Mitt Romney was cruising to a Super Tuesday caucus victory in West Virginia. Then, supporters of Ron Paul and John McCain threw their support behind Mike Huckabee, giving him a close victory over Romney, 52 percent to 47 percent. Reason's David Weigel
has the details:
Paul has been knocked out of the race, and I honestly don't know where
his votes go. Whoever wins the convention gets 18 delegates: Paul and
presumably McCain will get nothing. The Ron Paul Forums people want the conventioneers to vote Huck—how do you like that monkey wrench, gears?—or split.
UPDATE 2:20: I'm hearing the gambit by McCain and Paul backers to go for Huckabee worked. Huckabee's going to win.
UPDATE 2:24: Yes, most of the McCain and Paul voters went for Huckabee on the second ballot. Huckabee wins, 52-47 percent.
