Is there a beauty contest vote in WV?

[TheGlobalizer]

I wonder where Paul's supporters will go?

Home.  :-P

Woohoo!  I hate Huckabee, but at least it keeps the race in play.  No coronation of McCain yet.

This was a McCain victory because it was his supporters who gravitated over to Huckabee to prevent a Romney win.

Strategically, yes.  To the unsophisticated observer, McCain finished 3rd, and Huckabee is emboldened.  Most Americans are unsophisticated observers.

While to the sophisticated observer, McCain still finished 3rd, but Huckabee wasn't emboldened at all, since he lost to Romney in what should really be one of his most natural states.

He didn't lose to Romney.  All of the press is saying "Huckabee wins WV".

Yeah, that's why I said "sophisticated".

Ah, you're right.  I misread what you said.  Agreed.
