The Republican primary had 489,252 voters.
You can easily see that 1,475,455 voters in that primary FAR outdistances the pitful Republican primary for 2012.
The state Republican party should be MORTIIED that the candidate list was so week NO ONE IMPORTANT bothered to vote!
I agree with you, but at least Mitt will have carried at least on conservative state. Up until now, he is running up great margins in states that will be voting for liberals (Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, etc.). Mitt will have all of the GOP delegations from liberal states in his corner; I’m not sure that says a whole lot in his favor.
