25% of Republicans Voted Against McCain in Indiana and North Carolina Primaries

I know it has flown under the radar, and for good reason, but the Republicans also held primaries in Indiana and North Carolina today. You would think that because John McCain is the Republican nominee he would gather at least 90% of all Republicans who bothered to vote in an already decided primary. That is not the case however.

As you can see John McCain only averaged about 75% of the Republican vote in these two states. So what does this mean? Probably not much, it seems to me that Republicans are sending a message to the turncoat that they have their eyes on him. Leary Republicans just want John McCain to know that they are dissatisfied with him as the nominee and he better watch his step.

I would guess that most of these people will turn around and vote for McCain in the general election, other than the Ron Paul supporters who I would bet will vote for Ron Paul in the general even if they have to write him in. As of right now I have to admit I am considering writing in Ron Paul myself.

Conservatives are sending a message to John McCain but will he listen? I doubt it, after all where will these voters go if they don’t vote for McCain? He knows that they have to vote for him if they want to avoid a Clinton or Obama presidency so he will continue to shun conservatives as he tries to win moderates and independents.

John McCain has been shitting on conservatives for eight years, what’s another six months?
