February 6, 200818 yr Its not a primary. It's a caucus, so they can play all kinds of games with the delegates. 30 total delegates* 18 tied to February 5 state convention; 9 tied to May 13 primary; 3 unpledged RNC member delegates Todays winner gets all 18 delegates. That's it Lbbc:cool:
February 6, 200818 yr Romney it seems is the only one that believes this happened. The news stations are saying that they believe it is very skeptical that it occurred. McCain called it lies. Huckabee called Romney a whiner. Tucker Carlson said the reporters don't believe it happened but there is the claims of the Romney campaign. I believe the dirty tricks might simply be Romney throwing mud and hoping some sticks.

February 6, 200818 yr WSAZ 3... Ron Paul & McCain's guy did the Interview they said it plainly Huckabee gave 3 delegates.... I saw it with my own eyes or I wouldn't believe it!!!!!!!!
February 6, 200818 yr McCain called Huckabee running-mate. Yep, that's what he's setting himself up for....
February 6, 200818 yr Fox news is reporting that after the first vote Romney won the first vote but did not have a high enough % to claim the victory. So they had to have a 2nd vote and McCain released his delegates from the first vote and encouraged them to vote for Huckabee. On the 2nd vote, Huckabee went over 50% and claimed the victory. Romney's campaign has sent out a robocall to voters saying that Huckabee has no chance to win the election and is just staying in to keep Romney from winning. That they don't need to fall for it and just vote for Romeny. Funny thing is that Romney claims that Huckabee cannot win it but after tonight there might be as many as 5 states that Romney nor anyone else can beat Huckabee in.
February 6, 200818 yr McCain called Huckabee running-mate. And it might be a good strategy for McCain as Huckabee is winning the states that McCain was having a hard time winning. THE SOUTH. And as I was pointing out earlier in the week, no person has won the Presidential election without winning the South in at least 40 years. It will stick in Romney's craw if Huckabee has more delegates than him come tomorrow morning.
February 6, 200818 yr Huckabee can't win. The only thing he is accomplishing is ensuring that McCain is the GOP candidate. If Huckabee was a knowing participant in this, I don't want him as my candidate. If he is being duped into continuing his run, then he's not smart enough to be president. I said a week ago, Huckabee needs to drop out unless he want's McCain to be the GOP candidate.
February 6, 200818 yr Fox News is also reporting that Romney has been pressuring Huckabee to get out of the race cause he does not have a chance to win it. They said that neither side likes the other.

They said that neither side likes the other. Neither has a chance to win it with the other in the race....The difference is, Huckabee doesn't have a chance with or without Romney in the race. Romney would win if Huckabee wasn't there.

I said a week ago, Huckabee needs to drop out unless he want's McCain to be the GOP candidate. I disagree. If he comes out tonight and could have won Oklahoma, Georgia, WV, Alabama, TN, Mo, and Arkansas he would be in a strong 2nd position in the race. And Ohio would be a very winnable state for him. PA a possibility. If he is 2nd in the delegates and holds more than Romney tomorrow morning, why is he less of a candidate than Romney?

No evidence was presented that the robo-calls came from the Romney campaign, only an allegation that was repeated as fact. The Huckabee or McCain campaigns could just as easily had a few calls made and blamed Romney. Huckabee has no chance of winning the nomination. He does well where there are large numbers of evangelicals and that is about it.

On the last sentence, let's see that could include the states I have already mentioned along with TEXAS. A good number of the states that elected Bush into office.

A good number of the states that elected Bush into office. Did Huckabee even bother to visit California? New York? New Jersey? If so, I missed it. Huckabee campaigned almost exclusively in the south and he and McCain did a good job avoiding being in the same place. Romney has waged a national campaign and has the money to continue. Huckabee does not. He was done after South Carolina.
