That is because they are Republicans to begin with- part of Rush and Hannity's "Operation Disrupt" campaign to get GOP voters to register as Democrats and try and cause trouble in the Democratic primaries left.

I would be curious to here those numbers for Texas and Ohio. 214,000 Republicans voted for her there.

Exactly my point. Supporting the weaker candidate Hillary. Republicans are using Hillary to increase their chances. Incredible. As long as Hillary is in, she will continue to hurt the Dem party in many ways like this. She must stand down or get the boot, no question.

My sister works in a large library in PA and on Wed after the elections, they ran out of voter registration cards. Although they do not have to change their party affiliation, they are making the Rush Chaos statement by changing back to Republican before the election. There was a group in the library asking for them and she was talking to them, and they said they had great fun lying to pollsters, etc. So although it is legal, I do hope the superdelegates are paying attention to the situation.

So take that 6% and subtract if from the 10% and you get the more likely finish in PA. The SD's are aware of this I am sure. Out of the next 2 primaries which ones are opened?

In North Carolina, unaffiliated voters are permitted to vote in the Democratic primary.

With Indies, Obama is up 10+ ??

Well the other problem in PA is that it is a closed primary and many indies will not switch. But I would think it is probably not so much as 6 percent in the shenanigans, but there were some. He would have lost either way, just that the superdelegates and party leaders have to be realistic.

I did NOT hear this. (Where did it come from?) And if this is true, it must REALLY let that air out of the Hillary "momentum". I don't mean that as being mean or anything...it just shows that some of the votes for Hillary were not really because they liked her.
