many times they're conservatives who are troubled or disgusted by the lack of compassion for all of the citizens. So the Ryan/*Romney ticket will push many many republicans and independents to the left, once they realize that their lives, their neighbors, their children, are nothing more than a chart on a power point presentation.

we are probally seeing some liberal and Moderate republicans see present GOP as It Is and see Obama as the moderate he trully Is
and see he's best choice.The site shows Obama has actully cut taxes.A shame more won't mention this.

given all the voter suppression that seems to have escaped Holder's attention (except for a few token gestures),
and given Citizen$ United, and last but not least, given that most of our nations' votes are counted secretly by
GOP owned voting machine companies
(which has never been fixed)..

notice that two of the above three heavily pro-GOP phenomenon have just been put into place, since Obama's
election, in preparation for 2012.

but became those folks that switched over to Reagan and Bush in the 80's, then learned their lesson and came back to the light. When I was working the Clinton campaign, I sent Dad an "Another Republican for Clinton" button, which he proudly wore to the polls! He said he got some dirty looks, and a couple of grunts, (Florida, don'cha know!) but he just laughed at them.

The folks holding this sign probably are those good, decent, solid, moderate to liberal Republicans that have been drummed out of the party since they have functioning brain cells. These two are still holding out hope that their party will return to decency and common sense after this election cycle. So after the repubs run a ticket of Christy/Coulter in 2016, we'll probably see them with a banner saying "EX-Republicans for Hillary"!

There seemed to be quiet a few Republicans that voted for Obama in 2008. We could use their help again.

We have few if any major primary challenges on the Democratic ticket. By registering Republican, I can strategically vote AGAINST candidates during the primaries. The general election is anything goes, but PA requires a party affiliation and you can't switch it at the last minute. I did that in NH, but there you could walk in, change registration on the spot, and change it back on the way back out.

I've googled several ways, using several statemtns and finally came up with just one article for a dude who says he will vote for Obama, but feels Bain records speak "positively" for themselves.....but I can't find a site.

Seems to me buying twitter'ers would be in the same category as setting up a fake "dems are pro Romney" sites.
