I know this is just primaries and caucuses, but it seems that turn out for these events is much lower than it has been in the past during a presidential election year. I don't see any Republicans as being excited over their choices. As a matter of fact among the Republicans I know( a very low number) they say that all their candidates are insane. Except for one, he likes Rmoney, but this dude is also insane.
