According to this story, the chair of the Virginia Republican Party, Pat Mullins, is expecting a low voter turnout in the Virginia Republican presidential primary, because voters cannot vote for anyone except Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

Good! Ron Paul has a better chance of winning then!!
This can only work in Ron Paul’s favor. His supporters are passionate and will definitely show up. I don’t think that the voters who would have chosen Gingrich, Santorum, etc. feel comfortable enough with Romney or worried enough about Ron Paul to go vote for Romney. Some may even support Paul as the anti-Romney option. An aggressive anti-Romney advertising campaign in Virginia would be a great strategy for the Ron Paul campaign.
At least 2 choices — 100 percent better than in the old dead ex-U.S.S.R.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
ONE election per year
#1, the Virginia Republican primary will award all the at-large delegates to any candidate who gets as much as 50% of the total vote. But if no one gets 50%, then every candidate who got as much as 15% would get a proportionate share of the at-large delegates.
So, ironically, because there are only 2 candidates on the ballot, Ron Paul probably won’t get any at-large Virginia delegates. But if the ballot included the others, chances are Paul would have got some at-large delegates.
For younger folks — the Donkeys had a 20 Years WAR in their national conventions in 1968-1988 to get more and more P.R. in having national convention delegates — worthy of a major research book effort.
Some results – 1992 Clinton and 2008 Obama.
What ANTI-Democracy EVIL is in the heads of the so-called top Elephants ???
#4
Unless he beats Romney.
