The Romney campaign is saying Johnny Mac did a dope deal with the Huckabee campaign and that is how he won West Virginia. Maybe (though there is no evidence as yet), but that's the way politics is, I thought. "I hereby support so-and-so and urge my supporters to get behind him...blah, blah, blah."
I realize that it would be different since it would be a front-runner doing it behind the scenes and could well be deemed shady to a point, but I don't see it as that big of a deal, really. People can vote for whoever they want and, if McCain's people said something to the effect of "Look, we can't win here in West Virginia, but we can beat Romney," it seems like a fair, tactical choice.
