This is the first primary season in which I'm following

...the results in each state.

In 2004 and 2008, Dennis Kucinich was my favorite, and he won 0 states and so it wasn't interesting for me to follow. (I voted for Obama in the 2008 MN Caucus because it was clear at the time of the caucus that Kucinich wouldn't win.)

Are you following the election results in each state this year? If so, have you done that before?

I didn't follow them in '08. I'm a late primary, and the only two left standing months before my primary arrived were two I didn't want to nominate, so I didn't bother. If there is someone in the race worthy of my support, I'll stick with them until the end. If not, then no, I don't.

In '04, I happily voted for DK in my primary, then supported Kerry in the GE. I had no problem with that.
