In some view points that's one in the same.

I think Republicans are so disappointed with their own candidate, that they are now resorting to this kind of tactic out of desperation and fear. They know McCain can't win on his own merits, so they are trying to interfere with the Democratic primary.
I was disappointed with ALL the candidates. Just that I feel McCain is the lesser of the three evils we have left.....like others do.

The fact is that the next president will be a Democrat, so they should be thinking about who they really want.
LOL...the way things are going that Democrat for President wish isn't going to happen. I can see Hillary supporters split on McCain and Obama and I can also see Obama supporters either doing the same or staying at home. Notice how McCains numbers are rising in regards to the general election?

I support Obama over Clinton, but imagine if these Republicans do succeed in putting her over the top, and she wins the general election too. I'd love to see Rush and the rest of these "strategic" voters have to suck on it for the next four years --- THEY voted for her.
I CANNOT understand how you could support Obama with everything that's out there on the dude but hey, your choice. As for a Clinton presidency.....NEVER happen! Come November, the LAST thing people are going to want to vote for is either a Clinton or a Bush.

Have a good one!:s4:
