The Conservatives here are talking about voting for Hillary
in the Wisconsin Primary now that Mittens has dropped out.

They figure she's the weaker candidate. Heard today on a local Conservative radio program.

2. The same with the DEMS in 92
they were going to sacrifice Clinton to the unbeatable bush and get rid of the hick from Arkansas once and for all.

14. He was among the few willing to challenge a prez with approval in the 90s.
Hart was useless.
Rockefeller ran scared.

3. That really surprises me
since Obama is by far the more conserative candidate. MoveOn's endorsement notwithstanding; they just went by what their misinformed members told them.

4. Even conservatives have figured out who the weaker candidate is!!!

Hopefully, high profile democrats would jump in and endorce obama... to prevent wingnuts from deciding who they should run against.

8. the weaker candidate is mccain and they all know it.
he is going to get wiped out in a landslide by whoever the democratic candidate is.
mccain is old, confused and carrying a billion pounds of baggage. the fundies dont like him and the neocons dont like him.

12. No, they caucused for him because they liked him and wanted him to win and become President.
They are now talking about voting for her because if she is the nominee then the Republicans have a good chance of winning the General Election. It is different.

10. BULLSHIT-conservatives don't get off their asses to DO anything

Don't buy that crap. You don't see them protest because they will not go out and do such things. Rev.Moon paid for and coordinated pro-Nixon rallies and that was a huge undertaking. They simply do not march.


The always make it to vote (we are told) but nothing else.

18. One or two of them that called in did say that lightning would strike them
if they tried. One of them seemed to be willing to take that risk.

They've nothing to gain now for voting Republican.
