McCain’s victory not a complete one in Pennsylvania

Source: The Daily and Sunday Review; Towanda Pa.

Assured of the Republican presidential nomination months ago, Arizona Sen. John McCain cruised to a dominating victory in the party’s Pennsylvania primary election last week.But a lot of Republicans didn’t vote for him.

More than a quarter voted for either U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who had 15.9 percent of the vote, or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who had 11.3 percent. McCain had the other 72.8 percent.

Paul and Huckabee, listed on the ballot long before McCain earned enough delegates to presumptively claim the nomination, remained there for the Pennsylvania primary.

It suggests that a portion of GOP voters were dissatisfied with Mr.McCain as the Republican nominee, raising fears they might stay home or even back a Democrat in the fall election.

Funny. . This isn't getting much play in that damn "librul media".

The Republicans do not like McCain. They will stay home unless they get to vote against Hillary.

They don't like McCain. They won't like him one bit more if Hillary is running.

The sexist bigotry you're talking about right now is projection. You're writing about what you would do in their place.

About what you HOPE they'll do...

Another charmer for Obama.

All those diseffected Republican assholes that despise Hillary who would otherwise sit home will come out in droves against her, they've been conditioned to it. They'll suck it up and vote McCain if it meant they can thwart their arch nemesis. We need to stop pretending here. They will sit by and just let it happen if it's anyone else.

For the record, and not giving a fuck whether you believe or not, I couldn't care less about her gender. I just want the best person for the country. I wanted Clark or Gore to run and supported Edwards before all this. I am by no means an Obamaniac.

I'm just stating what I think the implications of your post are.

and they don't have a means to fix it. Everybody decries the lengthy Dem Primary, but at least each state gets a voice. The people in PA who are Republicans were essentially told that McCain is the nominee, so deal with it. Those Ron Paul supporters won't be voting for McCain. Ron Paul's political philosophy is the complete opposite of McCain's. I think this is great news for Democrats in general. The Republican Party undermined and tried to sabotage Ron Paul's candidacy, but his supporters aren't going to cooperate with their corrupt party system. There is some video on youtube of the TX and NV Republican conventions showing an undemocratic bias against Ron Paul supporters.

to prevent the Paulies from taking over. The Paulies had the numbers. This story is getting NO PLAY in the press.. just like Paul's huge money reserves did not buy him airtime or access to the Repug debates before McCain was crowned...

Corpomedia will NOT highlight any dissension in the ranks of their wholly owned subsidiary, the Republican Party.

to the corruption of the GOP. The Republican Party along with the Fixed Noise Network decided that they couldn't allow any Republican candidates to participate if that didn't support the Iraq War. Here's part of a Faux News Debate where they didn't even try to hide their disdain for Ron Paul:

By the time California voted in 2004, Kerry was indisputably the nominee, but I voted for Kucinich because I was dissatisfied with Kerry and wanted to send a message about the direction I wanted Kerry to take his campaign. There was never a thought I'd stay home for the general election, or worse back someone other than the Democratic nominee; I just wanted to send a message about the type of government I prefer. So all these people who didn't vote for McCain don't, necessarily, signal that these Republican voters will abandon their nominee. It could just be, like me, they'd prefer their party platform have a different emphasis than it presently appears it will have.
