Two things are in Nehlen’s favor. Low turnout is expected (< 20%), and it is an open primary (i.e., Dems can vote for the Republican they perceive as weaker).
It makes me wonder now, how in the heck did Cantor get beat? By all accounts he should have wiped the floor with his opponent.
Has Sarah Palin, or anyone come out for Nehlen? I don’t see anyone. IF he wins, it will be the biggest upset in a long time.
I've read that the Dems have an active crossover voter campaign against Ryan.
And why would Dems cross over for the one who is weaker?
Is it not possible they cross over because they actually like one of them?
My experience with cross overs in 90% is FOR someone and not against someone. In ‘92 anti-corruption Republicans crossed over to vote for the weaker Carole Mosely-Braun because Republican House MINORITY Leader Michels told us to vote for his Democrat pal Al Dixon.
In ‘98 anti-Corruption Democrats crossed over to vote for anti-Corruption Republican Fitzgerald and they were more than the Pro-Corruption Republicans who crossed over to vote against pro-life Democrat Proshard.
Pro-lifers abandoned pro-life Fitzgerald to vote for Dem Proshard. But pro-lifers have such a poor turnout that it didn’t help him at all and he lost.
Didn’t many Democrats cross over to vote for Trump because they liked Trump? and not because he was the weaker candidate?
