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.

“Every Romney “victory” is a victory for Obama, seems to me.”
Either way, the left wins.
“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.”
I fear you are correct, and that is something we have GOT to work on. Given the Cyanide-Arsenic dichotomy between the two sockpuppet candidates, it is essential to get conservatives or the cheap imitation Republicans into Congress. Down ticket has never been so important.
“G-D Help us.”
That may very well be the point of the exercise. To remember precisely that.
Holy smoke that is some pic. I never saw that one before, it looks like it was taken yesterday. That guy was already 40 years old when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died!
Only three voters showed up between the opening of the polls, and 7:00PM? In freaking New York City???
Shades of things to come. People have said that Romney will likely depress Republican voter turn-out, and it appears that it's true. We can't win back Congress with that lack of enthusiasm.
He was actually a very impressive soldier, although he effected much harm to many of my ancestors. An honor bound, pure soldier and officer, nevertheless. He would have fit into the early Roman Republic had he lost the whiskers.
In today’s NY vote, Mitt Romney lost HALF of those who voted for him back in 2008!

“People have said that Romney will likely depress Republican voter turn-out, and it appears that it’s true. We can’t win back Congress with that lack of enthusiasm.”
We’ve got to. We MUST. We have GOT to get out in numbers like 2010 and vote AROUND both of the socialist candidates.
Disastrous.
Even though Romney is not it I’ll vote for him but its only because the other choice.....
Do you know how that sounds to the Republican establishment? They're laughing out loud in your face.
You've been sadly bamboozled if you think you're making any sort of "choice".
NY Primary Vote for Mitt Romney:
2008: 178,043
2012: 84,558 (83% reporting)
Mittens lost half his voters from 2008 and he still won the 2012 primary!
And McLame won the NY primary in 2008 with 333,001 votes
A GOP-e disaster in the making!
Does it really matter? Today’s states will all go to Obama and the rats in the fall anyway.
Kind of like leaving at the end of the third quarter when your team is down 44-3. Might as well beat the traffic.
I remember reading once he was the longest serving General...50 or so years. Amazing. I know Lincoln used him or used him for advice durng the civil war which is incredible. That would be like Kennedy or Johnson using a General born in the 1800s during the Vietnam war (which was yet another war started by Democrats and blamed on Republicans.)
You’ve have well stated the problem with so many of us. We are lost in space it seems.
A very accurate statement and it pertains to many Republicans or so called Conservatives. That is the down side! The upside is that in another few years it won’t matter anyway!!
It’s really a choice of abandonment. It is pervasive and happening much more than you understand. It does mean that the Republican Party is in peril.
It was Winfield Scott’s strategy which won the war for the North, with a bit of an accelerant from William Tecumseh Sherman. The foundation plan though was always Scott’s, and formulated before the first shots were fired.
I voted at 5 pm in NY state and I was 46.
As of next week I’m leaving the Republican Party...

Well it’s my only choice and untill we conservatives can get a party of our own I’m going to have to base my choice on who I think would be best for our country.The Present Republican Potential nominee is not it but then neither is the present President.
