An embarrassing statistic for St. McCain...
Granted, he's the favorite to take the GOP nomination at this point, which by all accounts is like being valedictorian in summer school, but he couldn't even muster 50% of the Republican votes in his home state of Arizona...
John McCain 47%
Mitt Romney 34%
Mike Huckabee 9%
Ron Paul 4%
Rudy Giuliani 3%
UPDATE: Once again, Democratic turnout broke records and bodes very well for us in November...
2nd UPDATE: Some more interesting turnout stats from CNN's resident curmudgeon, Jack Cafferty:
Here is perhaps the most fascinating statistic coming out of Super Tuesday: out of 14 and a half million votes cast in the Democratic race, only 53 thousand separated Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, that’s according to Time magazine.
And in case you’re interested: in the 19 states where both Democrats and Republicans had elections yesterday, there were 73% more Democratic voters than Republican voters – 14 plus million for Clinton and Obama to 8 plus million for John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
