WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Republican presidential nominating race in West Virginia on Tuesday, defeating John McCain and Mitt Romney in the first of the day's 24 state contests to pick candidates for the November election, U.S. media projected.

Huckabee, a Baptist preacher, aims to do well among states in the South where evangelicals predominate. He spoke to delegates at the West Virginia state Republican Party convention earlier in the day.

Romney led in the first round of voting but did not have the majority needed to secure a win. Huckabee was projected the winner in the second round.

Politico reports that, after Romney failed to get 50% of the vote in the first round (he ended up with 41%), McCain's delegates all shifted to Huckabee to prevent Mittens from winning.
