With McCain GOP nominee, should Pubs in remaining states pick Hillary or Obama?

Illinois is already completed, so my state is out.

But if you live in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, North Carolina, Wisconsin, etc. left in the Democrat party primaries. With Obama and Clinton fairly close, but Obama winning by large margins lately.

Would conservatives be better off entering the Democrat primaries they can participate in to vote for Hillary and keep it close or vote for Obama to help him get a huge delegate lead and end the Clinton's stranglehold that has been over the Democrat party since 1992.

Conservatives who can't support McCain and nothing else really left to decide nationally, other than the number of delegates Huckabee and Ron Paul will get.

With Romney endorsing McCain encouraging his delegates to McCain as payback for Huckabee undercutting Romney throughout the primary. Huckabee, game over.

Too bad Church Lady is probably voting for Obama.

I think Hillary would not want to go down in history as the first female President AND as one who allowed us to suffer terrible defeat in a war.

I think Obama would let the Marxists and Muslims take over U.S. strongholds around the world and at our doorstep.

"As bad as either of them might be Barry is a sinister man, there is something so deep in him as to be dangerous."

Any rationale behind this statement, or are you just iterating your 'feelings?'

Obama sure seems to be an idiot (take his comments about bombing in Pakistan--during a FRAGILE time in that country--or, as you probably have seen, his lack of actual, specific ideas on how to move the country forward. And, of course, there is also his plan to withdraw from Iraq, the key to 'winning' the war on islamofascism (even more than Afghanistan).

However, as far as being sinister, he does not appear to be that much more so than Clinton.

How can we vote D (not that I would ) in the Primary if we are Republican?

By a simple change of registration. We did this week; our primary is in June.

He is. Read up on his stance on voting against (or killing in committee) bills that would protect a baby in the case of a botched abortion and they survive it.

Have read some freeper comments on that. Just have a bad reaction to some people’s melodramatic hyperbole.

Good analysis.

We had alrready reached the same conclussion, and changed outr registrations this week.

In June, we’ll both be putting on two pairs of Latex gloves, and voting voting for Hillary.

In November, if enough follow this line of action, the exit pollers, pundits, and DNC officials are going to be wondering why there are so many more Republican votes than registered Republicans...and why there are so many “missing” Dem votes.

As an added bonus, it will drive the KOS/DU Diebold conspiracy freaks into an even more elevated height of frenzied frothing.

When there is a choice between two evils, I prefer mine straight up and without the mask.

I (and many of us on FR) may often see through the masks, but they do fool too many people too much of the time for too long a time.

Think Clintons, Perot (not that he is inherently “evil”, just referring to that other, “folksy” mask) etc. McCain is now trying to wear a “conservative” mask, when he takes off his “maverick” one. Obama doesn’t have a mask, or if he has one, that socialist / “progressive” / populist mask or his real socialist / “progressive” / populist “face” won’t be attractive for long and will not “wear” well. When Clintons lost their “middle of the road, conservative Democrat” mask in their first years in WH, they lost big, put the mask back on and declared “Era of Big Government is over”.

When the “face” is the same, the only question that remains is “Mask or no mask?” To me, the answer is simple - straight up and without the mask, please...

Hillary is beatible. Ubama seems too strong among independent and maybe among fool conservatives who hate McCain.

Obama only seems that way, by his own design. Vote Hillary! We can beat her! Obama will serve 8 years if he gets elected, and that is not an exaggeration. We thought that Clinton could only serve one term, but he served two...with a little help from Perot, but believe me...this would happen again, if it looked like he might not make it. Soros has plenty of money to spend.

You are? Well then you’ll just love Al Sharpton on the Supreme Court, won’t you?

As for the rest of us I think that a vote for Hillary is best since Obama has a cult-like following that will work their tails off to get him elected while a Hillary voctory will demoralize these Democrats into staying home after their savior is defeated and doesn’t rise again after three days.

“Vote for Huck and defeat McQueeg. Force a brokered convention.”

exactly. Why was that option not considered?

She who cannot be looked upon must be stopped at the earliest opportunity by any means necessary. While both are way wrong on policy, the clintons are effective and vindictive. Obama will rule, if elected, like he has run, in platitudes signifying nothing.

Agreed ...you are thinking right.....Clinton needs our support so she can get to the convention and then lose there.....a Clinton Obama ticket would be very difficult as Obama would not be vetted and the kool aid drinkers would come out for him thinking 2016....he would never select her...nor would she take it...she would hope he would loose and go again in 2012. The thing these deadenders don’t understand is that the democrates could get 16 years not just 4. Anything that goes wrong if they are elected will be nlamed on Bush. Tne senate and house will just keep beating the Bush adminstration into the 2012 election through all kinds of investigations.

Your vote only gets added to the total to ‘prove’ the liberals are getting more and more support.

Well, in the primaries that may be a good thing. Something needs to be done to McCain to show him he has to get the base. If he goes with this 'I don't need the base' BS then he is going to lose just because there won't be enough voting for him.

All he would have to do is move away from amnesty on illegal’s and he could start getting some support.

Right now he's going to be running against a "ROCK STAR"! We all know how stupid the general voter can be about that kind of thing.

I mean face it our voting system is equivalent to having about half, maybe more, the drivers on the interstate be chimps. They have no idea what's going on so there is going to be a lot of wreaks.
