Republicans in Texas and Ohio who are considering crossing over to vote in the Democrat primary to vote for Obama–that’s NOT the play! A vote for Obama does a couple of things that aren’t good for Republicans. First, it ends the Democrat primary. Obama wins. Game over. No more in-fighting amongst Democrats, their guns will be pointed toward John McCain. From the Republican point of view, keeping these two fighting with each other (and not with McCain) for as long as possible. Second, GOP votes for Obama play into the narrative he is trying to establish that portrays him as “able to bring the country together”–part of the evidence of which Obama cites are the Republican votes he’s received.

The real play for Texas and Ohio Republicans is to vote for Hillary Clinton. Putting aside the fact that I never imagined recommending voting for any Clinton under any circumstance, any more than, I’m sure, any of you ever imagined voting for them. However, if they can hold their noses and punch the hole out for Sen. Clinton next Tuesday, they will actually be making the most effective contribution to their cause.

GO HILLARY! lol
