Mike Huckabee has just won the first contest of the day: The West Virginia state Republican convention. Rather than choose delegates through a caucus or a primary, roughly 1,200 delegates to the convention were empowered to select 18 federal delegates, with the winner taking all.

Mitt Romney made sure to invest himself into this race, and he personally addressed the gathering this morning along with Huckabee and Ron Paul. But here are the results from the first ballot: Romney 41%, Huckabee 33%, McCain 16%, Paul 10%. The final count: Huckabee 52%, Romney 47%.

Thus, all it took for Huck to win was for the majority of McCain and Paul supporters to swing their votes to Huck, and Romney's hope of getting 18 delegates went down the drain. The bottom line: Not only do the other candidates dislike Romney — their supporters all hate him, too.
