And about 265,000 this year, so interest was way down to be sure, but not dramatically down 90% as you stated.

Mitt Romney 158,053 59.5% final tally in Virginia primary 2012. That's just about 10%.

Remember, we have OPEN PRIMARIES with lots of folks doing crossover voting.

That's Romney's level of support in the general election coming ~ where there were about 3,700,000 votes in 2008, with Obama winning the state. 4% of demonstrable support is really just nonsense. Romney did not show that he can win if you take a cold, hard, calculated look at Virginia's normal voting patterns!

The primary process is obviously not serving the interests of the people.
