Getting 39% of the vote after running for six straight years in what is basically your home state against a bunch of candidates who basically don't have any campaigns at all is pathetic. Sorry Mittbots.
Getting less than 85% against candidates including Vermin Supreme is your definition of good?
only one incumbent has done better than 85%. Reagan got 86% in 1984.
And that was a landslide.
...
Are you seriously trying to extrapolate meaningful conclusions from a primary that about six people voted in?
Clinton got 84% in 1996, Bush got 80% in 2000. Given the very small amount of people bothering to vote in totally uncompetitive primaries, those figures are pretty much the same. As is Obama's, what, 82%? Nothing to see here.
