45. If Republicans could vote in CT's 2006 Democratic Primary

Ned Lamont would never have been our Senate nominee in the General Election. Joe Lieberman would have run as the official Democratic candidate and all of our Presidential candidates would have had to support and campaign with him. Lieberman would not be listed as an Independent, he would be an official part of the Democratic caucus in the Senate openly backing the indefinate continuation of the war in Iraq as a major Democrat.

Ned Lamont only won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate because Republicans could NOT vote for Lieberman in the Democratic Primary. Lieberman would have won the Democratic nomination in a landslide if Republicans were allowed to vote for him in the Democratic primary.

Is that the type of "base widening" you want?

[ClassWarrior]

2. They're Dems we lost to Reagan, and we're finally winning 'em back.

Read "The Emerging Democratic Majority" by Ruy Texiera.

NGU.

[Unsane]

[bowens43]

3. More evidence that Obama is the right choice!!

the independents will decide the general election and they hate Hillary.

[sandnsea]

5. He won Democrats in HI, WA, VT, IL, MD, ME

Plus a whole bunch of red states so can we stop with this Republican shit.

[AZBlue]

8. No links, no quotes, no sources cited?

Did you get that from looking in your crystal ball?

[curvy rider]

15. It's not possible to link directly to the exit poll

Because it's made with some kind of Flash or whatever program that shows a blank page if you go there via a link.

But you are more than welcome to visit www.cnn.com and click on "election results", and look for exit polls.

FACT: Clinton won 67% of the Democratic vote.
FACT: 52% of Republicans voting in the primary voted for Obama, compared to 47% for Clinton.
FACT: Republicans, like sharks, sensed the blood of their prey, and therefore voted for the weaker candidate.

[DemGa]

10. Clinton Dems ARE the base ---NT

[jgraz]

14. If you take "base" to mean "lowest point"

:P

[Ken Burch]

11. Why are you so suicidally loyal to the conservative candidate who can't win?

Clearly a boring speaker can't be elected and can't be progressive if elected.

[jgraz]

16. Maybe he owns some Defense stocks

:shrug:

[Ken Burch]

20. Ohhhhh.....you're right.....

:wow:

[demo dutch]

21. At the end of the day most will go with conservative ideas, if abortion rights alone!

Don't kid your self, that's just the nature of a GOPer

[Ken Burch]

26. HRC is just as pro-choice as Obama. She wouldn't do any better than he would

in a "hot-button" race.

And those people are gonna be right wing on everything else, so they wouldn't vote for HRC against McCain.

Face it, HRC is the weaker candidate. The fact that she does worse than Obama against McCain in the head-to-heads proves it.

Supporting HRC now makes as much sense as backing Humphrey in the summer of '68. In either case, those who did it knew and know they were voting to lose in the fall.

12. my conservative country club father, my texas repug hubby want obama and have for a while

they have both walked from republican. and they are not the only ones i am seeing in this area. i have seen three stickers. one ron paul, two obama. that is unusual here.

[demo dutch]

18. Let's wait for the GE if they'll vote for abortion rights and all the other hot buttons!

I'm not holding my breath. I find lots of Duers way too gullible on this subject

[seabeyond]

23. hubby voted kerry last time and even willing to vote hillary, but prefers obama

father doesnt vote on the social or religious issues.

[demo dutch]

17. Yeah and guess where lots of them will be in the GE. Abortion and the other hot buttons

still weigh heavy on the GOP mind when it comes to the GE!

[Tribetime]

19. breakdown of rep/ind??

[rodeodance]

If she can continue fighting like this, she has a HUGE case come the convention. If national polling starts going her way, it is Obama who will start begging to be the VP.
