These numbers tell me that Republicans do not want to take a chance on who wins by party and although their favorite may not get nominated they will vote for him/her rather than 3rd party or Obama. This link is very interesting and is about Republicans only being questioned. Don't get excited since no Democrats were questioned. Read the link and see how you feel.

83% of GOP Voters Intend to Vote Republican No Matter Who

...and you don't see a problem that people will vote for one party even if they put a head of cabbage up to vote for?

This should not be counted as a boon, people should prop this number up as something to be ashamed about.

i know a lot of the freerepublic people have stated they wont vote for romney if he is nominated, they will stay home.

i also found it funny that 93 percent of the tea party would vote for the gop, which further validates my claim that the tea party is not a broad group of people, but the far right idiots of the republican party.

they are the equivalent of the far left, which is why they are bashed so much.

No doubt, and from the same link:

"Perhaps surprisingly, Tea Party members are more committed to supporting the GOP candidate than other Republicans. Among GOP primary voters who are Tea Party members, 92% will vote for the Republican candidate"

It's not surprising as the right will support and vote for anyone with an (R) next to their name no matter who the candidate is, and hate on anyone that isn't. That's just what the right wingers are programmed to do.

The far left with a dash of racism, xenophobia, and religious fundamentalism.
