I am in NH...I see what the problem is...he is talking about REGISTERED Democrats; whereas I am talking about Democrats who mask themselves as ‘independents’ so they can deliberately screw with the GOP primary. The other poster is correct...REGISTERED Dems have to vote in their own primary...the ‘independent’ ones (and there are LOTS of them) vote for the GOP ‘sad sack’ (last time it was McCain); then reverse course to vote Democrat in the general. It is a very effective strategy. That is why I am CONVINCED that if Sarah runs; she will LOSE NH; and the media will shred her alive. That is why I hope South Carolina has their primary before NH. Closing the primaries would certainly help...
I know you live in NH and I’m now completely clear on the open primary in your state and I agree with you about the Independents playing games: masking themselves as Indy’s when they’re really democrats. It’s a game played in states that permit Indy’s to vote in either primary and that sux big time. The two parties ought to put a stop to the practice.
Sarah has one chance of winning NH and that chance is if the so-called INDYs decide to vote for her thinking she’s the weakest to go against Obama, but I think they’d get more of a kick out of handing her a colossal loss.
