CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are bringing their Republican presidential campaigns to West Virginia to try to sway those attending Tuesday's state GOP convention.

Their campaigns say Romney and Huckabee each plan to appeal personally for the 18 national delegates up for grabs.

Ron Paul announced earlier that he would also attend the Charleston convention. Front-runner John McCain is sending former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer on his behalf.

West Virginia's convention is among the Republican primaries or caucuses being held in nearly two dozen states tomorrow. Overall, more than 1,000 delegates to the GOP national convention will be decided, with West Virginia posting the first results of the day.

West Virginia's convention will be decided by more than 1,200 state delegates. Romney has the most of any candidate, with 210 signed up to support the former Massachusetts governor. Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, has the next-largest delegation at 138.

Vote Ron Paul! Huckabee is a religious zealot who will ruin this country. McCain and Romney are both dishonest. Ron Paul is the only candidate that can actually win against Obama (the other candidates would push too many Republicans to vote democrat). Go to http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ to find out more about him.
