The Michigan primary allows for cross-party mischief. DemonRATs can walk in and vote for Republicans they think will be least electable.

I think that a lot of Democrats will be voting for McCain not necessarily to create mischief. What conservatives have labeled as betrayal, liberals and independents see as principled stands on McCain's part. Several of the Democrats will be voting for McCain out of respect. This would be similar to me, if the Republican primary was meaningless, voting for a Lieberman or a Moynihan in the Democrat primaries because I respect the man (not necessarily their views).

In all likelihood, McCain is emerging as the strongest general election candidate which the polling has shown for a while. It would be potentially suicidal for the Democrats to promote the McCain candidancy. His appeal to independents in the general election could hard to overcome.

I listened to Judge Bork's serious criticism of John McCain on the Mark Levin Show, Friday Jan. 11th. I doubt the independants even listen to Mark Levin. They also will not read National Review Online. For a good article by Mark Levin on John McCain, here is his article in the January 11th, 2008 National Review Online:

It is my opinion that we have two real conservative candidates who have a chance of getting the nomination: Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney.

If the independents were to listen the Rush Limbaugh or check his website, they would find more insight about John McCain:

There are innumerable conservative blogs out there questioning John McCain's suitability as our nominee. Are the independents tuned in to anything but what the media spoon feeds them? Here is one calling McCain a "suitcase Republican":
