From a reader:

Jonah, As a long time reader (and first time emailer) I thought that someone on the Corner might find this interesting. I’m currently a Floridian attending college in Virginia. I just received a phone call from both of my parents, residents of fairly conservative Seminole county on the northeast corner of Orlando, who wanted to tell me they had just voted in the primary. Now comes the interesting part. Their first words were that their first choice was Fred Thompson, but since he withdrew they were uncertain of who to vote for. On the way to the polling station (located at a nearby Reformed seminary) they heard a news report that some polls were putting McCain at somewhere around 35% and in first place. They immediately voted for Romney. They seemed to be appalled that GOP’ers knowledgeable of McCain’s political history would vote to nominate him for president.
