What percent did McCain when in those primaries? Was it not an overwhelming percentage? And what percentage of voters were labeled independent? And of that percentage, what percentage voted for McCain? I know the independent vote might have shifted the figures a few points, but McCain had it in the bag regardless I thought?
The first few were close and he didn’t really do so well butI know once the independents and left-leaning republicans helped get him rolling it was pretty much over.

I think the Huckster would have been solid. He knows how to communicate (has his own show). But my personal favorite republican was Ron Paul, which technically he isn’t a republican either. A bit of a loon
Ditto to all that. I’m not really sure why Ron Paul keeps running on our ticket because both parties can agree that his ideas are pretty far out in left field. He does have a monster online campaign though, one that might have rivaled Obama’s.
