The numbers say it best. McCain lost every Congressional district in the state. The best he managed was a tie in one small county. He is the default nominee and cannot carry safe upper middle class GOP burbs against a second tier candidate who doesn't poll well outside his evangelical and home school core.
Yes, it all essentially doesn't count. McCain will be nominated regardless of how many small state caucuses he loses. However he will not be elected President if the core GOP vote stays home on him. McCain beat a lackluster field by luck and local rules on who could vote and how the delegates were apportioned. After melting down last summer he played a bad hand well. However he is on track to repeat Dole's pathetic 1996 race.Labels: McCain still cannot win Republican votes
