The process for the allocation of the state’s delegates is a bit convoluted. County conventions were held across the state to select the 1,207 delegates for the state convention. These delegates in turn will vote today. The winner gets all 18 of the state’s 30 delegates at stake today—nine delegates will awarded based on the results of the state’s primary in the spring; three are at-large. An interview with John McCutcheon, a state consultant for Mitt Romney, made clear why he is expected to win easily. “We have had the only organizational presence in West Virginia to speak of,” said John McCutcheon, a state consultant for Mr. Romney. “It’s all Romney all the time.”
