“Please be so kind as to explain how a vote for a Republican in the Republican primary can be a vote for a democrat.”
Sure. That vote you would have cast for a Republican was withheld. That puts the Democrat ahead by one vote.
My reply: Mike Huckabee is the only true conservative Republican left in the primary, so by your logic, a vote for rino mccain or libetarian Dr. Paul is a vote for a democrat and one withheld from the only true conservative republican.
McCain is not now and never has been a conservative.
