Exactly what I expected...

This was to be expected... In the states (or primaries) that allow this "cross voting" I knew that the Republicans would be out voting for Hillary. This is not because they like her, just the opposite. This is because they hate her so much they know it will bring out the "republican hate vote" in November, thus giving a boost to whoever gets the nomination for the republicans (McCain). They know Obama is probably the tougher candidate for them to battle, so they are helping their cause by any means necessary, even voting for someone they hate.

Something to think about...

For many it's too late to worry about this kinda thing, but my cousin just sent me a very interesting article from Salon. It's all about candidate branding and the world view of the U.S. With Rush saying he's voting for Clinton (truly can't trust him) along with a few other neo-cons, I can't help but think they believe she is there best chance at keeping a republican in the White House. By this I mean they know they can rally there core AGAINST her as most republicans seem to actually "HATE" her. While my personal "core" choice has been out of it for a while, i'm still thinking about Obama for this very reason.
But, as my cousin said, it's nice to think of the possibilities.
