MADISON, Wis. -- Republicans could sway who wins the Democratic presidential primary in Wisconsin given that John McCain has all but sewn up the GOP nomination and voters are free to switch parties when casting ballots.
While party operatives and independent observers both say such crossover voting is unlikely to decide the election for one candidate or the other, they admit it does happen.
"It does leave room for mischief," said University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Barry Burden about the state's open primary. "The question would be whether Republican voters take advantage of that."
Wisconsin voters do not have to declare a political party in advance of voting. That means Republicans can vote in the Democratic primary and vice versa.

The “racist stereotypes” are all from the old Hollywood perceptions of the Americans of African origin. And “liberals” (those who style themselves to be “progressive thinkers”) have never let go of the stereotypes, else why would they so thoroughly trash Condoleezza Rice or Clarence Thomas, calling them “Uncle Tom” and “Aunt Jemima”?
Some of our best citizens have come from among the ranks of the Americans of African origin, descended from freed slaves and struggled up through all the layers of prejudice and limited opportunity, as witness the Tuskagee Airmen of the Second World War. These young men (old now, and mostly gone) proved themselves in the most trying of contests, fully the equal of any of their cohorts. Quietly, and without much fanfare, the sons and daughters of these sons and grandsons of slaves accepted the American challenge, and proved themselves to be real competitors in the business, legal, and professional occupations. The stereotype of the athlete, the drug addict, the sleazy master of prostitution rings, has ALL been perpetuated by these same “liberals”, who have no idea that there may be somebody out there with a different skin hue, that is even BETTER than they are, but still undiscovered.
So far, all the wrong things have been discovered about Barack Hussein Barama, Jr. The Democraticans still consider him to be the “black guy”, even though he has practically nothing at all in common with the street-wise thug from Chicago’s South Side.
I did not create the stereotypes, and I don’t believe them.
Americans of African origin are capable of much better than that.
It is just that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., is not trying to be better than that. He is playing on the guilt of the white Americans, and especially “liberal” white Americans, for all it is worth.
In a way Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton never could.
“All week they have been telling us that Obama is in the lead in delegate count but now suddenly today, Hilliary is in the lead.”
And look, as we speak she is trying to cheat in MI and FLA!!!
Get rid of her. This is just the tip of the iceberg with her cheating!!!! You haven’t seen anything yet. VOTE OBAMA!
Also, they are stating that Obama will have trouble with Hispanics. So if he is the nominee in the General they will probably all vote for our Mr. Amnesty!
The sooner Hillary CLinton and her screeching, lying voice are out of my television, radio, sphere, the better - vote Obama today!
“I am trying to find out why this is so”.
You all know that she is screwing with the Obama Votes in New Mexico.
Who you vote for is irrelevant. The only Obama is in the race (although he is too clueless to realize it) is to provide some token opposition to Hillary. The moderates who would have had a chance at beating her were disposed of early. The Hillary-MSM machine will go on to win the general easily.
Quite the game of politics. It’s so no win and apparently hopeless all the way around that one loses sight of the stakes.
People think that McCain is as liberal and can do just as much damage to the country as either of these two.
That may be true, but I seriously doubt that.
We’re virtually guaranteed that none of the 3 will be great...but it’s VERY unlikely the two hypocrats will even be remotely good for the country.
The party AND the country COULD be damaged by McCain.
But the OVERWHELMING issue in my mind is which candidate will harm the country MOST and which will not only damage the party but very well may set it back if not deal it AND conservatism a permanent death blow and that is CLEARLY Clinton.
She knows EXACTLY what she has in mind from stripping the military to gay rights crammed down parents throats in govt schools to MANDATORY healthcare...as close to the soviet union as imagineable...and with a hypocrat congress she’ll do UNTOLD decades long and permanent damage.
The clearest choice is to beat her as early as we can! Eliminate the very worst choice early, because we simply don’t HAVE A GOOD CHOICE!
VOTE for no one at all or Obamanation of Islam if you must vote!
The Hillary-MSM machine will go on to win the general easily.
Aren’t there still 27 States left? This makes an Obama win quite possible with the help of Crossover Votes Against Hillary. Sure beats a vote to Huck or Paul!!!
Hillary is more beatable than Obama, at this point. Her negatives are very high and very solid. Much more polarizing, much more likely to get repubs out to vote against her.
The woman from Hell conveniently has more superstoopid delegates than the Obaminable Snowjob man, so it is better if all Republicans/Independents compensate by voting for the Obaminable Snowjob man.
This strategy can be determined by examining the Dum primary schedule and noting that Obaminable has to pick up delegates in February to compensate for expected losses in March (more probable in larger states of Texas, Ohio) and again in April (Pennsylvania).
The Dums use proportional allocation of delegates so unless there is a total collapse of one Dum candidate, it is likely that the race will remain close.
To sum up, vote for the Obaminable Snowjob man.
Yup...those two creatures have alot of unfinished business to do! And it aint for the sheeple either!
Not only will they select the very worst liberal judges, but they’ll select the most whacked out DESTRUCTIVE liberal judges...pardon the most felons, come up with so many anti-partiot acts that’ll make your head spin...
Bubba’s got LOTS of lessons to teach REPUBLICANS about that little undone unfinished business about his impeachment...and all those gates...Bubba’s got LOTS of records to set straight and LOTS of history to rewrite!
Nah, don’t let the Clintons’ soil the presidency AGAIN!
No I did not. How so?
“Bubba’s got LOTS of lessons to teach REPUBLICANS about that little undone unfinished business about his impeachment.”
You are so right, even I had not thought of that! The two are very vengeful human beings!
I’d rather have a liberal who fights fairly than one who doesn’t.
Welcome, I too am a transplant from Tucker/Atlanta GA area. Been here in Menomonee Falls now about 15 yrs. I have an advantage though in that I was born in upstate NY and still remember, somewhat fondly, the massive amounts of snow we had there. Thought is was great then, no school, sledding, snowball fights with that brat kid who lived down the street. And Christmas just wasn’t the same somehow when we lived down south. Well I liked the White Christmas but that was a month and a half ago. I’m with you, enough already.
Now back to mcpain, have been trying to talk myself into ways I could vote for him in the general, but have to date all attempts have failed.
McCain’s got a better chance at beating Shrill, BUT I don’t think he has a prayer. Particularly with little to no support from the right.
The best chance o keep those two creatures out is Obama.
Same here. My state hasn't had its primary yet, and McCain doesn't need my vote (not that I would have given it to him anyway). So I'll be voting for Obama.
Never underestimate the Clinton Machine. They have been working on the swing states for years, and she will win in November if she is the candidate.
We can deal with a pie-in-the-sky liberal for four years. But we may not recover from Clinton 44.
McCain doesn't have a prayer in November -- it won't even be close. So Obama is the logical choice, and he is getting my vote. This pattern will repeat in every open primary state from her on out. You just watch.
I will. Can't stand this wom...er... thing...
Almost certainly, they are counting the super delegates. They shouldn’t count them yet because they can change their vote.
