Huh? Maybe some FR pundit can explain this strategy.

We don't like the Clintons.
They're scum.
Pretty simple answer.

although viewed as useful in this instance, is allowing crossover voting in a primary really a good idea ?

What would be interesting is the percentage who plan to stab their country . . . I mean vote for Obama in the general election.
To: LouAvul
I live in Texas and this confuses me. We have a closed primary system. My voter registration card is marked “Republican” and I can’t vote in the DemocRAT primary election. I voted before early voting as I left on a business trip that last beyond election day. I had to tell the election officials my party affiliation before they would send me an absentee ballot. I don’t see how Texas can “cross over” - we don’t have an open primary like several of the earlier states.

Much as I dread hillary, I’m not sure if this is the smart thing to do.

It’ll be easier to take out Obama in the general? Get the wicked witch out of the race as FAST as possible?

Stupid Chris Matthews probably thinks those Republicans will stick with Obama in the general election.

Yea...Republicans are voting for Barak in the primary...but they won’t in the general...does the MSM really think that any republican would support Obama? Please.

Not I. I would not be able to overcome the sense of sheer revulsion for voting for Hillary or Obama even in a primary. I’d rather perform an apdendecomy on myself with a snail fork.

As many as a tenth of the Texans voting in the Democratic contests could be Republicans, and overwhelmingly they favor Obama...Maybe they don't favor "He Whose Middle Name Must Not Be Mentioned" as much as they despise "She Whose Last Name Must Not Be Spoken".

I think more will cross over to vote for Hillary so that Obama does not win in Texas. It will be easier to defeat Senator Clinton in the general election, believe me!

To: LouAvul
Lots of Democrats won’t vote for a black man, that’s why.

Crazy. It will be tougher to bit Obama than Hillary. I plan on voting for Hillary (in the primary only, OK). I want to see the Democratic party divided and, while a Hillary as Commander in Chief is scary, Obama as Commander in Chief is a nightmare.

Personally, I don't think open primaries are a good idea. Ours was closed in Louisiana.
