Republicans for Hillary a growing movement

the first three graphs of an interesting read:

Now that John McCain has won the GOP nomination, Republicans are voting in the Democratic primary in increasing numbers, hoping to pick their opponent for the November election, or at least cause more turmoil in our already divisive nomination battle.

Their choice? Hillary Clinton.

Yesterday, in the Mississippi primary, 24% of Hillary Clinton's support came from Republicans. Unlike the Republican support generated by Barack Obama, according to exit polling data, Clinton's Republican support appears to be part of the explicit plan promoted by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh to wreak havoc upon the Democratic Party by voting for Hillary Clinton.

Heh.

Won't work in PA, though. We have a closed primary, so all the Repubs up here in the T would have to switch their registrations.

Of course, Hill should win here anyway. Easy Ed Rendell's comment may not have been PC, but he was right.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Rush and those mindless lemmings who follow what he says will feel real smart if Hillary ends up winning the nomination, then McCain's campaign crashes and burns.
I'm really shocked that many people are willing to vote for someone they can't stand just to play spoiler. I never thought you would get more than a handfull of idiots to do that. People are dumber than I thought.

 

[D-Backs Hack]

Yeah, sure, whatever ...

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Yeah, sure, whatever ...

Arkansas finally comes in handy for her.

Minnesota will be the battleground of battlegrounds, in that match.

Fortunately, we shouldn't get to that point.

People still hate Republicans.
All of them.
The brand is damaged for 10 years or so.
Rinse. Repeat.

A significant number of independents have been influenced precisely that way.

On the other hand . . .

There are still plenty of racists around.

And there isn't a "mainstream" politican in America who inspires as much negative reaction as HRC.

And away we go.

 

[Thanks for comin' out]

So every swing state goes to Hillary and she only wins by 14. I guess we can just cancel the election.

McCain's going to get the old people vote in Florida and if Clinton cheats Obama out of the nomination she won't carry Illinois or Maryland. And I don't think she'd carry New Mexico either.

Look, Republicans will get Clinton to the convention and then she'll blow the **** out of all of their chances.

Just get ready to say it: President. John. McCain.

Either Florida, or Ohio, will go red.

Yes, because the genius that is the Republican party has spent so much time having its incumbents quit, and losing seats belonging to Denny Hastert and Tom Delay, that it will have a lot of energy stored up for this outburst of machiavellian brilliance.

I was ready to say it in 2000, when I voted for him instead of Bush in the primary. If only more people had done the same...

 

[Yawn]

For the record, I voted for him in 2000 too.

I don't think she'd lose Illinois or Maryland.

I am certain she'd lose Iowa, Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico.

And she'd be in a dogfight in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

I'd guess Obama carries five of those six above.

If she cheats Obama out of the nomination there's no way Illinois breaks her way. None.

 

[zeke12]

Perhaps not, but, for now, I'm including it as a reliably Dem. state for either candidate.

Now, if someone could only tell me how a Democrat plans to win Ohio with anything less than stellar African American turnout -- which, lets face it, is almost certainly a byproduct of Clinton cudgeling her way to the nomination -- I'd be interested to hear it.

If she'd ever tried to run for the Senate out of Illinois, she'd have gotten blitzed.

Why do you think she moved to New York?

How does Obama plan to win Illinois with a less than stellar turnout among Democratic regulars?
