“Santorum took the lion’s share of the vote among those who disapprove of Scott Walker as governor, who faces a recall election.”

I believe that can best be explained by Democratic voters who changed their registrations to be able to vote for Frothy…

CPT_Doom if it weren’t for local elections for the council, there wouldn’t be any reason to vote in a primary at all. I filled in the blanks for the Prez, and Elenor but could just as easily given myself write in votes. Since moving to the city, I vote just to maintain the habit and hope one day we will actually have elections with candidates who support real options. But I’m 74 and hope is dwindling.

One interesting note on the DC primary (where I live). Perhaps Santorum was right to ignore us. Romney may have won with 70% of the GOP vote, but still only got 1/20 as many votes as Obama did in the uncontested Democratic primary. Of course, McCain lost to both Obama and “other” (catchall for all votes for neither Obama nor McCain) in the 2008 election.

I’m not sure such editorial is doing something besides preaching to the choir? I mean, would NOM be surprised that NYT is condemning them?

NYT has always been perceived as a liberal newspaper.
