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.
I apologize for not clarifying...I lump all dems into one big stinking pile. Sarah might have a chance in NH IF they would close the primary and let actual registered Republicans choose their candidate without outside shenanigans. Let registered party voters choose their candidates in the primaries, and the independents can make up their minds in the general. (I have actually been at the table while ‘independent dems’ decide which of the weakest GOP candidates they should support in the GOP primary. They get the biggest kick out of sticking it to the pubbies...means more to them than voting in their own primary. Sad.)
