1) Let me get this straight: when Republicans vote for Hillary, it’s because they are trying to interfere with the primary, but when Republicans vote for Obama, it’s because he appeals to people across party lines, right?

2) There is no basis for your statement of disqualifying delegates, and even if there was Obama still would not have enough delegates to win the nomination. It’s impossible to get to 2000 without supers.

3) In Michigan, Democrats (led by DailyKos) were also encouraging fellow Democrats to switch parties for a day and vote for Romney just to prolong the nomination. It’s the same mischief and the only solution is to stick to closed primaries. If someone votes Democrat in the primary they must also vote Democrat in November.

The truth is that Republicans are sick of McCain and his party, and some are voting for a Democrat because they want a new direction, and some are voting just to cause trouble. There is no way to tell which or how much. A lot of Hillary’s “Republican” votes are legitimate, and the poll numbers show that if she is not the nominee many of her true supporters will not vote Democrat. We should focus on this very real concern instead of throwing accusations about stripping delegates or rigged elections.

A Democrat will be the next president unless we allow this internal bickering to take down the party. Instead of posting anti-Hillary rants, I’d suggest you acknowledge the reality of a long primary and help work to set a positive agenda.
