pparets,

At this point in the primary season (with McCain having locked up the nomination) a lot of Republicans probably stayed home, some no doubt heeded Rush’s call, and for those that remained, a protest vote was cheap.

Ceterum censeo Parthia esse delendam
Latin: “Furthermore, Parthia (Persia aka modern day Iran) should be destoyed”

Or was this a not-so-subtle vote against the senator from Arizona?

I’ve heard that from a few Pennsylvanians.

Ugh.  Ron Paul is such a pest.  He’s going to be another Ralph Nader

Maybe McCain will take it as a wakeup call and realize he has to attract conservative voters rather than take them for granted.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Whistler:  You think conservatives would vote for Ron Paul, 21%, over Huckabee, 6%?

The stakes are high. Whether the issue is the economy, or energy, or the federal courts or national security, the right answers are coming not from the Democrats, but from the Republicans.

I would judge Paul to be in some ways more conservative regarding fiscal matters and the intrusiveness of government. 

Huckabee’s record is a tax raising busy body.

Paul’s problem is that he’s a nut, but he is right on some things.

McC’s 25 year record of stabbing his own Party in the back is not lost on many voters. Simply giving a speech will not abrogate 25 years of backstabbing. There it is.

Una Salus Victus Nullam Sperare Salutem

I wouldn’t put too much weight on this.  I’m not planning to go to the polls, too much work for a what’s become a LONG foregone conclusion. 

Rodney’s right, protest vote is cheap.  I think the protest votes against McCain will die down more as Obama and Clinton ratchet up their plans for presidency.  McCain never looked as good to me before as he does now when those other two speak.
