If you look at the Romney, Hunter, Fred (and probably half of the Huckabee votes), what you have is the core of the core of the Republican party refusing to support McCain.
It does not bode well for McCain, really.
I am a big Republican supporter; the kind that flies candidates around and hosts dinners. (Went to one for Cornyn the other day, in fact -— got my pic with the VP, which is really why I went.)
I won’t give McCain a penny. I doubt I will vote for the man. (I might if it mattered, but given that he’ll still lwin in Texas, I’ll vote for someone else.)
Just a lowly peon here...LOL...but the other races, such as Cornyn’s, were the reason I thought it was foolish for anyone to cross over and vote on the Dem ticket. Some of the Republican races were pretty tight here and immigration enforcement was a factor in one of those races (Nathan Macias/Doug Miller). Looks like Props 1 & 2 on immigration enforcement and voter IDs passed overwhelmingly, which is great news. But you are right, McCain should not consider the Texas vote a mandate any more than Perry should for his 39%, but be assured that his arrogance will win out as it has with Perry, so we must keep a fire under him to do the right thing.
