We just had the primary election here in Utah. On the Republican side, Mitt Romney got a whopping 90% of the vote. He only needed about 48% to win Utah’s 36 delegates.

I voted for Ron Paul. He got measly 3% of the vote.

I know several people who liked Ron Paul but they voted for Romney instead because they they thought Ron Paul didn’t stand a chance of winning. More importantly, they were afraid that McCain might win. Two days later, Romney dropped out of the race.

Who’s vote had the greater overall impact? Who wasted their vote?
