The Republican primaries have their own story to tell. The Democrats are not the only ones with a bit of controversy. As in the Pennsylvania primary, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul have taken a good percentage of the vote in both North Carolina and Indiana.

With the events that took place is last weeks now suspended and yet to be rescheduled Nevada Republican Convention, it is becoming more evident that there is a good deal of the Republican voters who are not falling in line with the McCain program.

In Indiana, McCain got 77%, Huckabee 10%, Paul 8% and Romney 5%. In North Carolina McCain got 74%, Huckabee, 12%, Paul 7% and 4% had no preference. In every one of the recent primaries, McCain has been losing in the neighborhood of 25%. Yes, these are the die hard supporters of the other candidates, the ones who believe in them whole heartedly and would like to see two things. First they want to see at least some of their ideas on the Republican Platform and second they would like to see their candidates as the Vice Presidential nominee. It is almost like a contest to see which one of them still has the most support and should be listened to as well as being thought of for the second place on the ticket.

For instance, Romney, made an appearance on “American Morning,” on CNN and said nothing against McCain and his policies, but did give the same assessment of Obama, saying he is the weakest of the two Democratic candidates and has not done much of anything during his time in the Senate and Clinton saying they are both flawed, but Obama more so, that McCain has been saying. Just a day after Romney made his appearance, Rasmussen Reports has an article on how good a Vice President Romney would be because of his business experience. Not to mention the fact that he is considered to be very much on the conservative side. Would having Romney on the ticket as vice president make the Paul and Huckabee supporters more inclined to fall in with McCain?

As for McCain, he seems to be getting the idea that he needs to appeal to the more conservative side of the Republican party by doing things like promising to appoint conservative judges. Will he continue by picking a very conservative running mate and include conservative planks in his platform? We will soon see.
