Gaming the opposing party's primary by crossing over and voting for who you think will be the weaker opponent is an example of what is wrong with American politics. This partisan extremism in which people feel it is more important for their own party to WIN than it is to do what is right for the country is going to ruin us. If a person really thinks that Clinton would make a bad president but votes for her "strategically" becasue they think she will be easier to beat, then that person is putting their parties chances of winning ahead of the country's best interests, at least in their own mind.

We wonder why politicians can't reach across the aisle and get something done --- it's because of this same mentality. Everyone has bought in to the idea that it is more important for their party to WIN than it is to do what is right for the country.

People used to blame politicians for "dirty tricks," but now we get a quarter million or so Republican voters participating in the dirty tricks. It's sad.

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.

It would be one thing if Republicans were voting in the Democratic primary and picking the Democrat they thought would be the best. I can understand a person wanting as many good choices as possible on the ballot. But it's really pathetic that they think their own candidate is so weak that they would try to create a "lesser of two evils" election rather than just vote for the best people available. The fact is that the next president will be a Democrat, so they should be thinking about who they really want.

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.
