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.

Hillary’s the easier candidate to beat. Obama may be an empty suit, but he’s a likable empty suit. Put that up against crusty ol’ John and we’ll have crypto-Muslim president.
I don’t think it matters how many primaries Hussein winss or how many delegates he gets. He is mortal and prone to heart attack and other ailments and he is probably as accident prone as others who have gotten in the way of the Clintons.
You have to stop Hillary now.
I don’t know Obama, but I know the Clintons.
So, I’m going to vote for Obama on Tuesday in VA.
Hillary can be expected to turn on her allies, the Jihadists when they “stab her in the back,” i.e. blow up a couple of cities or something equally impolite after she is elected. The woman scorned will do them, then, some damage. Hussein Obama has certain background characteristics that make it less than clear whose side he will be on when the SHTF.
The Clintons have sufficient delegates to prevail, no matter how the rest of the primaries go and no matter what the numbers are now.
If you have a choice, vote for Obama. He is by far their best candidate. The corrupt clintons will sell us out.
I do not agree about voting for Hillary, I think she will be tougher to beat. Obama is the one who is easier. Vote for him! Get rid of Hillary once and for all time! Don’t help her win!
btt
Less than 1/2 hour to see if any disgusted conservatives voted for Obama as we have figured out to do.
It makes me nervous that so many conservatives are “settling” for McCain in the same way some women “settle” for a lesser man because they are desperate to get married, LOL!
The way the primaries have gone so far Obama has supporters in large cities with many African-Americans ~ and that's well over 25 states. He also has all the mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberals and Commies, and they predominate in the PAC NW which is virtually devoid of African-Americans. Think of them as proxy-black voters.
Compare that to what the Hildabeast has. She depends on elderly white women and Hispanics. The women are spread out rather evenly across the country with a "surge" only in Florida.
The Hispanics, in contrast, are located in significant numbers in only 5 or 6 states.
Presuming things continue this way if Hillary gets the nomination she's going to lose her African-American support troops, and it'll be up to elderly white women and Hispanics. That's thin gruel.
If Obamasama gets the nomination he'll lose the broad mass (maybe as much as 20%) of Democrat voters such as those elderly white females and Hispanics, who will not vote for an African-American under any conditions.
The Republicans could run a mummy against either of these two and win.
So, the answer is you can play fun and games and put in a loser, or a loser. Or, you can vote for one of the Republicans running in the primary for President, and a vote for him is a vote against McCain.
It's up to you.
I’m very likely to cross over and vote for the Hildebeast. She has a lot of baggage and very high negatives going into November.
Folks it’s like duck hunting. If you don’t take them out when they’re in the air and within range, you’re going home without your limit.
Besides...wouldn’t it be great to read a headline such as: Cheeseheads Devour Killer Rat. ;>)
Come on Wisconsin, take the Beast out!!!!
Are you saying 20% of DemocRats are racists? Can't possibly be. They are soooooooo tolerant!
I would pay money to see that headline in bold type above the fold.
Two great reasons to vote for Obama:
One, he’s not Hillary. Let’s get the Clinton’s off the political stage forever.
Two, Obama’s easier to beat than Hillary because of the Bradley effect. Many national polls show a tougher race for McCain with Obama as the nominee. However, remember that in several primary races this year Obama’s strength was never there, namely California. Polled voters said they would vote for Obama; he had the lead in several polls before the primary. Then when voters actually had to cast a real vote that mattered, he got blown away by Hillary. The pre-primary polls were horribly wrong in California. Why this obvious Bradley effect hasn’t been pointed out in the media baffles me. Obama’s race probably hurts him more in the general election. When faced with the choice between the maverick war hero veteran and the black radical socialist, I think a majority of white voters will probably pull the lever for McCain.
Minimum 20% ~ maybe 69%. Look at Kansas today. Pretty typical of what’s been going on.
Looks like Obama will win Washington!
Actually I couldn’t do it. Just for the record, I wrote in Thompson.
