Here in New Freedom, PA Ron Paul won 27.55% of the vote but in this (19th) Congressional district the Paul delegates won 100% of the convention seats. State wide the Paul delegates to the RNC took the day. In Pa the delegates are not obligated to support the winner of the popular vote, so while McCain won the popular vote with a very week showing, he has virtually no delegates.
