Rick Santorum won the three primary-type elections yesterday. Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado. A sweep. But really, I should put that Won in quotes. He “won” by virtue of garnering more votes than the others, which I admit is the traditional way in which winning is established.
But, really, did he? The largest voter turn-out was Missouri, with 6% of eligible, registered voters going to the polls. Out of that he took somewhere around 40%, which means he got less than 3% of Missouri’s potential vote. It was worse in the other two states, Minnesota with 1% and Colorado with 2%.
And yes, these are caucuses, nonbinding, no delegates are assigned based on these, it was more a moral support effort.…
