That, ladies and gentlemen, is the same sound you are hearing out of Wisconsin, West Virginia, and North Carolina. It is the sound of a depressed Democrat base.
Romney is doing better against real candidates than Obama is doing against imaginary ones. Anyone who thinks that the Democrat base is going to turn out in 2012 like they came out in 2008 is fooling themselves.
...With 99.8 percent reporting, Barack Obama has 119,245 votes, while 'Uncommitted' has 86,789 votes. That is, Obama has 57.9 percent of the vote, while 'Uncommitted' has 42.1 percent.)
The Republican primary isn't nearly as close. Presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, leads his closest rival, Ron Paul, by over 55 percentage points so far. The current tally: Romney has 107,362 votes (or 66.85 percent of the vote), Paul with 20,117 votes (12.53 percent), Rick Santorum with 14,230 (8.86 percent), Newt Gingrich with 9,459 votes (5.89 percent), and 'Uncommitted' with 9,428 (5.87 percent of the vote)....
