Who Derangement Syndrome?

Romney Derangement Syndrome lands in West Virginia where, thanks to John McCain, Mike Huckabee has won the state’s 18 delegates.

Here’s how it played out. Romney won the first round of balloting at the convention but since he didn’t win a clear majority, the vote went to a second round. McCain ordered his delegates to vote for Huckabee, giving him the win. The Ron Paulbots followed and aced out Romney.

Jim Geraghty says that McCain’s delegates “decided” to vote for Romney, but Fox News (via The Carden Chronicles) told a different story. The marching orders from Johnny Mac went out on the floor and the delegates did as they were told. That wasn’t “deciding”, it was acting on orders. But don’t accuse them of collusion. No, sir. Folks like me have been accused recently of suffering from McCain Derangement Syndrome, but let me just say that there’s only one candidate thwarting another candidate out of sheer class hatred and it ain’t the guy I’m backing.

You tell me who the hater is.

Ace has the same story and a couple other links. The comments are quite interesting, too.

I’m reminded of a recent political quote from another candidate: You don’t have to fall in love. You just have to fall in line.

Snap to it, Republicans. Your master is calling.
