Ohio reporting Reps voting Dem. What's up??

[CoffeeCat]

I've been reading Ohio media. Major newspapers and the blogs report that large numbers of
Republicans and Indies are switching and voting Dem. :wow:

I'm wondering if this helps Obama? I heard Glenn Beck telling his listeners today
to switch and vote for Hillary. Two callers said they did just that. Limbaugh
told his people to do this as well.

I really wonder who this will benefit...and if these right-wing-radio locksteppers
will really make a difference? They're all voting for HIllary.

1. Limbaugh wants to keep Hillary in the race "because Obama needs to be bloodied."

You've lost Ohio. No, I haven't. Yes, you have. You lie!"

2. Isn't it great that Beck, Limballs and the rest have such respect for the integrity of the vote

Fuckers, all of them...

7. The people who are doing what they're told by the likes of

Beck and Limbaugh are the ones I really have a problem with. It's disgusting to think there are people out there who can't or refuse to think for themselves. Or maybe it's just sad...

3. I doubt it's anything to worry about.

If anything, it gives the Dems the chance to spin huge numbers and will take away Hillary supporters argument that Obama is "winning because the pukes are voting for him, because they think he's easier to beat."

I'm happy to have both of those outcomes. I don't think they will have much effect on the final decision.

4. I think it could go both ways

with Obama having an edge.

Some republicans will vote Hillary because they think she will hurt the Democratic party, and some will vote against her because they fear a Hillary presidency more than anything in the world

5. Independants help Obama.. Republicans are going to help Hillary..

To many of them are idiot Limbaugh listeners who will follow their "leaders" advice to switch over and vote for Hillary just so she stays in the race long enough to keep the democrats focused on each other and off of McCain. Great strategy.. idiot.

But, actually to the idiots who do this and fall for it - I hope it bites them in the ass in November.

6. I think you're right ... I don't mind non-Dems crossing for the RIGHT reasons

like that they actually DO AGREE with the positions of the candidate, but this "let's defeat Obama to make sure we can run against Hillary" B.S. is maddening. The Rethugs aren't content just in picking their own nominee; now they want to meddle with OUR nomination process. DAMN THEM!

8. I'll laugh if Hillary gets a majority of GOP voters

It'll be fun to see the ones who've been foaming at the mouth about Obama picking up GOP support trying to explain why it's OK i it goes to Hillary.

9. Exactly.. considering most of those voting for Obama

are doing so because they really like the guy.. and those who jumped on todays Hillary bandwagon are doing so only because they want to run against her in November and think she'll be easier to beat.
