Romney Wins GOP Primary Marked by Low Turnout (The RINO Effect)
Middletown Patch ^ | 4/24/12 | Cassandra Day

Posted on 04/24/2012 7:34:28 PM PDT by jimbo123

Middletown poll workers outnumbered voters in Tuesday's Republican Primary in which the presumptive GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney sailed to victory.

Normally, there’s a rush between 6 and 8 a.m., Dypa said, as a poll worker yelled to the eight others in the gymnasium, not one a voter, “seven hours!” This year, three Republicans showed up at Spencer during the first two hours.

More like the inevitability effect.

Was literally empty at my little precinct when I went to vote for Newt.

This has nothing to do with RINOs or their running dog lackeys.

It is by now a very noticeable peculiarity of Romney that if he's the only real contestant Republican interest in the election falls off ~ just drops down away to zero.

This guy is going to destroy down ballot voting for Senators and Representatives.

George Allen is now tied with Doufous KAINE~~~ KAINE ~ MY GAD ALMIGHTY ~ KAINE IS TIED WITH ALLEN!!!

We are doomed.

Yes, no one gives a damn now! When it matters - a vote against Obama, then it will be shown!

Sarah Palin could draw out 10,000 people in a small town, Mittens couldn’t pay them to come out.

Yea, you're right about that point, it will be shown to completely depress turnout from the base of the GOP.

After the media gets done with Romney using his own lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal record against him like a club upside the head 24/7, showing what an absolute hypocrite he is and how similiar his record is to Obama's, his poll numbers will be in the toilet.

His loss to Obama will make McCain's loss look like a win:

Conservatives will not be any more enthusiastic for Romney in November.

And did you hear Newt admonish conservatives to unify behind the nominee, which he said would likely be Romney? That Newt is such a turn coat; taking a stand like no other for us conservatives only to fold in the end... I’ll never vote again, if I do, it’ll be for the total destruction of the USA... its conservatism or hell... /sar...

General Winfield Scott Romney would like to Congratulate all the Voters who came out today in support of the Whig Party, together we can Continue the Comprise of 1850, and to keep Compromising with the Democrats over debt slavery until we tear the country again through our own Impotence and Inaction.

Good Day!

I wanna play poker against the GOPe. They obviously aren’t bright enough to figure out that we aren’t bluffing.

Well, seems to be that you’re saying that it does NOT matter who we vote for, the worst will happen anyway.

Okay, if that is true, I give up on politics and especially Conservatives (they are the lowest on the totem pole).

Let’s just vote for Paul and hope for the best...

Actually, we are lost no matter what happens - America is doomed simply because more than half of Americans are taking money from the Government. Can’t be reversed!

Every Romney “victory” is a victory for Obama, seems to me.

Agreed. Since 1988 the GOP has only given me reason to vote against the lying leftist reptile Democrat for POTUS.

THIS year, the GOP has given me the opportunity to vote against TWO lying leftist reptiles!

As of next week I’m leaving the Republican Party and becoming an Independent.The GOP is NO Damn Good.

Its definitly No good in Connecticut.This is my last time playing this Republican Game of Putting in the Next RINO that deserves the Nomination as our President.

Even though Romney is not it I’ll vote for him but its only because the other choice would be much worse.

I heard that, if OBamney is the Republican Nominee I am officially done with the GOP.

No more Money, No Support, No more Volunteering.

They think this is just another election, but our very way of life is stake and if they will not help, we will cast them aside and pursue other options, whatever they may be.

G-D Help us.
