I wonder if OC will still seem like a good idea if a few precincts are lost because people are suddenly identifiying with being Democrats as they are now, you know, registered as Democrats.

How many precincts will it take for it to be a no-longer-good idea?

If OC can be shown to be a 10% stat problem now and a likely 20% stat problem in '12, perhaps states might see the wisdom of closing their primaries.

Rush could have done a better job explaining this to those of us who wanted Hillary put down, and now that the dust is settling, we need to prep for OC '12, since McCain plans for only one term.

OTOH, I wish we had the primary system the rats have. That way Crist couldn't have given us McCain.

Like a very wise freeper underlined, primary raiding is for the big boys, and this year we could have inflicted even more chaos if we'd had better forecasting skills.

I used to disdain this rat practice until I woke up and McCain was my 'man'.

Not that I won't vote for McCain. I'm just not principled anymore and want to re-gift the rats what they've been giving for the last 10 GEs or so.

You seem to actually believe that those who crossed over to cause mischief, having done so will now STAY as Democrats?

What is your reasoning behind this?
