Newt inspires people to turn out in record numbers

Apparently not yesterday, where he pulled 10-15%.

There's plenty of enthusiasm for Santorum on FR and in Missouri / Minnesota / Colorado. All those people came out to vote for a candidate they had been told couldn't win and should drop out.

Missouri is an odd case since this vote was non-binding.

But in general, the more people think Romney is inevitable, the less they will come out to vote - but now that he's been proven beatable, we should see higher turnout numbers ahead.

How many of those voters will be Democrat crossovers in "open" primaries trying to pick who they want to run against?

You betcha, right on!!! The low turnout is primarily due to two people, Mitt Romney & Newt Gingrich. These two incompetents and their ugly, ego driven, childish games and personal attacks have turned off millions of us Conservatives who have one objective this electoral year, defeat POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party in devastating fashion.

I have no use for either Romney or Gingrich and if all the pubbies are smart they will broom them into oblivion in the next few primaries. Our country is at stake, our Freedom is at stake, our Liberty is at stake, the future of our children and grandchildren are at stake, But.....Romney and Gingrich could care less, tearing each other apart, instead of destroying Obama every time they open their mouths!!! Pubbies, get rid of these two deadbeats!!! Go Santorum!!! You da man!!!
