He got like 83% in New Hampshire. I haven't bothered checking the others. 57% in an "uncontested" primary for a sitting President definitely shows some dissatisfaction. I think if anything it's an interesting question from a process standpoint. Also, Randall Terry is insane and it seems he got a delegate: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/03/07/randall-terry-wins-a-delegate-in-oklahoma/?mod=WSJBlog

Mr. Terry has been arrested more than 50 times, the first for chaining himself to a sink in an abortion clinic. In a rambling interview with The Wall Street Journal about his candidacy at the start of the primary season, he emphasized that “while I’m best known for my opposition to child killing and homosexual marriage, my interests and my passions go far beyond those things,” saying he is also a musician and a “practical joker.”

Mr. Terry, whose group is known for displaying grisly images of dead fetuses during public protests, compared himself as candidate to a beaver, “the only mammal that sets out deliberately to alter its habitat.”
