Freeps talked about voting against Kerry in Mass primary Tuesday. Can they?
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 02:55 PM by blm
Are GOPs allowed to cross over in Mass.for the primaries? Is this more PUMA actions against those Dems who supported Obama early?

Any Mass DUers who can offer insight into what's going down on Tuesday?

3. Jerome Corsi once claimed he was moving to Massachusetts
so he could run against Kerry when he was up for election. Guess he changed his mind.

10. Like Corsi or any freeper REALLY wants to debate Kerry. heheh. That worked out so well
for every other person who has debated Kerry. After the debates in 2004, the RNC and GOP officials had to go into overdrive to steal that election for Bush.

7. Dunno... not familiar with that part of Mass politics...but, it's Tuesday.

I never delved into it because it was never an issue before with Kennedy and Kerry races.

Since freep actions against Dems are more common now, and PUMA's seeking revenge against Obama supporting Dem lawmakers, it now seems to be an issue.

8. You can not vote against anyone, you can only vote for someone else
There is a great difference between the two.

over in 2000 and voted in the Republican primary for John McCain against Bush and then changed back. But you have to be a mass resident.

12. So, if there's low turnout but antiKerry GOPs and PUMAs are motivated to vote
out of revenge, the know nothing O'reilly could pull this out with the help of GOPs? Sheesh. Lieberman depended on GOPs and they came through for him.
