Well, some of them, anyway. With 100% of the precincts reporting in the 14th congressional district, Ron Paul got 70.2%, With only 29.8%, and so much establishment bling, the Pedster may not even be a viable candidate for the neocons in 2010.

In the presidential primaries, Ron won 7% in the Republic of Vermont and in Rhode Island and Providence Plantation, 5% in Ohio and the Republic of Texas, but 12.2% in his congressional district.

Among the Pedenites with egg on their face are Houston talkshow hosts Edd Hendee and Pat Gray of KSEV AM 700. They hosted Peden for hour after hour to smear Ron Paul, and only succeeded in costing votes for him and listeners and, we can hope, sponsors for themselves.

BTW, here is a not-bad article on Ron’s victory from the pro-Peden Galveston Daily News. Funny that the classy Peden had no comment.
