In most cases, winning nearly 73 percent of the vote would be considered a blowout. But for Senator John McCain it could be cause for concern, given that he has been the presumptive Republican nominee for more than a month now.
Mr. McCain won every county in Pennsylvania in the Republican primary Tuesday — yes, the Republicans had a nominating contest there, too — but former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (who dropped out of the race in March) and Representative Ron Paul of Texas did surprisingly well in some of its most conservative counties.
Overall, according to The Associated Press’s count, Mr. Paul took 15.9 percent in the Pennsylvania G.O.P. primary, with 11.3 percent of Republicans voting for Mr. Huckabee.
Mr. McCain’s worst showing was in Juniata County, near the center of the state. He received only about 59 percent of the vote, while Mr. Paul took nearly 28 percent. In 2004, President Bush won Juniata with 72 percent of the vote.

Why would you not post the entire article so we don't have to give NYT any clicks?
Dr. Paul, come to Nebraska!
130,000 votes would WIN the Nebraska primary.
Any bets about whether he is going to come to NEBRASKA four times?
Of course Ron Paul did
Of course Ron Paul did surprisingly well in PA's most conservative counties, despite the media blackout on him, as he is the only true conservative Republican candidate. As for McCain, he was ready to run against the GOP in 2004 as John Kerry's running mate - I think many people remember that and see his true colors.
Spread the message to NORTH CAROLINA
Call up radio stations and contact other media in North Carolina trying to get the point out that working class conservatives are not falling behind McCain. Or I guess the media thinks John McCain should be hands off for all the Pro-Media Consolidation laws he passed.
Way to go Juniata County!
