You got it! Republicans are voting in the open primary for Obama, because he is the weakest link and his voting record will kill his candidacy when used by the Republican political war machine. All those who want to silence conservative-moderate dems, you are just naive and many have now decided to defect to McCain, if Obama wins the primary. We know he may win, since the DNC fixed the vote and since Republicans are voting for him in the open primaries.

rebuplicans alone in a dark room?

everyone from real clear politics to msnbc have run stories about it. Most of them credit Karl Rove with organizing rank and file republicans to vote for Obama in these primaries.

he also organized if you go way back to the very beginning, Obama suddenly got a 100 million bucks and his honeymoon with the press began- that to can be traced to Bush's own former fund raisers-

you know the republicans hands are all over this primary just like when they knee capped Dean.

Rove also suggested moving the Fla primary up knowing the dem would react- Dean clearly an Obama supporters has gone from silencing Fla, to offering to caucus - which the dem leaders told him to stick it to put it nicely to refusing to address the issue at all until they either support Obama or make no difference at all-

so we gave away the primary to the republicans picks and gave away the GE to Dean's arrogance- no way in this election will Florida ever go Dem, not anymore- Clinton was our best shot.

Had Dean kept his hands off Fla and Michigan Clinton would still be the front runner even if Obama kept all his wins.

So you know I think we have all been disillusioned by the party that we ever really had a voice.

What about people who don't belong to a party who want to be part of the selection process?

for the super delegates. This has a long time to play out. Point is I think the super delegates have a very important role in the party. If Hillary does loose Texas or Ohio she should stay in until the end. If this is the case, and our primary has been tampered with, the super delegates will shift and make everything alright. I don't really care what the republicans do with the primary. Our asses are covered! Woo HOO!!!

Democrats came out in large numbers to vote for McCain in the open primaries in 2000.

What goes around comes around

Indeed it does. You'd think we learn that by now.

Now the republicans are trying to manipulate our primaries by voting for the weaker general election candidate, Barack Obama, so he can become the democrat nominee. The GOP(U) knows they have no more dirt on Hillary and they are afraid of her--she's too smart for them and they know it. After they shred Barack, his wife, and all his friends and relatives (like they did to Clintons in the '90s, and the swiftboat disgrace on Kerry), they will somehow cheat their way into the Whitehouse again.

Don't they care that the republican party has placed our country on the brink of a depression? Republicans are either selfish and greedy, power hungry, or just plain ignorant. They would rather hurt the USA instead of letting a superior leader be elected. They just vote for a baboon as long as he's a republican. I guess they are just plain stupid.

Hillary has the brains, the experience, and nothing left for them to trash. GO HILLARY. In 8 years I will vote for Barack Obama.

The one thing that has concerned me over the past 20 years as a democrat is the simple fact that the majority of us have no idea what we are talking about, nor we don’t have the ability to think for our selves. Its ridiculous that some of you think the republicans fixed the election so bush can win. There is a nice saying, if you don’t get a handle on that brain to mouth thing you'll never fully understand. As I read this blog I realize non of you have a clue about what democracy is. You must all be lost college students who are keeping the views of their unadvised parents.
