The risk that Republicans will just stay home, or undervote him, is very real. Look what they did at the Virginia primary where the big Republican dogs jiggered things so that NO CONSERVATIVES were on the ballot ~ just Paul and Romney.

The people didn't bother showing up to vote. There was an historic low turn out. Even if Romney had gotten all the votes he'd still received barely more than 10% of what is normally the turnout in a Presidential primary.

He is not able to pull the party base behind him. How would he peel off a Democrat faction if he can't do that?

The old "go to the middle" stuff doesn't help ~ there is NO MIDDLE. In fact, there's now $6.00 gasoline in California and by Summer we should have $7.00, maybe $8.00 gasoline all over the country with a serious worsening of the Great Obama Recession.

Newt begins to look better and better with that in place!

Good Morning muawiyah-

Yep. News reports said this was a record low voter turnout for the GOP Primary here in the Old Dominion ...possibly the worst in history according to the radio.

My wife and I are Newt supporters; so we “protest voted” for “crazy uncle” Ron Paul. She said the turnout was light when she went to vote early and there was no one at the polling place when I voted in mid afternoon except election officials. One local county had an ENTIRE PRECINCT WHERE NO ONE CAME TO VOTE!!! ...and this is a VERY CONSERVATIVE area w/strong GOP support.

Mitt is a big time loser and will hurt the entire GOP “ticket.” If the GOP elites think Mitt will help w/the Senate and House candidates they need to be tested for hallucinogens!!!

‘Take care,

-Geoff
