Quarter of IN, NC Primary Voters Vote Against McCain

By Duane Lester • May 7th, 2008

McCain already has the Republican candidacy wrapped up as far as delegates go. But in yesterday’s primary, a quater of Republican voters voted against McCain. In Indiana, Mike Huckabee pulled down 12% of the vote, followed by Ron Paul with 8%. In North Carolina, Huckabee nabbed 10%, and Paul received another 8%.

What does this all mean? At least a quarter of the Republican base is still not accepting John McCain. And Johnny Mac isn’t doing anything to endear himself to those voters. If he continues rejecting them, they will stay home and he will lose to Barack Obama.

Duane Lester A one-man political wrecking machine, Duane was not always such a strong conservative. He did not always see things from through the filters of a right wing/libertarian belief system. Now he does. Duane grew up in the midwest, the son of two staunch Democrats. He served in the military overseas and has since moved back to the Midwest after touring around the world. He has a wife and four children. He has a big head. I’m tired of writing in the third person. God bless America.
