I am a Republican and I did not vote for McCain in the primary, ONLY in the general election.
McCain won the primary because of independents that can vote on either a dem or repub ballot on primary day. Governor Romney had the most republican votes on primary day. I voted for Romney.
By the way what state do you reside in and for whom did you vote for ?
Colorado.
We had caucuses. I was for Romney in the primary and McCain in the general, just like you.
Stupid RNC rules allowed Dems to cross over and vote McCain in some of the primaries. Operation Chaos used against us.
