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%.

It’s like Maine. You can’t look at what the MSM reports. They dumb down the results because every state has different rules.
