| Ron Paul got at least 128,111 votes, or 16 percent, in the closed Republican Pennsylvania primary yesterday. Paul made four stops in the Keystone State during the month of April and spoke to overflow crowds of young people and other passionate supporters.

...

Paul is continuing his bid for the Republican nomination to spread the message of constitutional government and personal freedom, build the GOP back to its traditional roots and continue the grassroots activism his candidacy inspired. To date, he has received nearly one millions votes in Republican presidential contests and his campaign believes it will carry 50 delegates or more to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis. His new book, “The Revolution, A Manifesto,” launches April 30th.

Linky.

But why the hell did so many Republicans show up anyway? Their race really is over. Really over.

Psssstttt..Ron Paul was never really a GOP Candidate and most of his supporters are not really Republicans. He had no support in the general party. He is a Libertarian who changed his party in his home district because he saw he could never get elected to congress as a Libertarian. Almost of his support in his presendential run came through people who were NOT Republicans before Paul came along. Basically,they tried to take over the party,and failed miserably. A bunch of people voted for Paul in a meaningless GOP primary as a kind of protest..I have no doubt a lot them did so not so much out of support for Paul but out of dislike for McCain.
"Revolution: A Manisfesto"?????
For someone who is a rabid Lasseiz Faire Capitalists,why does Paul sound like freaking Lenin or Mao?

An individual vote rarely makes a difference. As a result of this, many people vote out of a sense of civic duty. Furthermore, it seems likely that for some people, this sense of civic duty even extends to when their vote makes literally no difference.

My guess is that there were plenty of local races that weren't over. If you voted in a primary you'd know that there are many, many races to vote on besides POTUS. ;)
 
If Paul's book comes out April 30th, look for the Paultards to invade this website within the first week in May proclaiming it as the Second Coming and The Book That Has The Answers To All Our Problems.
Much entertainment will then ensue.

In Massachusetts all we had was some uncontested local elections. (There's a primary later in the year for Congressmen and stuff.) Although it does happen that this is not the case in Pennnslyvania.

Wrong, Paul was a Republican first, before leaving to run a Libertarian presidential campaign in 1988, after which he went back to the Republican party where he remains. Paul is not a Libertarian, he's a paleoconservative Republican.

Ah, this makes a lot of sense to me. I always wondered how a libertarian could be pro-life and favor stricter border control.

Governor of Alaska?

The Alaskan Independence Party are sort of like Libertarians with the added twist of wanting to declare Alaska as their own independent Shangri-La. They once had their man as Governor.

"sort of"?

I think some terms need to be defined:
Overflow crowds = 15 people in a Motel 6 room.
Young people = likely non-voters
passionate supporters = delusional followers
