Ron Paul Refuses to Go Away

So, um, Idaho had a Republican primary on Tuesday. Who knew?

Apparently 30,000 Ron Paul supporters did…

…in Tuesday's little-noticed Republican primary in Idaho, the iconoclastic Texas congressman had his best showing so far, grabbing 24 percent of the vote, nearly 30,000 votes in all.

McCain won with 70 percent, while the other 6 percent went to uncommitted.

So, Ron Paul — who has absolutely no chance of winning to GOP nomination — scored nearly a quarter of the vote?

One thing you gotta give to the Paulites: they're not all hung up on reality.
