the day?
Yeah, that is...different.

Yep. The fix is in already and the handwriting is on the wall.
