Probably more than one. Anorexia is a serious national problem. Not to mention all the thorobred jockeys living in Michigan nowadays.

Who would go out in public to be seen voting for any of this GOP lot? People still have some self-respect.

It's called the Bush-factor: the downsizing of his own party.

So sad. Too bad.

If you look at IA and NH--the Democratic candidates received twice as many voters as did the Republicans. So this is no surprise.

This says a lot. Apparently there is little interest in the Republican race. As for the democrats, I guess since no delages to the convention would be gained from todays vote, people probably just decided to stay home. Cant blame them.
