Huckabee wins West Virginia, Ron Paul 2nd.

At least in delegates, that is. Ron Paul was eliminated in the first round of voting, but his supporters cut a deal with Huckabee's where Ron Paul would get 3 of the 18 national delegates in exchange for supporting Huckabee. This put Huckabee over the top for the win. This hurts Romney, who was in WV today, and proves that Huckabee's presence in the race is helping McCain. Of course you can't blame the Ron Paul supporters who picked up some delegates while helping to keep the votes split, which helps their strategy of hoping for a brokered convention. Not much else going on right now.
