In those six states alone, McCain won by large margins and took a total of 309 delegates.

Of all those states, AZ and (soon to come) TX are the only ones that are normally Republican stronghold states. He has done miserably in the "red states" thus far, his wins being Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Florida AFAIR. His big wins have all been in places that he will have no chance of winning come November.

But right now, we are not talking about the general election. That is yet to come. We are talking about the primary and I simply indicated that the other poster was wrong in his assertion.

I am not a McCain fan...but I am also not afraid to see things as they are...and in the Republican primaries thus far the statement that McCane has barley ever won 40% of the vote is simply not accurate.

McCain couldn’t even win his home state [AZ] by a majority. He received 48% of the vote. Compare that to Obama [65%], Hillary [57%], Romney [51%], and Huckabee’s [60%] performance in their home states.
