YES!!! I was hoping he'd go there, given how well he has done in New England!! I wonder if that is before voter registration (if any) closes...

edit:


What type of Primary election does the state of Rhode Island conduct?
Rhode Island has a 'semi-closed' party primary system. This means that you may only vote in your party's primary, but if you are registered as "Unaffiliated" you may vote in the primary of any party you choose. Once you vote in a primary, however, you are considered a member of that party until and unless you "disaffiliate". You may do this by signing a "Change of Party Designation" form at the polling place after you vote or by submitting a new voter registration form at any time. The disaffiliation takes effect in 90 days. If you indicated a party preference when you registered to vote, you may only vote in that party's primary. If you wish to vote in another party's primary, you must disaffiliate at least 90 days before the primary date.

and the date to register was back in January, so now only unaffiliated and GOP can vote for Ron. Still, that's something.
