Huckabee wins WV - let the chaos commence

So Huckabee won the first repub contest today.
Is it okay for me to laugh deviously at this information? It is a little unclear to me whether or not this is in the end a good thing - Huckabee's potential sticking around in the repub race. It would take votes away from Romney, i suppose, making McCain that much more dangerous...
But on the other hand,
if he does stick around that will make it much harder for McCain to pull the party together. If McCain cleans up today, he can start acting like the nominee and he can start the backpedaling and pandering to get those sweaty hands on the movement conservatives, theocons, etc. If Huckabee sticks around, those folks have someone else to rally behind and McCain will have less time to get organized and get his story straight if he does eventually win the nom.
Either way, it tickles me to think the repub race could be even cloudier after today.
Maybe not diary-worthy, but it was OT pretty much everywhere else and i wanted my chance to say MUAHAHAHAHA!
