looks like RP got 4th in WV...

[bbachtung]

McCain didn't even show up; the other three did. This is ridiculous. America is pretty much over for me.

 

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

Guys, we had a respectable showing. Keep your heads up.

The GOP is a dying party. Ron would do WAY better in a general election.

Ron Paul wins West Virginia for Huckabee...that should be the headline.

 

[me3]

i wouldn't vote for any of them. it's ron or nobody.

i'd walk out.

And the movement will never get beyond 10% with that attitude.

You should have watched the training videos. This isn't selling out, it's working the convention process to win.

Ron Paul wins West Virginia for Huckabee...that should be the headline.

Bleh, a vote for Huck is a vote for McCain. He is sooo brown nosing for a VP slot. I'll laugh when McCain drops him like a bad habit after taking his delegates.

 

[NoPants]

We want Huckabee to win. If we can't the next best thing is Huckabee. The more spread the field the better. When Huckabee drops out, we can get Huckabee's delegates at the convention.

 

[280Z28]

LOL @ the guy who yelled "It's Huckabee, not Huckleberry!"

 

[NoPants]

I just did some quick math. Right now "Huckelberry" has just barely 51%. That's what they need right? If he can keep it up a few more minutes this will be over in WV.

 

[Ayse]

Looks like a win for Huck in WV...

 

[NoPants]

He's got it. 51.6% Huckabee wins WV.

Bleh, a vote for Huck is a vote for McCain. He is sooo brown nosing for a VP slot. I'll laugh when McCain drops him like a bad habit after taking his delegates.

agree!

 

[NoPants]

McCain got 1%. That's pathetic. If Ron Paul had made it to the 2nd round he would have at least made 12%. His original 118 votes were not going to change but almost all of McCain's 170 something decided to switch over or leave. Nice.

 

[LibertyForever]

I can't wait for the day, when i can laugh in peoples faces and say, i told you so.

McCain voters switched to Huck to keep Mitt from winning.

They know Huck isn't going to win the West.

 

[New Governor Of Alaska]

I am sorry for sounding ignorant but:

This delegate thing does not seem to represent the people's choices, does it? I know they have to dwindle down the nominations (or do they?) but I fail to see how elected delgates speak for the voter?

Can someone help me or is this the same logic as the electoral system?

It was designed on purpose so that people won't elect the "wrong" guy. I think there are only two or threee countries in the world which have this type of system, the other one is in Africa.

Dudes, the huck/mcCain team-up is very bad for us imo

 

[ProBlue33]

Mike - 524
John - 11
Mitt - 479
Second round

 

[Bubba]

brokered convention vatos!!

Double WRONGO!!! If you suppport Ron Paul YOU WOULD NEVER SELL YOUR SOUL AND PLAY THE F'N GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (bumps head against wall repeatedly...)

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

McCain got 1%. That's pathetic. If Ron Paul had made it to the 2nd round he would have at least made 12%. His original 118 votes were not going to change but almost all of McCain's 170 something decided to switch over or leave. Nice.

It isn't pathetic, it's politics. McCain voters jumped ship to vote for Huckabee over Romney. He was way back of both, so they decided to give the win to someone who isn't as big a threat. Pretty smart if you ask me. And McCain had more delegates than Paul, so if McCain's 170 is pathetic, what is Paul's 118?
