Anyone listening to cspan...
do you hear all of the callers who are saying they are really republicons who have switched to vote for Obama but really they will vote for Mc Cain. They are saying they just want to get rid of Hillary. Can't you see when you are being played Obama supporters?

2. Some of us knew that from the beginning. But now they may get
caught in their own feces. They have started a movement that might overtake them all. I will laugh my ass off. I will vote for the Dem nominee, whoever it is.

33. I heard Bill O'Reilly get very excited about Obama winning
So it makes since that Repubs like him might want to try to influence the Democratic primaries if its actually legal to do this.

3. There was only one caller I heard admit to that. Others were discussing it, but I don't
think they admitted to doing that.

22. Thank you purpose, for the perspective. I can imagine that
maybe even hundreds or thousands of Rethug voters are crossing over to vote for Obama because they think he is beatable -- but it in no way accounts for his powerful draw when primaries are attracting such overwhelming numbers of voters.

Also - I believe that what the Rethug party elite want is for Clinton to win, that that will best energize their base.

Either way we have a fight ahead of us: Obama will energize the racist Rethug party base, while Clinton will energize the sexist & Clinton-hating portions of the Rethug party base.

5. Or could they be Clinton supporters? Or republicans trying to influence
the future voting? Anonymous callers are nothing to bank on.

8. If you watch CSpan over the last couple of months there were a lot Ron Paul
supporters calling in giving the impression there was a lot more support for Ron Paulthan the election is proving he actually has with independents, republicans and democrats. My point is, I agree with you.

There's no way of really knowing.

6. I already knew that...but, you can't tell Obama supporters this
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 07:42 AM by golddigger
because they won't listen. The red States that voted for Obama will still vote red, Utah, Georgia, kansas, Nebraska, Alaska, South Carolina and so on.

24. Like HRC will win those states
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 09:45 AM by Carolina
If repukes admit to wanting to eliminate HRC from the Democratic nomination, they will definitely come out in droves to make sure she will not become POTUS. So your logic is flawed.

No one can unify the GOP like Hillary. They hate her and will stop at nothing to assure her defeat on November 4th.

12. If anyone is looking at cspan now..
you hear this rightwing ass praising Obama up and down making sure he finds any and everything bad about Clinton. The rightwing never praises a Democrat,there is always an ulterior motive if they do..They all usually stick to the script. Watch the sunday morning talkshow and listen to their talking points. I believe that a lot of the younger voters don't know and have not watched how these people work for a long enough period of time...

15. "Democrat for a Day" - open primaries - not unlike on this board - or the MSM
Which is why it didn't work in the party primary system.

18. Yeah, I'm use to it from the repugs
I lived through it with the Lewinski fiasco so I have to let it roll off my back listening to it. Sadly.

Then he suggests McCain will win popular vote.

19. Obviously. In the GE, HE will be Raygun.
And they would have done away with the bothersome peace and prosperity Clinton legacy in the process. it's a win-win.

20. Or are you being played by trusting an anonymous C-SPAN caller?
I mean, really, have you listened to many C-SPAN callers? They're kinda off their rockers.

If they admit doing it, they should be prosecuted.

23. and HRC is better... (???) when
"They are saying they just want to get rid of Hillary."

If they want to eliminate her from the Democratic nomination, they will definitely come out in droves to make sure she will not become POTUS.

You're being played too if you don't see the flaw in your "logic"

26. This is BS. If Democrats unite behind whoever the nominee is. WE WILL WIN
no matter what. Repukes want you to think they have more voters. Thats BS. If we're energized and support our candidate, we'll beat those bitches. As soon as McCain's shit is brought to the open, he isn't going to look very attractive to anyone.

Obama landslide. If Democrats stick together

But there are not false supporters going to Obama rallies. 20000+ in Seattle alone. This is a movement.

30. I personally know four Republicans here in SC who did exactly that.
And it wasn't a plan among the four; I know them independently, though two of the four are acquaintances. I really believe that's how Obama won SC by such a wide margin and why the Repub turnout here was relatively low.

I'm not a supporter of either of these two right now, but what's going on is obvious. They're voting Obama.

And by the way, in my opinion, that is a stupid thing to do. Hillary is much more beatable in November.

32. This is exactly what I'm telling my republican co-workers to do.
Makes sense to me...Their vote for a republican won't really matter much at this point. The least they can do is lessen the chances of a Hillary presidency.
