Lowest turnout for a Presidential Preference Primary since the current system was established.
Voter turnout for the Republican Presidential Preference Primary was the lowest since the current system was established in 1980, according to Secretary of the State Denise Merrill.
Figures reported to Merrill's office show just 14.4 percent of eligible Republicans turned out for the Primary Tuesday.

And we all know about the Kerry presidency.
I’ll never understand Republicans. If ya don’t want Romney, then VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE! Don’t stay home! This is a PRIMARY! It’s like herd mentality with these primary voters. You vote for who you WANT, not who the polls and media say is ahead!
As you saw here in Michigan, voting for our preferred choice didn’t make much difference. They couldn’t even accept a tie and changed the delegate allocation rules after the primary.
Its like dealing with democrats.
If only Palin had decided to run. It would be Reagan vs Carter all over again and the GOP landslide would have been even bigger.
You can't win a presidential election without supporters.
This guy is probably the biggest loser in the last 75 years!
I voted in New York (Brooklyn) after 6 pm. I was voter number 5 for my district.
Yes it was a low turnout. So now the CT officials are complaining that it costs too much to do a primary. Remember we are super liberal here. Does that surprise anyone?
We here in FreeRepublic are in constant and continual communication with each other, argueing, sharing and disecting the news and politics and people.
We really try to analyze and make decisions that are mature and wize.
We are also a minority.
I've had to admit, since Pennsylvania's primary yesterday, that by being IN TOUCH with data, we are OUT OF TOUCH (in some matters) with a frighteningly larger percentage of the population than what we want to admit to.
That's my conclusion.
We can't seem to save good people from being (figuratively) killed ... Palin, Cain even Santorum.
I don't know what America's fate is, but 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes to mind more and more these "last days"

