Huck Carries The Day! (In West Virginia Anyway)

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Mike Huckabee has carried the day on Super Tuesday! Oh wait, this just in... he's only carried West Virginia, and wait just one minute, news is coming down the wire that it could be the result of an illicit Washington "backroom deal."

"Unfortunately, this is what Sen. McCain's inside Washington ways look like: He cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Gov. Romney's campaign of conservative change," read a statement from Romney campaign manager Beth Myers.

Oh, so the Romney guy is behind all of these allegations, huh? I see. It is alleged that Senator John McCain's people have cut a deal with ex-Razorback governor Mike Huckabee's people to stave off any chance for a Romney victory in West Virginia today. (Huckabee won the support of 52 percent of the GOP convention delegates for that state while Mitt Romney walked with 47 percent. Senator McCain will receive 1 percent). Well what does old Huck himself have to say about all this?

"I thought he was saying yesterday, 'No whining.' So is it no whining or whining? He can't even keep a straight answer on the 'whining or no whining' question."

That's it! Get 'em Huck! Why would that evil empire of a campaign staff of Mitt Romney's rain on Mike Huckabee's parade. That's likely the end of the victory celebrations for him today. Unless of course he pulls off a surprise upset in American Samoa. They will also be counting ballots today and tonight with 24 other states in what amounts to a virtual national primary. Things are just warming up and Mike Huckabee is feeling good:

"It gives us some real wind to our backs as we go into tonight," the former Arkansas governor said after casting his own ballot in Little Rock.

And good for him. But Mike, you may want to check your pants, the wind at your back may have been self-induced.
