Well, it turns out that there were 238 votes cast in my county alone for Mike. Here is the full vote count in that race:
100 of 100 Counties Reporting
Percent
Votes
Mike Huckabee (REP)
12.17%
63,061
Alan Keyes (REP)
2.63%
13,631
John McCain (REP)
73.99%
383,401
Ron Paul (REP)
7.22%
37,392
No Preference (REP)
3.99%
20,667
518,152
As you can see, there were several that were no preference and I believe most just voted for McCain because they thought they had no other legitimate choice. So if Mike would have stayed in the race actively, he would have had an incredible shot of winning the state of NC!! I must admit I was surprised there wasn't a higher number of votes for Ron Paul because everywhere I go I see signs for him. So, all in all, it was a great day for Mike here in NC. I'm not sure how many delegates he'll pick up for that but he's still high on everyone's list. A great reason why McCain should pick him as his VP!