Radical leftist NY carpetbaggers invaded CT and destroyed historic towns like Mystic
They say they love where they want to move to -
Then they turn it into the garbage they came from
.
.
Rove, FOX and the GOP-e are out of their fricken' gourds.
Well, guess their job number one is done. Kill the tea party.
Then enjoy the next 4 years with Obama; in fact, enjoy the demise of the country.
We have found out again that the political IQ of our little Repubican primary voters is just a couple of points above their Democrat cousins, but they are good at earning money!
Then we need to get behind Romney. He was number 3 on my preferred list but when compared to obama, Romney moves up to the number 1 spot. Is he my ideal? NO...but he is so much better than obama. If for no other reason, obama cannot have the opportunity to nominate more liberal justices to the supreme court. I have never voted for a candidate I loved but I always vote and I vote for the least offensive. And in November 2012, that will be Romney.
You are so right about Mystic.
I checked your homepage, are those your cars- wow!
You and me both Jim. I just can’t understand why the GOP rejects being a permanent majority party. But they can’t stop the Tea Party long term. We’ll be tea partying for a long time.
We have learned some valuable lessons though:
We conservatives single-handedly devastated the GOP in 2006 by staying home.
In 2010, the GOP was largely powerless to stop conservatism.
In 2014, I don’t see any reasons why we can’t roll them. And 2018, and beyond. We can own the GOP in every off-presidential year election and there’s not a thing they can do to stop it.
The party pros have no jobs when this guy takes the party under.
If you want a future in America you have to demand Romney's removal.
Are you aware of the fact that it is against FR rules to change the title of an Article. I could not believe the
“(Nobody wants Romney)” part of the title. So, I went to the actual article and sure enough, it DID NOT say that. So, apparently you added it. I wish you folks wouldn’t do stupid stuff like that. I mean, I thought: “NBC might be scum but they can’t be that stupid to say ‘Nobody wants Romney’. Apparently somebody does. He’s going to be the GOP nominee.”
PLEASE DON’T MISLEAD FREEPERS BY CHANGING TITLES OF ARTICLES!!!
Various polls say it’s anyone’s game. Rasmussen says Romney by 5 over Obama among likely voters.
Anyone busy cutting off our country’s nose to spite Romney’s face might want to rethink that strategy, if for no better reason than the SCOTUS appointments.
It's only going to get worse.
There aren't enough Romney supporters to distribute lawn signs!
The Republican party was destroyed when 7 of the 10 officially authorized presidential candidates were provably RINOS (according to the traditional definition if not also the more modern one). That sort of thing will destroy any party ~ and it did.
It's time to reconstitute the coalition and leave these pukes behind, and that's gotta' include Priebus, Walker, Rubio, most of that Texas crowd who pretend to be TEAParty types, and, of course, the Great PLains RINOS and their acolytes in misery.
——————If for no other reason, obama cannot have the opportunity to nominate more liberal justices to the supreme court.—————
Then you have no reason. Massachusetts Mitt nominates activist judges.
“Then we need to get behind Romney. He was number 3 on my preferred list “
Wow! You actually had RINOmney on your list at #3?
Wait. Are you a registered Democrat?
.
I am not that familiar with Rick Santorum
But I have seen several (completely unrebutted) comments posted here on FR threads that dispute Santorum*s constant “I-I” and “Me-Me” claims such as that he personally wrote THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA
Other off-topic primary issues by all primary candidates:
“TO THE MOON ALICE!”
“I AM THE ONLY REAL CONSERVATIVE!”
“I RAISED 23 FOSTER CHILDREN!”
“I WILL FORCE OBAMA TO DEBATE ME IN A SERIES OF 400 SEVEN-HOUR LONG LINCLHN-DOUGLAS DEBATES!”
“I WILL BAN ALL ABORTIONS!”
“I WILL GUARANTEE I WILL WIN THE STATE OF.....”
“INDUSTRIAL (union) BUSINESSES MUST GET SPECIAL TAX BREAKS!”
“BIG IDEAS - BIG SOLUTIONS!”
Repeated (endlessly) - even now on talk radio or FNC - Prospective voters tune out the noise
There must be some secret list of topics and agendas that some politicians can access will chase away one or more voting groups
It must have been written by Saul Alinski
.
WWII in Europe would never have been won if the USA, Brits, Canadians, and Aussies had not taken Omaha Beach
Even then we still had to whip the Japanese in the Pacific
Obama is now buying votes with your tax dollars while you bicker, argue, and say “Wait until 2016! Americans will all then magically vote the way we want them too!”
.
and the lesser of 2 evils is still evil!
with that attitude...If you were asked to jump out of a 20 story building you'd probably beg to jump from the 15th...right?
We could have avoided most of the casualties we took in the war with more patience.
Wait...Scott Walker is a RINO? With that definition, you guys will wind up with a party of possibly 3 people, but you’ll all be pure!
Seriously, he'll have to be sacrificed in any real Republican reorganization ~ because we really do need to get rid of his friends.
WHAT?!? This courageous man is fighting SEIU and other union thugs and has put Wisconsin back on its feet and he needs to be sacrificed? What planet are you on?
And Priebus has come out against Agenda 21; better we should add than subtract...let’s subtract Obama and then work from there.
His failures to lead the party in conducting an orderly and honest primary season cannot be overlooked.
Enough time has been wasted on the mess in Wisconsin. It's time to clear the decks and just get rid of the RINOS and their friends ~ we need a Republican party that is not run by outside interests.
I voted for Santorum in PA
what makes you think Romney would appoint constitutionalist judges?
Did he do it in MA or did he appoint liberal activist judges?
so....
About those Judges your going to vote Romney for....
The primary system is broken. There needs be a conservative primary first who would then beat the establishment candidate.
This turnout is beyond horrible. Mr. Romney cannot bring out any Republican base. His strongest support seems to come from Jimmy Carter. Based on his support in the primaries, turnout, and margin of victory, Mr. Romney will lose, IMHO,at least, 45 states in the General election ,create major losses in the Senate and turn the House back to Democrat ideologues.
Check your local races and find a Conservative to support. After the Romney Wreck, that may be all you have left.
TWB
But even that wasn't enough... so they then came up with a plan to remove the competition from the ballot in Virginia and many other states, and even tried to steal Iowa from poor lill Santorum, and continued to push Texas back until it wouldn't matter.
This whole process was a setup from the start.
And they won't be getting my vote as a reward in November, the whole country can burn before I'll vote for that SOB Romney and his Tea Party hating, GOP insider enablers.
The low turnout is mostly due to the race being over.
The majority of people want Romney. That’s why he’s the candidate.
Get over it.
>Then they turn it into the garbage they came from<
.
Are you saying that NY carpetbaggers are like muslims?
Sorry Josa, but the liberal SOB is going to have to earn my vote! Word from the lamestream media is he needs to now shift to the left of middle, but if he doesn't start wooing the Tea Party and conservative base he is toast in November.
If you want to vote for Obama, I guess you can, but I wouldn’t brag about it.
IF Free Republic had given Rick Santorum half a chance in his run for the Presidency....
IF FREE REPUBLIC hadn't aided and abetted the 'Hate Rick' crowd to crucify him on a daily basis.....24/7....
We might.....MIGHT ....have a real conservative still in the running right now!
I believe in Chronicles 7:14, but that sure wasn't happening on the Santorum threads.
I will never understand how this forum could be so egregiously compromised.

