But, we've digressed from the point a bit. I think it's unrealistic for the Dems or anyone else to draw any vast conclusions from a primary where 10% or less of the eligible voters actually voted. The was the first binding primary in Virginia in a looooong time. You would've thought the dems would have gotten out the vote better.

Agreed.

If you extrapolate the numbers, very roughly, across the states you will see that the dem candidate is being decided by about 10% of the eligible dem voters. That would mean 10M people deciding the candidate for 100M people. I was hoping this would lead to a Dean nomination!
