“Hillary can still take Kentucky, Texas, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania and be right with him.”

Texas is an open primary state. What do Republican Texans on that day have do other than back McCain or Huck? I’m tempted to vote in my first ever Dem primary against the Clintons!

I don’t think Hillary will take TX.

We like our thugs straight up American, not mixed up with Chinese, or Russian.

I live in Texas. That’s what I’m doing.

I would suggest you confirm the rules for casting ballots and registration. Just in case the situation changes later. In my state you need to be a Republican/Demoncrat in order to case a ballot for the same. It's supposed to be a 45 day waiting period in order to register and cast a ballot although this is always ignored in demoncrat districts. Independents voted on the Republican ballot and it was estimated that 17-18% of McCain's victory was via non-republican voters.

My point is make sure you have the flexibility to change back one way or another so you'll have your options open come November.

I still harbor that with the conservative backlash building against the GOP, we are not only headed for a brokered convention, but it may hold a far different results for John McCain than the MSM would have us believe.

I only know a few liberals who support him outside of a few resigned FReepers and depressed republicans. No one intentionally supports him otherwise.

Yes it is. In 2004 I voted for Sharpton. My county doesn't have a REP. county chairman to conduct an election. So, it's rat primary or nothing.

Heh, the first, last, and only time I voted in a Texas Democrat primary was in 1992, when I went specifically to vote against Bill Clinton (I voted for Paul Tsongas). I'm torn this year with going to the Republican primary to vote against McCain, or to the Democrat primary to vote against Hilliary...

Might as well since McCain has it locked up in TX

This will be the first time for me to vote for a Dem and I will laugh maniacally at the booth...
