Last night was all about turnout.

Evangelical GOP base voters always turn out, and they did so last night for Santorum, which bodes ill for Mitt and Newt.

But what's worse for all of them, and for GOP prospects in general, is the fact that the results are so skewed for Santorum because the evangelicals were practically the only ones who turned out last night. Rank-and-file GOP voters stayed home, likely because they're disgusted by their options.

So much for all that GOP voter enthusiasm we heard about last year, eh?

My 2 cents.
