Ron Paul got 15% of the vote in Oregon

And you know what? McCain's 85% showing in Oregon is his best outing all year.

If you go here, you see that McCain has failed to win a majority in nearly half of the primaries and even at a time when he was the presumptive nominee, he still can't win convincingly -- 22% of Kentucky voters wanted somebody else as late as yesterday.

This is the story that's going unreported. A third party campaign by Rob Barr would be an electoral disaster for the Rebublicans.

You can make a donation to Barr's campaign here.

2. Because the Democrats' in-fighting is more public

As soon as we have a candidate, they're start paying attention to McCain's lack of support.

3. My neigbor had a Ron Paul sign in his yard - now Obama supporter

During the Texas Primary, an Obama sign appeared in his yard - next to the Ron Paul sign. After the Texas primary, the Ron Paul sign was removed and the Obama sign remains! I was really shocked, since he's always supported Ron Paul - at least 20 years. I'll take any vote I can get!

5. Driving through rural NW Illinois last weekend...

Lots of Ron Paul signs still out there. Granted, even if Paul got 100% of the vote in this area, it wouldn't make a dime's bit of difference -- very sparsely populated.

6. McCain is the war-loving, corporate MSM's candidate. They overstate his popularity. n/t
