Ok… I missed that. It wasn’t terribly clear in your original remark.

The links you give are for delegates to the national convention (projected). The figures I show are just for delegates to the WVa state GOP convention.

bbartlog: Those delegate numbers of yours were so wild I had to wonder. Not surprised they come from the mothership.

There’s disparity even between these two sources:

Once again I find myself agreeing with bbartlog!

It’s easy when I’m just doing the play-by-play. Wait ’til I actually offer an opinion, you’ll have plenty to disagree with me about

Second-hand, from here. They don’t appear to be very good in hindsight – they show 1207 delegates and only 1133 voted in the first round, so who knows. But they’re roughly consistent with other reports I’ve seen.

For what it’s worth, it sounds like Paul *also* helped out Huckabee. At least, I see a report that he traded his block of voters for 3 national delegates (see here, read the blog entries…).

Once again I find myself agreeing with bbartlog! Has the world gone MAD?

With the West Virginia result it’s clear there is collusion between McCain and Huckabee. Those kinds of actions are NOT taken without direction from on high.

P.S. bbartlog: Where did you get those delegate numbers?

“He has precisely the same resume as the nuckle-head in office now except he did not fail at all of his businesses as W did.” by CentFla.

I know this is a bit off topic, but how is President Bush a “nuckle-head”?? And, his businesses? I think you might need to use your spell check next time, by the way. It’s “knucklehead”.

I don’t think it’s likely that it will be Huckabee and Romney, and I don’t see that everyone committed to McCain will go to Huckabee.

Well, you haven’t been following this one as closely as I have. And it did come down to Mitt and Huck, and McCain did throw his votes to Huckabee.

The last poll in Colorado was done awhile ago, may be six weeks. Anyway, Rudy and Mitt were running even, with a slight advantage to Mitt, and McCain running a very distant third. When Rudy dropped out last week, there was a feeling most of his support went to Mitt. Simply, there’s a strong dislike for McCain here, particularly in the sizeable active and retired military community.

The one who has invested big in advertising is Ron Paul. Of course, his ads are nonsense, especially his tag line of that “tent cities” have sprung next to neighborhoods that are full of foreclosures. The implicit line is that “it’s the President’s fault” on the foreclosures. “Yeah, Bush pressed the foreclosure button on his desk, just like he pressed the Hurricane Katrina button.”

I would be surprised if McCain wins here in Colorado.

Mike, I’m in the 60-70% category.
