2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Ron Paul shouldn't even be close to Romney which just continues to show how poor Mitt Romney has run this Republican Nomination Process. He hasn't won any of the conservative states. That isn't expected but are those voters going to get behind Romney come the Presidential race or are they going to stay at home. We know Obama's support grew in 2008 and literally got any remaining Clinton support.

The same can't be said for Romney. That won't matter in states such as Georgia where Obama won't have a chance. But all those swing states, I suspect the majority will go to Obama simply because of the lack of Republican support.

From what I have been hearing Virginia was a protest vote from Santorum and Gingrich supporters, they went out and said "Well I cant write in for my guy, so I am going to go support the weakest guy".

You gotta admit, Roy, voter turnout in these primaries has been pretty bad. Worse than last time.

Yeah but the only voter turn out that matters is the voter turn out that happens on election day.

Edit: Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is the first Congressman to lose his seat in 2012.

Looks like Romney is going to pick up Ohio and with it, the Republican nomination.
