Does anyone else think it odd that the Republicans are throwing their own

[saracat]

frontrunner and potential nominee under the bus? this alleged"lobbyist" scandal has a GOP origination and too many repugs seem more and more enamoured of Obama. And Obama sounds more and more repuglike everyday. Not only does he support corporations and is against universal healthcare but he now likes vouchers. Remember, Lieberman was his mentor.Is my tinfoil hat on too tight or are these unlikely to be coincidences? Why would Hannity, even jokingly, say thank you to the Oabamites for "stopping"Hillary? Hannity is just dumb enough to speak the truth.

I'm not sure I agree that this is a concerted effort by Republicans, although I am concerned about the open primaries. Here's my take on Republicans voting for Obama:

Some vote because they genuinely like him, and his policies. These will vote for him in the GE.

Some vote because they hate McCain. Whether or not they'll have remorse and vote Republican in the GE, just sit home, or vote for Obama remains to be seen. Probably a mixture.

Some vote because of emails they've gotten from various Republicans telling them to vote Obama in the Democratic primaries, to help eliminate Hillary. These will definitely vote Republican in the GE.

I think open primaries are evil. If someone wants to vote in a Democratic primary, they should register as a Democrat. It's not a "Democrat and Independent" primary!
