Asymptosis

Since emerging as the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain's primary results have been tepid by any measure.

5/27-ID    70%
5/20-OR    85
5/20-KY    72
5/13-WV    76
5/6-IN    78
5/6-NC    74
4/22-PA    73
4/11-MS    79

Compare George Bush's primary results after sealing the nomination–consistently in the high 90s. McCain has broken 80% exactly once, and his latest–70% in Idaho–is his lowest number yet.

If November is about turning out the vote–and it definitely will be–these results can only be heartening to the Democrats.
