1. Open primary...
an op ed in the SA newspaper recently urged all republicans to cast a vote for Hillary or Barack because the dem primary is basically the election.

3. so are they voting for Obama, or against Hillary?
Edited on Fri Feb-29-08 01:27 PM by rucky
or they think Obama will lose to McCain, so they're voting for him now so they can vote against him later?

OR do they just like to vote?


:shrug:

7. At worst they are voting for the candidate they dislike least.
There is always the possibility that we could win this election. I know it's been a long time, but Republicans generally don't believe that elections have been stolen.

6. Why do you think Hillary wants to stop the Caucuses?
Not cuz she's gonna win. This is just like what she pulled in Nevada!

8. Open primary. You have GOPers who like Obama and are voting for him, GOPers
who despise Clinton and are voting against her just to get her out, and you have GOPers who are voting for Clinton to prolong Democratic division.

9. A lot of it just has to do with...
the fact that the GOP nomination has been decided and the Dem nomination has not been. So they are just going where the action is.

10. That tells us that the RWers WANT to run against Hillary. And if you go to both of their
websites, you'll see "Republicans for Obama" gear/buttons/etc., but not on Hillary's website.
