Winners?

Comments Off

Can we really call these folks winners? (Data from RealClearPolitics.com).

McCain won with a majority in only three (3) states: NY (51%), NJ (56%), and CT (52%). In states where McCain won with a plurality:

  • California: 56% voted otherwise.
  • Illinois: 52% voted otherwise.
  • Missouri: 67% voted otherwise.
  • Arizona (his home state!): 53% voted otherwise.
  • Oklahoma: 63% voted otherwise.
  • Delaware: 55% voted otherwise.

Huckabee won with a majority in two (2) states: AR (62%) and WV (52%). In states where Huck won with a plurality:

  • Georgia: 66% voted otherwise.
  • Tennessee: 66% voted otherwise.
  • Alabama: 59% voted otherwise.

Romney won with a majority in three (3) states: MA (51%), UT (89%), and CO (60%). In states where Romney won with a plurality:

  • Minnesota: 58% voted otherwise.
  • North Dakota: 64% voted otherwise.
  • Montana: 62% voted otherwise.

And, as predicted, Ron Paul won nothing nowhere. Sorry, folks. He did best in MN (15%), ND (21%),  and MT (25%).

This little post again demonstrates the need for Instant Runoff Voting, which I learned about from Michael Bates. He discussed it recently in this post.
