FTA: Even in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, where the April 22 primary is closed to independents and Republicans, there are signs that some Republicans are going so far as to switch their party registration by the March 24 deadline to participate in what Limbaugh has dubbed "Operation Chaos."
How low can they go? They say each presidential election is the most important EVER, yet their actions tell a different story.

As I understand it from the Obamablogs:
If a Republican crosses over to vote for Obama, s/he's a post-partisan voter, transcending politics.
If a Republican crosses over to vote for Clinton, s/he's a Limbaugh dittohead trying to sabotage the Democrats.
Sort of a "with us or against us," which I hoped we were leaving behind.

Our system is like Pa's, repubs and indies can't vote in the dem primary, but if they were to switch their party status to vote in our primary to screw with us, it wouldn't surprise me one iota!
Lowlifes! Nothing is more important than winning. They will sell their children to the devil to win in politics. The more i know, the sicker they make me.

It appears that the Dems are making a big fuss about this so that a loss in November by them will allow them to use this as an excuse.
"Our candidate lost because the Republicans voted for them in the primary to help them win the nomination then dumped them in November."
That will be the excuse.
