Did Republican crossovers keep Hillary alive?

Posted on 03/05/2008 8:55:14 AM PST by reaganator

The total of McCain and Huckleby votes in Ohio yesterday were approximately 955,000.

The total of Obama and Clinton votes in Ohio yesterday were approximately 2,150,000.

Clinton won by approximately only 227,000 votes.

Where were the Republicans? Did at least 227,000 Republicans crossover yesterday and vote for Hillary?

In Texas, Clinton won by approximately only 98,000 votes. There in Texas there was also a much smaller number of Republicans voting for McCain and Huckleby. It's sure very reasonable to think that at least 98,000 Republicans crossed over in Texas.

Did the Republican voters keep Hillary in the race?

If they did, they were stupid for doing so.

If they did they are fools! Fools. She has they organization. To win in apathetic America today you just need to fire up your base. The rest will come along.

Yes, of course. Exactly as democrat crossovers gave us McCain.

Would you rather Obama be standing unopposed today for the nomination?

As it is, neither Obama or Clinton will be able to achieve the number of delgates needed by the time the primary process ends.

Wouldn’t you rather have these two super egos bringing dirt up on each other for the next 5 months? And spending 10’s of millions of dollars doing so.

Where were the Republicans?

This Ohio Republican refused to participate. First time I missed a vote in 22 years.

What the hell were Republicans thinking? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Wrong! What better way to discourage the Obamination Dems from supporting Clinton and uniting the Republican party and independents against her?

Just from personal observations, a LOT of Republicans I know crossed over, despite my warnings. I would guess that most Republicans that I know crossed over. Our county is strongly Republican, yet the democrat primary ballot was a 2 to 1 margin over Republican.

Why do you think they were stupid? Who do you think is the weaker candidate to run against Johnny Mac, Hillary or Obama? Obama has had too much momentum, he was on track to win this thing...now they will most likely have a brokered convention. THAT is a good thing.

BTW, I disagree with you.

I voted for Obama in Texas so my vote canceled out a Rush worshiper.

Welcome to FR.

I’m a Republican in Texas who voted for the black candidate, Alan Keyes.

So I didn’t vote for McCain or Huckabee so I guess my vote didn’t “count” in your model.

For what it's worth...

Our local conservative radio guy just ran an audio clip of Karl Rove speaking last night: “Based on Rasmussen and other polls... Twice as many Democrats are defecting (crossing over and voting Republican) and voting for McCain in tonight’s election than Republicans voting for Hillary or Obama.”

Meanwhile, all Democrats are in a state of panic because their nomination will not be settled prior to the convention.
