Did Republicans Hijack the Democratic Primary?
The answer is, yes, they did. Rush Limbaugh did the hijacking. He told Republicans to vote for Clinton in the Democratic primary. Her margin in Texas was 98,000 votes. When all the numbers get crunched, you'll find that many Clinton voters have a Republican primary voting history.
Look at how low the Republican primary vote was in some races. In Ellen Cohen's district, the two Republicans polled just 2,715 early votes in 53 precincts. Where were all the voters? In the Democratic primary, voting for Clinton.

I gotta agree with Paul on this. I have spoken to more than one staunch Republican in Texas who voted for Clinton based on Limbaugh's persuasion. Maybe I'm crazy, but I didn't know people still listened to talk radio, much less Rush. If I were Obama, I would bring this up to the DNC when he and Clinton come to blows for the super delegates after the primaries. Looks like they are both in it for the long haul.
With Clinton saying on the Today Show, she'd be glad to have Obama as her running mate, she reminds me of Sanjaya from American Idol. Poor thing thinks she won and people in Texas love her. Is it good or bad to see people 'abuse' the system? Are they really doing their candidate a favor by voting for who they think is the worst candidate to put up against their guy? This rarely works in the Gauntlet III, where the small, skinny chick on the rookie squad has torn through 4 'stronger candidates.'
