You do realize that the very nature of Caucuses which requires voters to be physically present and stick around for a period of time precludes a high turn out to begin with right?

Or are you too busy spinning this to pay attention to the context of the vote?

I would also point out that not all voters are Republican. Should be obvious, but i think its being conveniently ignored.

as you all know , Yobama has an approval rate of about 44/45% in Iowa. Obama is old news, Santorum and Romney are the Media Hypes now!!

The Iowa caucuses are low-turnout, high-intensity elections. There are 2.1 million registered voters in Iowa. But the total turnout for the GOP caucus in 2008 was just 118,696 people, despite the months of media hype.

Don't blame them in the least...what were their choices?

Give the voters some choices, they'll turn out to vote.

It says that they don't know who they want because they are attacking it from a negative stance. They want to vote for someone who can beat Obama instead of looking for a candidate who would be good for the the country.

Republicans are usually negative, they have all the wrong answers.

It doesn't necessaily "preclude" it.

It would be possible to accomodate EVERY republican if they wanted to be there.


But you are deifnitely right that party caucuses tend to have very small turnouts compared to primary party elections.
