His support is tissue paper thin around here ~ a handful of Bourbons at the top maybe, some old business buddies, mormons ~ ? ~, and otherwise he's not popular at all.
A little hyperbole there. You had 489,252 in the 2008 Republican primary. About 662,000 in 2000.
And about 265,000 this year, so interest was way down to be sure, but not dramatically down 90% as you stated.
“We usually have over 1.5 million people show up for a Presidential primary in Virginia. Romney got about 10% of that number.

I have seen one Romney bumper sticker around here. One. This area was festooned with ‘W’ stickers for years, later McCain-Palin. After the election McCain was scraped off, but not Palin. Palin’s name slowly dropped off all of the cars only after she announced she would not be running. It took a long time but now they are all gone.
In the recent primary, pretty much the entire Boss Hogg GOP establishment here was stumping directly or by proxy for Romney. It has finally paid off, with one Romney sticker on a six year old economy car.
