It’s non-binding—there’s no votes to gain
So to say it’s important’s insane
But Santorum, that turd
Placed a far-distant third
While that Romney jerk barely won Maine
Headline: Romney wins Maine caucuses
Again, I wish the networks would report on what incredibly small turnouts these have been. Romney beats Paul by three percent–but that’s less than 200 votes! I’ve taught a good many classes with more students than that. Caucuses, being non-binding, are mostly a way of measuring passion. And there is very little passion. It looks like people are passionate, of course, because the extreme tail of the distribution is very excited. That’s pretty much the job of the extreme tail of the distribution. The monster middle, however, is unmoved and unimpressed.
If the majority of Republicans can’t be arsed to vote for these pinheads, imagine how attractive they are to the general public.
Romney’s total votes were 2,200, and that’s rounding UP. (I can’t find how many Republicans are registered in Maine, but if that’s even 1 percent of the total Republican registration I’d be VERY surprised.
Ah, looks like eight-tenths of one percent of registered Republicans.
Thanks, Rf–clearly a groundswell of support for “none of the above”.
Let’s hope republican turnout is the same in November.
