Arizona’s primaries are closed like Florida’s. Only party-affiliated voters can cast a ballot for presidential preference (as it’s called here in FL).

Remember a lot of Mormons call AZ home, so the Romney vote is not a surprise.

Newt’s only hope is the south, really.

You may be right. A little further down the article says: "Presidential primaries in Arizona are closed."

So it looks like it is semi-closed for state and local but closed for presidential??
