Political turncoats

[Democrats unite]

In 1980 we had what was called Regean Democrats. In 2004 what are the chances of having (insert name here)___________ republicans?

I can see some moderate republicans voting Democratic but for which candidate?

[rucky]

1. Dean & Clark. That is all.

It's neither good nor bad. they're just outsiders, that's all.

[oxymoron]

3. so a lifelong dem and liberal is now...

just an outsider?

[alcuno]

8. Dean's not a lifelong dem. Doesn't sound like Clark is either.

Dean was raised in a Republican household and turned Democrat in his mid-20's. Clark's probably been a Democrat for a month and a half.

9. Beltway

he's seen as an outsider.

2. Although

there's a snowball's chance in hell of him getting the nod... Edwards could pull in some disgruntled southern republican voters...

[Prodemsouth]

4. Clark and Dean could too.

5. I think I am being misunderstood here.

I am not looking for infighting with our candidates, I was just curious if you think we will see some republicans voting for who ever our nominee is.

6. None that would ever admit it publicly.

A few might but I doubt they would dare piss off their leadership by openly admitting it.

7. They won't admit it publicly

but they might vote democrat. Remember, to be a good republican means you have to be a sheep and baaaaaaa with the rest of the flock.

10. Go after Republican women; they're most likely to switch.

As long as the married ones don't have to tell their husbands.
