A Democratic "Operation Chaos"?

[scheming daemons]

Our nominee is going to be Barack Obama.


Therefore, those of us in closed-primary states can really gum up the GOP primary by re-registering as Republican before next year and voting in their primary for the candidate that we most want Barack Obama to face.

Normally, I would be dead-set against this kind of tactic. It's dishonest, it's disruptive, and it's just not right.

But our opponents openly attempted to use this tactic in 2008. Bragged about it. They wanted to throw the Democratic race into chaos that would only be decided at the last minute at the convention and leave a lot more hard feelings among the losing factions.


We have something that Democrats don't get very often... a completely uncontested primary. Hasn't really happened since 1996, and before that it hadn't happened since 1964.


Personally, in Pennsylvania next May, I'm voting for Sarah Palin if she has a chance to win the GOP nomination.

I want a landslide victory for Barack Obama in November of 2012. If he is lucky enough to run against Sarah Palin in the general election, he will get 58%-60% of the popular vote and win 40 states and 400 electoral votes.

I want the GOP to be thumped THAT badly next year. I want Sarah Palin to get a Mondale-style humiliating repudiation (not refutiation, as idiot-girl would put it) by the American people.

Her positive approvals are in the low 30s. Her negatives are in the high 50s. She's our dream opponent.

1. I re-registered to vote against Reagan in the priary you see how well that worked.

My advice is work hard for Democratic Party candidates and let the other side continue digging its own grave.

2. I created this idea the day Obama won in 2008:

I thought it was a great idea at the time. As for right now.. i'm on the fence. I despised what Limbaugh tried to do in '08.. so I don't know if sinking to the republican level is what we should do. But, at the same time.. I also would love to serve the Pubs with a taste of their own medicine.. let 'em watch Palin "campaign" for 6 months on the platform of idiocy... maybe it would wake up a few of them?

6. Palin is not running. She is going to be kingmaker and

trouble maker for any GOP candidate whome she
does not support.

Right now she is galvanizing the Republican Base
to keep them distracted so that in the election
they will fall in line and vote GOP.

For her work in assisting the GOP(they are in the
dumper) she will have a huge say in who their
candidate is. Kingmaker Palin.
