West Virginia: Huckabee wins Caucus...
As The Page is reporting, there are rumors of a deal between McCain and Huckabee to stop Romney from capturing W. Virginia where he was ahead by 8 votes at the party convention for the delegates. This lends credence to the notion that there might be a McCain-Huckabee ticket come fall, if McCain is indeed the presumptive nominee after tonight.
Huckabee now adds 18 delegates, further making tonight an uphill battle for Romney.
More to come...
Update (3:57 ET): Romney Campaign responds to deal: "Sadly, Senator McCain cut a Washington backroom deal in a way that once again underscores his legacy of working against Republicans."
Update (11:06 ET): Huckabee confirms on MSNBC in an interview with Chris Matthews, saying that there was no deal with the McCain campaign in West Virginia, as was announced by the Romney campaign. Huckabee: "John McCain and I actually believe that politics can be conducted in a civil, gentlemanly way...I know that this may be a shock to the Romney campaign."
