That’s still a plurality for McCain after Thompson, Guiliani and some other guys were out of the race.
My point stands: Even on Super Tuesday when the field was thin, McCain can’t get a majority of Republican Votes.
Yea yea.. and the next primary vote when he does top well over 50% of the vote, are you going to continue this rediculous claim?
McCain has won by getting more REPUBLICAN votes than anyone else, in a field of 3 he trounced the competitors my friend.
TO claim that 43% of the votes in a 3 way race is symbolic that McCain can’t get votes is nonsense.
Romney is gone.. care to take a guess how many of Romney’s voters will now go to McCain?, and how many will go to Mitt? I guarantee you McCain will get far more of the vote than Huck.
The assumptions by those here that those who planned on voting on someone other than McCain are all as rabid as they are against McCain is nonsense. Mitt was few persons first choice, and Huckabee has no chance of anything signficant.
