Mary Matalin, former Fred Thompson campaign official warned that, on Super Tuesday, “A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.”
If you need proof, here it is:
Huckabee Wins All 18 W.Va. DelegatesFred Thompson supporters may recall that Huckabee stole Fred's early thunder in the presidential race with his media generated blitz of folksy humor in debates. Now, Huckabee's willingness to collude with McCain to block the only viable conservative alternative to McCain should open some eyes to the dark side of Huckabee's political persona.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Mike Huckabee won the first contest declared on Super Tuesday, picking up all 18 national delegates awarded at West Virginia's state GOP convention.
Huckabee bested Mitt Romney, who entered the Mountain State event with the largest bloc of pledged convention-goers. Both men and Ron Paul made in-person appeals to the more than 1,100 convention delegates attending Tuesday's convention.
But the former Arkansas governor beat his Massachusetts counterpart after delegates for John McCain defected to his side.
The first round of voting at the state convention produced no winner, but eliminated Paul after his fourth-place finish.
The results are the first from the 21 states with GOP primaries or caucuses Tuesday.
