In Maryland (where admittedly theres a lot of counting to be done) the differential in Primaries (with same %age of precincts counted) shows 272,000 Democrats to 100,000 Republicans. Looks like more of the rural and suburban precincts and counties have finished up than the urban ones…which seem really slow (maybe because of lines extending past the extended deadline and weather issues?)

The exit polling showed about 7% Republican participation in the Democratic Primary (71% did vote for Obama). Independents and Decline To State were much more important (22%). They went 67% for Obama. But even if the Primary was closed Obama still received 59% of the Democratic votes.

Feel more confident?

I find it kinda cool in way. It doesn’t worry me just knowing how pathetic McCandyCain is as a candidate. Imagine those two going head to head, and in debates. It’ll be laughable I think, and I tend to be cautious and skeptical.

I’ve talked to some Repubs that are leaning Obama, and there’s nothing weird of mischievious about their crossovers. They just like Obama and get inspired. Of course, have had some say say there’s no way they’d vote for a Dem, but you’ll always have that 25% or so.

I feel OK about as well since Obama is also attracting much more of true Liberal base at the same time. Once Clinton gets out of way, the Obama train’s gonna derail the Straight Talk Express.

I think you’re probably right about what VA rethug crossever voters were thinking today. And it’s in McCain’s nature to be a warmonger. Old warriors need wars. I tink it’s less about pandering to George, with whom he has no love lost, than it is just his instinct for a good shock an’ awe opportunity. He’s literally the candidate of four more years, four more wars.

I have an idea on this. The war. McCain today is not the maverick McCain of old. This is a totally different guy. There is plenty of footage to prove it.

Those in proximity to the beltway have probably much more information than the country as a whole. When we have a nominee we just have to educate them. Even Republicans don’t want the war, that is why I was so puzzled by McCain’s stance. However, as many posts her at the lake have shown he is in bed with the Bush crowd and that means being for the war.

No way to be Bush’s lackey and be against the war. Shrub would take it as a personal affront.

I’m just waiting for him to declare for Obama.
