In the first results of Super Tuesday, the 18 delegates from the winner-take-all Wester Virginia Caucuses went to Mike Huckabee this recently on the second ballot of voting. The victory came about after McCain’s delegation, which only secured 15% of the votes on the first ballot, swung their support to the Arkansas Governor, who’s percentage jumped from 33% to 52% in the second round.

The series of events in West Virginia  reaffirm the suspicion that Huckabee is staying in the race in order to take conservative voters away from Mitt Romney which necessarily aids John McCain in his campaign for the nomination. One thing to watch for tonight is how conservatives in the south affect the primary results of states such as Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, etc., and if it factors in an overall loss for Mitt Romney on this Super Tuesday.

Of course, you should stay tuned for the New School’s live coverage tonight in order to find out.
