Well, they just got telephones three years ago, so I think that's a bit much to ask right now.

Recent Polls: There are no recent polls from West Virginia, but of the 1207 total delegates heading to the state's convention on Tuesday, Romney already has 210 pledged to him. Huckabee is next in line with 138, followed by Ron Paul with 95. McCain only has 15, but many of the 166 delegates pledged to Thompson or Giuliani have said they will support the senator on Tuesday.
Democratic In-State Fundraising: Clinton: $226,393; Obama: $24,315.
Republican In-State Fundraising: Romney: $31,356; McCain: $21,292.
Endorsements: Charleston Mayor Danny Jones has endorsed John McCain. Both of the state's senators (Robert Byrd and John D. Rockefeller, IV) are Democrats, as is Governor Joe Manchin, so there aren't a lot of high-stakes Republican endorsements to be had.
Analysis: West Virginia will have their convention results in as early as 12:30EST, making it one of the first reporters on Super Tuesday. State officials believe that this will give West Virginia a real influence in the national sphere. Romney, Huckabee, and Ron Paul all plan to personally attend the convention tomorrow to shill for votes. The conventional wisdom is that West Virginia is a wildcard this year.

I think they're still rioting about Coach Rodriguez leaving, and they forgot there's an election.

Huckadork gets the WV win in the second round, thanks to collusion with the McCain camp.

"But before Huckabee’s surprising turnaround at the convention, McCain delegates told FOX News they had been instructed by the campaign to throw their support to Huckabee.

McCain delegate John Vuolo said former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer approached him and other McCain supporters at the convention and told them he had spoken to McCain, and that the best thing to do was to support Huckabee in the hope that Huckabee could beat Romney in this winner-take-all state.

That account could add fuel to Romney’s claim that Huckabee is only undercutting his support base on Super Tuesday, and that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. That’s a claim Huckabee has fiercely denied."

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
