(Vanity)Texas and Ohio Democratic Primaries allow Republicans and Independents to vote-Time to Freep
Vanity ^

Posted on 02/23/2008 11:26:37 AM PST by JohnRand

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's must-win states of Ohio and Texas are no cakewalk for her, largely because independents and crossover Republicans are welcome to vote in their Democratic primaries.

Perhaps our Ohio and Texas patriots ought to FREEP these polls for Hillary Clinton? Not only do I think she would be easier to beat, but it is also entertaining as all heck watching these two Dim's hammer each other!

I used to think this too, but I believe now is the time to knock out the Clintons for good. We can deal with Obama later.

I know where you’re coming from, it is quite satisfying to watch her crumble. I tink it would be even more fun to watch her crumble and wilt in November when the stakes are the highest!

i’ve been really considering it. And at first i was thinking to vote obama but as i’ve seen this unfold i think the better vote may be for clinton. I voted clinton one time before when i was young dumb and stupid.

What’s funny is they keep saying how many voted in early voting touting these big #s. But i think it may be people just like me looking to help choose the Dims candidate being their propaganda machines, posing as the press picked ours.

I”m not jumping to do anything until primary day.

I would think tactically GOPers should vote for Hillary. While Obama probably has more flaws on Socialist tendencies to exploit, I worry about the possible wave of new voters he might bring to offset it.

HRC won’t bring any new wave of voters and would get trounced by McCain IMO.

Vote for Hillary to keep it close....Then sit back and watch the rats rip each others throats out. Pass the popcorn.

One step ahead of you FRiend. I am a newly registered and undeclared voter in TX. I will be going to the polls with my wife and have also convinced two conservative buddies to do the same.
For only a day we will be voting for the Hildabeast in an effort to force a brokered convention and leave us with the worst candidate(had to tell) and a divided party.
I know we can beat Hillary and am tied of this helter-skelter,pied-piper, messianic, cult of personality that is known as OsamaObama. He’s too unpreditable and half the country already hates her. Why waste a vote on McCain?
Plus, my LIB relatives are so pissed I am doing this...that’s just the added bonus :)

I completely agree. Both of them are totally WRONG for this country, I just am worried about the tidal wave that seems to be building under Obama’s boat...

On another thread it said if you vote in the Democrapic primary you’ll get branded a Democrat for 2 years?? Does anyone know if this is true? Does it get recorded anywhere which side you vote on? I think it is good strategery to vote for Hillary.

I’d rather knock Obama out for good while he’s inexperienced and deal with Clinton later. Give Obama some experience plus with his likability and charisma, and he’ll be unstoppable. His lack of experience is our ONLY card against him right now.

I don’t know. But it would seem to add a bit of excitement to the process, a little “cloak and dagger” type of feel.

I’d like to see Hillary win the nomination, actually. I find her much less scary, in a demagoguery-sort of way, than Obama. Obama is slick and teflon, and many of our fellow citizens do not seem to be thinking. He scares me to death.

My husband and I were wondering if we could do this. We are going to vote for Hillary.

I will NOT do anything to help the ‘rats. Let them sink or swim on their own, they will get nothing from me.

If Hillary Clinton wins Ohio and Texas by large margins she will be the democrat nominee without a fight and hence you will be deprived very quickly from the entertainment show you just mentioned. Also she is not easier to beat than Obama in the general elections, I used to think like this but not anymore.

I have voted and had to select from voting in the Republican or dem primary. I wasn't about to forego voting for other key candidates (Texas Supreme Court, senators, etc.) just to lodge a protest vote for a dem. I lodged my protest by NOT voting for McCain to send him a message re: his willingness to reward illegal lawbreakers. Poppycock to that one!

To your questions: No, not true. In November, we'll have a ballot with ALL parties' candidates listed.Next, it is recorded for that primary only.
