But the people aren’t speaking are they? Record low turn outs and Romney has only been getting 41% of the Republican vote. Something’s not right is it?[/quote]
Doesn’t this speak more to the candidate pool as a whole?
If there are record low turnouts I would say they don’t like ANY of the candidates.[/quote]
Not true, a primary can have a low turnout for many reasons.
Not being interested in the candidates is certainly one. But, inevitability is another. If most believe Romney is going to be the nominee then they feel that what’s the point of voting?
One more thing to look at is who votes in primaries. In the republican party more on the far right vote in the primary (dems the opposite). So, perhaps the far right was not thrilled with the choice of candidates.
All that means is that Romney must pick a staunch conservative as his running mate - And he will most certainly do that.
And when the choice is Obama/Biden (or Obama/Hillary) vs say Romney/Rubio or Romney/Ryan or Romney/Rand Paul (for example) the choice will be clear to those right wing voters won’t it?
