Actually, the deal that was done was with Ron Paul supporters, who will get 3 seats at the convention. That is what huckabee over the top. That is the nature of caucuses.

I'm currently in the Army and deployed to Iraq. It's rather ironic that the "war hero" McCain has less support from the troops than the wealthy mormon with no military blood. I've also recently switched my vote from McCain to Romney because he is the only GOP candidate who has integrity which is the heart of the Republican party. Amen.

Didn't Romney criticize Huckabee for whining?

What does Romney expect when he doesn't hold to any of the principles that our party represents?

McCain has no appeal, he is what is wrong with government. McCain is a Washington special interest insider who has not and will not make a significant difference as president. He has been in government so long that he has lost the capcity to be a viable public servant. I would argue that it is in fact his experience and length of time in government that will be his downfall because he is the posterboy of politics as usual. Romney will pervail in the end because he represents a fresh face and brings new energy to the party much like Reagan did.

Unbelievable the dirty tricks that the Huckster and McCain are playing here, and the worst part is that the American People don't see this and are playing right into it.

This politics at its finest. Mike Huckabee gets 15 and Ron Paul gets 3. The way it really works behind closed doors. Give a little to get a little. Besides, the party establishment hates Paul and Huckabee. I have no problem making common cause to fight the authorities who wish to control the process, limit the choices to one or two establishment men, and pick the party candidate for us. Besides, if Romney and McCain can be locked out of a win, then Ron Paul wins along with Huckabee. I know the MSM will ignore the fact that Ron Paul was a kingmaker in WV, but it is the delegates that matter, and Ron Paul gets 3 delegates! I salute the Huckabee campaign being smart enough to beat Romney to the punch. I am sure the Romney campaign was so arrogant it never occurred to them that they might have to approach the Ron Paul supporters and offer a deal. If Paul does not win or is not the leader in delegates, then a brokered convention makes the delegates of Huckabee and Paul more valuable.

Get a clue, Melinda, Gilbert.
The caucusing is done in front of everyone. These are individual human beings who get to decide who they support. Like as though if I support Kucinich and some Obama supporter told me to go vote for Obama instead I would. Yeah, right. We make up our own minds. Mitt Romney and class do not go together. This man will say ANYTHING and change his mind any number of times to pander to the desired populace.

I have to be honest, it is delicious to see Romney crash and burn. He should run for President of Mormonia, he will win hands down.

I'm a lifelong republican, and If Senator McCain gets the nomination. I will not vote for him. I simply can't do it in good conscience. Google 'veterans agains mccain.' It's obvious that the liberal media are presenting McCain as the front runner so that they can unload their dirt on him once he gets the nomination, effectively fracturing the republican party. And Huck can throw his churchliness in our faces all he wants, but if he's willing to make deals with McCain, there's no way I'd vote for him either.

I just hope the party doesn't enter into its own destruction.

Here's one California vote for Romney. Good luck!

Give me a break! You know full well that Romney won the first round and only by combining Huckabee and Mccains votes was Huckabee able to pull it off. Romney has had to, in a sense, run a campaign of one against two. Huckabee and Mccain are like two bullies on a playground that know they can’t win on their own so they play dirty tricks together to try and take the stronger candidate, Mitt Romney, down. The people of this country are taking notice and will not stand for these kind of low brow tactics and it will be the undoing of both McCain and Huckabee in the end.
Vote for Mitt Romney so that we can have a man of class and integrity running the White House!

Melinda, Gilbert,

First of all, McCain's an "old dog, using an old trick." If you voters are into that type of shenannigan, then vote for McCain. But if ethics and decency matter, Mitt Romney's the man.

On Dole, he's an old fart who has no real contribution to this campaign either way. Wounded in battle doesn't give either Dole or McCain the right to a "smoky back room" trick.
