This is what writer Tim Egan had to say in the NYTimes about the electoral process in the United States. The Republican primary electorate looks more like the population that the U.S. in 1890 than in 2012:
"There is no other way to put this without resorting to demographic bluntness: the small fraction of Americans who are trying to pick the Republican nominee are old, white, uniformly Christian and unrepresentative of the nation at large."

So far, three million voters have participated in the Republican races, less than the population of Connecticut.
This means that 89 percent of all registered voters in those states have not participated in what is, from a horse-race perspective, a very tight contest.
