Perhaps many who've lost faith in the cult were motivated not to vote in the primaries. Regardless, gas prices through the roof, aluminum prices through the roof, (fill in the blank) prices through the roof has got to be taking a toll on voter's willingness to support Republicans. Certainly in the margins. But it's in those margins that general elections are won or lost.
