it seems that under 100,000 people voted.

I wonder what this will mean for gop turn-out in the general? It would seem that they got a significant portion of the rabidly insane ... er ... teaparty vote; but the question is how many moderately sane ... er ... non-teatparty republicans and/or independents will come out to vote for this teaparty candidate?

I'm hoping not many.