BS!
The Germans were working on nukes already
And had advanced and much faster fighter jets that if they were built earlier and produced earlier would have cleared the US and Brits from the skies
German troops killed Brits at 3:1
German troops killed Americans by 2:1
America started WWII flying ancient bi-planes
Luckily Hitler was very dumb at priorities of producing fighters and bombers - and ordered too many competing prototypes
- Hitler also had to show up Napoleon by invading Russia (in summer uniforms!) that did not end well
I was at Jackson, Benning, Bragg
I have survived 2 plane crashes and 1 chopper crash
My brother was an engineer at the Cape for NASA
The US Space Program was built and developed using German WWII engineers and designs!
You have no idea what you are talking about
“Waiting” in wartime is defeat
When IKE asked who could get the Airborne saved PRONTO -
Patton did not say “Golly IKE! - Let*s just wait a little while more!”
I taught many city kids at Jax & Benning how to see and kill enemies on dark quiet nights
(I had semi-auto carbine and magazines of ammo ready in the trunk of my shiny red convertible while I was in HS)
And most of them survived
You watch too damned many silly Hollywood war movies!

Do you live in Manhattan?
Even the hotels just off 5th Avenue are worse than a seedy Motel 6!
NYers think NYC is oh so special
Go to Western NC and drive up Mount Mitchell
There is a real world out there
Once upon a time small towns like Mystic Connecticut actually friendly humans and not invaders
Try New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford now
- and wear a Class II vest
Just three (3) feet from my hands is a highly visible big Colt SA .44-40 hanging in a rig
Nobody bothers anyone here
- and no Muzzies have been seen around here
I make it much safer and quieter for the men on the job

You are exactly right:
We have a choice between Obama, Robama (Romney) and Nobama (Newt)... This was laid out a long time ago and no one is doing anything.
lol
LOL! I simply point out the reality that the GOPe has again rat f@#ked conservatives and pious sheeple like you whine about how sticking to my principles is a defacto vote for Obama. Sorry, but voting for the NWO socialist being shoved down our throats may just be a little more than I can take this time. Go back to your pasture sleep it off.

Never would have guessed.... /S
Just for your education, when a title has something in parentheses, it is taken to mean an addition to the title, usually the posters thoughts on the article. It really isn’t changing the subject title a you think. Now take a moment and unwad your panties.
"Better" than Obama? In what substantial way?
Any reasonably well-informed Freeper knows that Romney and Obama's records in office are virtually indistinguishable. How is it that you're so uninformed that you would post such a disgustingly gushing comment about the biggest, most fraudulent, faux Republican who ever ran for office?
The man's got a record to the left of some Democrats, and you're gushing about him? Geeez, Louise!
