Just my way-outsider observation...

In a state with a big Mormon population, Romney gains another "win" with less than 50% of the vote. Even within the GOP thre's a solid aversion to the man. And it's not hard to see why. He's phony as a $3 dollar bill. He's overprocessed and underexperienced. He feels uncomfortable even facing crowds of partisan Republicans.

I think he's probably a decent man and no doubt effective making a Powerpoint presentation in a corporate boardroom.

But he's clearly not presidential material and the GOP primary voters recognize it.

He's correct, with these terrible turnouts, it's showing the GOP voters are not pleased with the candidates presented and likely will also sit out the presidential election. Good news for Obama

None of this has anything to do with the primary 2012 campaign issue: Obama's record of failure.

Once that becomes the focus, Oblama is toast.

Or not. There is a definite enthusiasm gap for Romney, and not just in Nevada. Voters have to be motivated to show up at the polls, and for Romney, at least, that is not happening.

"Voter turnout numbers are pointing to a potential enthusiasm deficit for Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney.

In the four states to vote so far in the GOP nominating race, turnout has been strongest where people were energized to vote for somebody else.

In Florida, where Romney grabbed a commanding 46 percent of the vote this week, overall turnout was down significantly from four years ago. A county-by-county look at the Florida numbers shows that turnout was up from four years ago in counties where rival Newt Gingrich did well and down in counties where Romney dominated, according to Michael McDonald, a professor at George Mason University who runs the United States Elections Project to track election data."

I have enough money to survive another 4 years of this dope.

It's the mindless swooners that blindly support him that I worry about. They will pay if he has another 4 years to wreak havoc and continue destroying jobs.

Voters don't need to motivated to show up for Romney. We, meaning the majority, are ALREADY motivated to get rid of the mindless twit in the Oval Office now. The fact that the opposition will be Romney or anyone else doesn't matter.
