I'm sure the MSM will jump right on this.
McCain, presumptive nominee, with no other republican actively campaigning against him, seems to be having some competition after all. In fact, over 20% of republicans in Indiana, N.Carolina, and Pennsylvania voted for someone else.
Here are the numbers:
Indiana
McCain 77%
Huckabee 10%
Paul 8%
Romney 5%
N.Carolina
McCain 73%
Huckabee 12%
Paul 8%
No Preference 4%
Pennsylvania
McCain 73%
Huckabee 11%
Paul 16%
Recently there has been news of the GOP, in states like Texas and Missouri, having to go to extremes to keep the Ron Paul supporters from taking over their state conventions. I live here in Missouri and I can tell you Ron Paul still enjoys strong suppport among the republicans. Our state went for Obama in the primary and will be competitive in November for the very reason of Ron Paul. McCain is not liked by the GOP here and he has a lot of ass kissing to do if he wants to win our state.
To sum up, McCain has problems with his own party seperate from his policies etc.
