Well, about a third of our people walked out.. and some of them went with Romney. It was pretty disorganized. My theory would have required us to stay and been more fluid.

Theory? Quit stating things as fact.

Huck has a soft spot for Paul after the CNN Reagan debate. Hope he stiffed McCain out of delegates.
Uh, yeah. Theory. We likely don't know or won't know any pledged deals until the convention. If Huck somehow comes 3 shy of getting the nomination, WV will not give us three delegates.
All we know for CERTAIN.. . is that Huckleberry Hound has won 18 delegates from WV.
How it gets divided up, well, we'll see that at the role call. I suspect if Huck's out of the fight by then, then McCain gets a gift for his people defecting. If he's tightly in the fight, nobody gets anything but Huck.

and McCain got all the Credit for Huckleberry's win...true story, it was on the MSM!
Yes and it is clear Ron Paul never had a chance. The others would of teamed up on Paul to prevent a win regardless.
I am waiting until I hear from WV on what happened.
HUCK is NOT going to WIN the WEST! We have a better chance of getting his voters, then McCain does.
If we did indeed, get three national delegates out of a deal, I am happy. I don't want any of the other three as President.
I doubt we would get 3 delegates if our block of delegates did not all vote for Huck. I could be wrong, but I would suspect that would be the required deal to give up national delegates.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 5, 2008
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – In today’s West Virginia Republican State Convention, Republican candidate Ron Paul’s campaign secured three of the 18 national delegates up for grabs.
“Our goal is to secure as many delegates to the national GOP convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul as possible,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. “Securing three delegates in West Virginia is an important step in that direction. We plan on locking up more delegates before the day ends.”
In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, the three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign.
Ron Paul delegates to the state convention swung their support to Huckabee – putting Huckabee over the top – after Congressman Paul was eliminated in the first round of voting. With three national delegates, Ron Paul secured 20 percent of the 18 delegates that were decided at the State Convention.
