I was just wondering who you will be voting for? If you are voting for someone other than McCain or Romney, will you be comfortable then throwing your support behind McCain come the General Election?

why wouldn't you vote for Huckabee? I am.

Huckabee has no chance of winning, so if you vote for him, will you be comfortable when McCain is the one running in the General Election?

Huckabee wins all 18 W.Va. delegates

Huckabee Wins All 18 W.Va. Delegates

Already saw that, he will only win in the South

Hope he pulls it off, otherwise we'll have to all vote for Billary cause it will be anybody but McCain.

I voted for McCain, DH voted for Romney, oldest DD voting for Obama.

God save us, if Huckabee is elected President....

Could you imagine? Especially with the person around her who supports him? That's a little telling, about who your supporters are!

OK, that's the punchline. What's the joke?

Poor WVA -- this certainly won't help its reputation.

Looks like Rev. Huckabee's win was "engineered" by McCain supporters who didn't want Romney to take the State.

"In the first contest decided Tuesday, Huckabee won all 18 delegates at the West Virginia GOP convention. Romney had hoped to claim victory there, but with McCain trailing, his backers switched their support to Huckabee to deprive Romney of the win."

It's Super Tuesday Coast to Coast - AOL News

EXACTLY! But to go one step further--I knew one of Huckabee's supporters who was given a job w/ the state that he really was not trained to do. This individual comes from a very odd family (with an exhaustive history of mental health issues, violence, etc.) and frankly, this individual was creepy in a make your skin crawl sort of way. Any respect I would have had for Huckabee disappeared years ago when he appointed this person to a state govt.. job.

While I'm not overly fond of George Bush--I think a lot of his "mistakes" have been because he's easily led/handled by others, and he is most assuredly not an eloquent public speaker. But, Huckabee THINKS he is the right hand of God and it's his job to convert everyone to Christianity...Ummmm...yeah, I'll get off my soapbox now! I really, really, really don't like Huckabee!

Going for a Brokered Convention


Ron Paul Secures Three Delegates in West Virginia State Convention — Ron Paul 2008

: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 17 percent of the 18 delegates that were decided at the State Convention. "

Say what you want but this is a Christian nation. Your money says "in GOD we trust". Your country's pledge "one nation under GOD." Huckabee isn't afraid to show his religion, why does it scare you so much. At least Bush listens to the Lord, Saddam was a bad man and had to be removed. Iran is next. Even if that Liberal McCain somehow manages to win, Iran is still next on the list.

Who are you talking to?

If Bush is listening to the Lord, I think it's time to start listening to Satan.

McCain liberal? Can I get a little of what you're drinking?

Even though Saddam was "a bad man" that is not the reason we invaded them. It was for the simple fact that he refused to continue taking US dollars for oil.

If the Iranian Oil Bourse Opens that is when you will see the US going into Iran. We do not buy our oil from Iran..but the other countries like China does.

Hitler was bad, we got him. Was that wrong too?

You just LOVE stirring the pot don't you

What is truly scary is that I know there are people who actually think and believe like you profess to...there is no room in their narrow little minds for any viewpoint other than their own. Everyone else is wrong and they are right.

I sort of agree with the woman who shall remain nameless that it makes sense for reps to support a Clinton win. In cold hard poltical games, it makes a bit of sense.

Mcain leans to the left, Huckabee is a big government republican and Romney is a political whore (well, I guess that is redundant) who will say whatever it takes to win. If the dems blow this presidential cycle given the crappy job our current President has done and the poor quality of the opposition, they deserve to be extinct as a party.

Obama could turn out to be an adequate President, in reading his web site, I see lots of money going out and no specifics on funding those outlays. I wasn't able to find anything but high level fluff designed to have wide appeal. Can anybody point me to where I can find more details regarding his actual plans?

Where does McCain lean liberal? Not on the war. Not on abortion rights. Not on immigration (unless you're calling Bush liberal as well).

The New Media Journal | The Good Fight Against Liberal McCain by Joan Swirsky
(I am sure you can confirm most of these things listed with google search.)

McCain has always been a darling of the liberals, having for decades both embraced and cosponsored – with the farthest-left members of Congress – a frightening number of leftist policies. To name but a few:

▪ The anti-First-Amendment (free speech) fiasco of the McCain-Feingold bill.


▪ The amnesty-for-illegal-aliens, open-borders McCain-Kennedy bill. Now, in true flip-flopper fashion, the man who boasts of not changing positions says he doesn’t support the legislation he himself proposed!


▪ The so-called global warming McCain-Lieberman bill, which would impose a cap on industrial CO2 emissions at the cost of a $660 billion to $2.1 trillion tax and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs to Americans.


▪ Consistent rejection of drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to create energy independence.

▪ Opposition to the Death Tax's repeal in 2002.


▪ One of only two Republicans to oppose President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts because, like liberals, he said they favored the rich (they didn’t), which he then voted to extend – talk about flip-flopping!


▪ Promotion of the McCain-Kennedy-Edwards Patients Bill of Rights. Translated: the trial-lawyers’ bill of rights.


▪ Leading the “Gang of 14” that served to boondoggle appointments of conservative appellate judges.


▪ Demonization of energy, oil, pharmaceutical and media companies.


▪ Serious consideration to being John Kerry’s running mate in 2004, all the while slandering the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who reminded the electorate of Kerry’s phony “heroism” and traitorous post-Vietnam testimony before Congress.


▪ Opposition to Guantanamo and support of constitutional rights for terrorists.


▪ Incredibly, describing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito as “too conservative,” although, in classic flip-flop fashion, he voted for him.


▪ The filing of a brief in the Supreme Court, with several Democrats, against the Wisconsin Right to Life organization, challenging its right to run informative ads prior to an election.

McCain certainly leans left and I wouldnt want to vote for him...but if it comes to it in a general election, I guess I will have to...even if its just to cancel out one Democratic vote!!lllllololololol Sherri

McCain may not be considered conservative because he opposes torture.

Obviously, we'll disagree, but it's clear to me that many of his positions have been grossly misstated in this piece. Not that I'd consider most of those stances to be liberal, anyway. I mean, BUSH is in favor of amnesty -- do you consider him a liberal?

So how many delegates did Ron Paul get? I couldnt find a story other that the three WV...

Wow, The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were proven liars on every one of their claims. How can you call this slander? What, pray tell, was traitorous about Kerry's testimony before Congress and on what planet could it have been considered traitorous?

I almost wish that the "nuclear option" had gone through. It would be be great if Republicans were un able to filibuster.

McCain has a lot of support on both sides of the aisle for closing Guantanemo.

I did not say I agreed with the list ..only was answering the question why some considered McCain to be a liberal.
McCain-Feingold [on campaign finance]; McCain-Kennedy [on immigration], is what some people view as liberal.

The only thing I found was on CNN that he had 16 official delegates, that does not include the 3 from WV...they can not be counted yet as official. As always very hard to find a mention of him in the media.

I am shocked he done as well as he managed to do with the media blackout. Also all the "dirty" tricks of different campagins (and even poll workers) calling/telling people them that Paul and Huckbee had dropped out the night before.

Ron Paul
Nevada placed 2nd
Louisiana placed 2nd (no deleg. award yet for anyone)
Montana placed 2nd
Maine placed 3rd
Utah placed 3rd
North Dakota placed 3rd
Alaska placed 3rd
