In West Virginia today Romney took 41% of the vote in the first balloting.
Now if it was normal primary this would have given him West Virginia's 18 delegates. However WV runs caucuses.
Huckabee came in second and McCain third. If you don't place in the top three you're out, so Paul got dropped.
In the second string of balloting McCain voters voted against Romney by going for Huckabee giving Huck the 51% needed to win the caucus.
West Virginia with 18 delegates goes to Huckabee.
Who was the real winner? John McCain.
