huckabee wins!

west virginia, that is! and with a little help from john mccain. cbs marketwatch:

romney was defeated when mccain and huckabee ganged up on him. huckabee won 18 delegates from west virginia to the convention in st. paul on sept. 1-4. the state will elect 12 more delegates in a traditional primary in may…

huckabee won 52% of the votes on the second ballot. romney had 48%.

in the first ballot, romney had 41%, huckabee had 33%, mccain had 16% and ron paul had 10%. on the second ballot, mccain's campaign urged its voters to switch to huckabee, prompting the romney campaign to complain that mccain had "cut a washington backroom deal."

we can understand why cbs marketwatch is watching the election rather than the market:

also, as of this writing, cnn is calling georgia for obama.

Labels: democrats, gop, huckabee, mccain, obama, prez campaign, romney

I'm voting for Huck because of the fair tax. The Fair Tax is such a great system. It makes so much sense for America at this point in our history; increasing productivity, encouraging moving up in the income brackets, and making taxes simpler for all. I found a great petition telling Congress to look into the fair tax, and, as we gain more signatures, money is donated to the fair tax cause.

We need to tell America to make this important change. We need to speak out!
