Chicago suburbs seem to be mirroring Ohio: Dems crossing over

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

Have we figured out what this means?

Dems did the math so they might as well make their vote count?

They're happy with either Bernie or Hillary and are trying to tank Trump, or Cruz, which one is worse?

1. 'Dems did the math so they might as well make their vote count? '

if they did the math, they should know that there vote counts very much in the dem primary.

4. Who were they supporting in the first place?

I've seen some anecdotal reports that Dems in Ohio who are voting for Kasich are convinced Hillary has the nomination sewn up, so they don't need to bother to vote for her.

That reminds me of the various stories of the 1948 election, you know, the one that got us President Dewey? I've never quite figured out if the stories are apocryphal or not, but I've heard more than one of Republicans gathered at a party that election night, and they were so confident Dewey would win they hadn't even bothered to vote.

In fact, we want to encourage that attitude among the Hillary supporters. Yeah, go ahead and vote in the Republican primary. Don't worry, Hillary's going to get the nomination, she doesn't really need you right now.

5. The suburbs already

...lean right. Did they name which suburbs?

6. They didn't, but they said it's looking like record turnout

8. The Trib reported over 130K voted early in Cook County...

... the previous record was 81k in 2008 Primary between Obama and Clinton.

Cook County, as you no doubt know, is very deep blue. Looks like record turnout all over Chicagoland. Its great to see so many people showing up at the polls for a primary.

10. I agree

....the two rural polls I was at today in McHenry County were much more crowded than usual. I drove past three more polls and the lots were full of cars.

12. True here in the 10th

very RW here

7. I almost pulled an R ballot

if I had, it would be because I saw voting against Trump as more important than voting in the Dem primary.

I just got back from voting a bit ago. I had heard of enough d's crossing over that i feel confident Kasich wins. I didn't really want to give up my d registration so after some hesitation, I pulled the D ballot. Voted for Sanders. I think he gives us the best chance at winning in the general.

9. I think this might be it, Ohio. The Trump effect or Anti-Trump vote

11. I did that last time to try to Deep Six Rauner

Obviously I was pretty much alone

DOn't waste your vote on a republican ballot

Vote for Bernie let the rest of it play out int eh GE
