Indeed, ABO. By the way Romney is almost there delegate-wise. Who voted for him? Republicans. Yes, in some states independents/ unenrolleds or even Democrats are allowed to vote in the Republican primary. People looked at all the candidates and ultimately, even if by a small margin, they chose him. A recent poll said 91 per cent of Republicans choose Romney. Or at least 91 per cent will not vote for Obama. Maybe they will vote third party or something.

4 more years of The One will kill this country. If you want a more conservative candidate next time, support them; otherwise perhaps the GOP is no longer conservative. Regardless, it comes down to Romney vs. Obama. Either someone who is at least half decent, or more Hope and Change.

There are boards that keep track of the number of people voting for various candidates.

We usually have about 1.5 million people vote in Virginia primaries, or even dull midterm elections.

We had about 15% of that turn out ~ that meant that 800,000 or so votes FOR GINGRICH didn't get counted.

That sort of thing will not be easily forgotten.

Romney really won only a handful of races. He barely got to 50% in the ones he did win.

I am afraid he didn't show the power a candidate really needs, ideologically, or in terms of personal charisma. Obama is an ignorant lout but he at least sounds friendly ~ his peeps will still vote for him. So don't imagine that technical "wins" to get delegates make you a winner.
