Will Romney's poor turnout from the Primaries show up on election night? (voters, Republicans)

[walidm]

In Ohio, Romney barely eeked out a win during the primaries, losing middle-class voters, by 11 points among those making $50,000-$100,000 and 6 points for people earning $30,000-$50,000.

Romney also lost in Georgia, Iowa, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina.

Will the Republican vote be suppressed due to prior Romney poor performance in these States?

Iowa, maybe: Ohio, has always been a challenge, regardless of the primaries. We all know he will carry, Ga, TN, OK and SC. In case you haven't been paying attention, Republicans are 100% behind Romney..In each of the states you mentioned there were reasons for his less than great finish: Iowa is or was Paul territory, then you have favorite sons etc in some of the southern states...In the end, those states will get behind the Republican candidate. If you have any doubts, you haven't been paying much attention.
