Updated On: Tuesday, Mar. 4 2008 09:39 PM DALLAS (AP) — Republican Ron Paul didn't get many votes for president in his home state, but he easily won the primary night nomination for his congressional seat.

Paul — an Internet sensation in his presidential bid — easily defeated local Councilman Chris Peden in the Houston-area District 14 on Tuesday night.

Paul, a 10-term congressman, only drew single-digit votes for president.
