Primary Shenanigans

Geraldine Ferraro was on NPR the other day to tell folks about the deluge of Republicans that moseyed across party lines to vote in the Democratic primary. She claimed that if they hadn't done so, Hilary's numbers would have been much higher.
Okay, Geraldine, that's great, just sayin' tho... my observations at the polls contradict your analysis. Most of the Republicans I checked in said that they were voting for Hilary because they didn't think she would be able to win against McCain. Others said that they were voting for Obama because if they had to have a Democratic president, they would rather it be he than Clinton. I think the Republican votes for Clinton and Obama probably cancelled out. If the results were skewed in anyone's favor, I would say that person was Clinton.
