The primary will produce another GOP candidate who would be totally “wishy washy” and unacceptable to Rush Limbaugh or Michelle Malkin, the voters will completely ignore the “wisdom” of the blogosphere and national media, and elect them like they always have.

A significant fraction of the voters still voted for Scozzafava even though she quit the contest. Exactly what kind of likely protest vote was this? I'd still like to see something more intelligent than fixation on this race (and avoidance of the big Dem losses and GOP wins in New Jersey and in Virginia, especially) and the predictable leftist silliness.

To what extent was it a resentment against outsiders' intrusion? A significant fraction of the voters still voted for Scozzafava even though she quit the contest. Exactly what kind of likely protest vote was this?

I believe the same can be said about the two governor's races. Effectiveness, or the lack thereof, is what drives voting trends, not ideology.
