Interesting results
The big story from yesterday’s Primaries voting in PA is obviously Clinton’s victory. However I was looking with interest at the GOP Primaries’ results. It was expected that Ron Paul’s percentage will be higher, due to less general interest among GOP voters, and therefore the 16% were not surprising. What is surprising, however, is that Ron Paul received the highest number of votes in a primary state yet - significantly higher.
I assume that the increase in the votes is partly because protest conservative votes are split between Huckabee and Ron Paul. Additionally it is possible that Paul’s view of the economy get more attention as the prospect of deep recession become more common. And yet I don’t think that these explanations are the complete explanation why more people choose to vote for Ron Paul, now when the “competition” is practically over than when it did mattered.
Any Ideas?

Ron Paul talked and talked and talked about the economy, and no one wanted to listen. I guess he doesn't seem so crazy now, huh?
