Ron Paul Gets 3 National Delegates from West Virginia
Posted by Eric A. Garris at February 5, 2008 01:55 PM
The media is reporting that Huckabee won all 18 delegates at the West Virginia state Republican convention, but...
After Ron Paul's 10% showing on the first convention ballot, his name was dropped out of the running for ballot #2. The Ron Paul people went to Huckabee and made a deal to get 3 of the 18 national delegates in exchange for throwing their votes to Huckabee. On the second ballot, Huckabee got 52%, and Ron Paul gets 3 of his national delegates. Not a bad trade for 10%.
