Bet they weren’t expecting a Fred comeback. I’m not up on all the ins and outs of this plan, but what if Huckabee and McCain dont’ do well. What would that do to their plan?

On the other hand, maybe the Dems should vote Republican and keep voting Republican. Though that would mean abandoning the Socialist-Democrat party of the far left. It may even bring said far left party back to something near the center instead of a Kos/Move-on/Code Pink/Soros screaming fest.

At least the Republicans allow one to vote for all the candidates in Michigan and the RNC will accept their delegates.

And in 1998 the Republicans helped the weakest Democrat win the governor’s primary.
It seems that there is a long history of this behavior in MI, but let’s try to put all of the blame on one party. lol

Yup, because that is what is happening now. The Democrats are doing it. I’m not hearing any right personality calling for the Republicans to vote for Hillary in the present so right now, in 2008, this call by Kos IS the fault of one party. I find it funny how the Democrats who constantly cry foul about voting shenanigans have no problem voting for someone they oppose just to create shenanigans.

Only the Democrats man.

Mitt is attractive because he would lose to the Dem’s. No way you could say the same about McCain, Rudy or Fred. No, a Mitt or Huckster win would be good news for Dem’s.

But thats neither here nor there. This will have little effect in MI.

Should any more of the primaries where Republicans voted in the Democratic primary be mentioned ?? You seem to have failed to mention ALL of the times in the past this has happened.
1972 1/3 of the voters in the Democratic primary were Republicans who voted for George Wallace
In 1998 Republicans again crossed over and voted for Jesse Jackson, assuring him of wide margins in heavily Republican districts.
And in 1998 the Republicans helped the weakest Democrat win the governor’s primary.
It seems that there is a long history of this behavior in MI, but let’s try to put all of the blame on one party. lol
As for Mitt being more attractive to the left, I think that position has to go to McCain. Anti torture, pro amnesty, concerns about global warming are all pretty acceptable to both centrists and leftists, while anathema to the right.

All I see on the democrat side is a bunch of young crazies pushing Obama as the 2nd coming of Christ. They are in for a huge shock. I know hundreds of people, a lot of the democrats, and I don’t know one person that will vote for Obama. Voters look throught the fog of BS and see someone who’s only qualification to be POTUS is he’s black and deserves the office. It’s fun to play the game right now but like Russian Roulette it will end with a bang. Just like the now shrinking economy, it boomed until the crazy democrats were elected to run congress. After a year of ‘do nothing’ the economy is failing. Only an idiot will have to ask why?

If Mitt does win, it doesn’t help him. It exposes him as being more attractive to the far left, and loads his opponents with that ammo.

Childish political move from the lost leftists. sad, but typical too.
