Ohio GOP Roots For Hillary

Cincinnati Enquirer:

One of the worst-kept secrets of the Ohio presidential primary is that Republican Party leaders have a candidate they are rooting for on the Democratic side.

Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton; and they believe that if she wins the Ohio primary and goes on to become the Democratic nominee, she will be the one who unites their dispirited and divided party and gives them their best chance of keeping the White House this fall.

Just more slant from the Obama Post. If one was to look at previous voting it is evident the Independents and Republicans are voting overwhelming for Obama while Hillary is getting true Democrats except for the black voters.

[Henry2008]

Exactly...­.Hillary is getting the vast majority of DEmocratic votes while Obama is getting the Republican.

The Republicans are doing to Democrats what Daily KOs suggested DEms do to Republicans in Michigan. Throw the elction to Romney.

Now they are throwing the election to Obama.

[BrooklynLager]

Saying it over and over again doesn't make it any more true.

[HLMerkin]

Most people who post at DailyKos support Obama.
DailyKos ia better indication of this party's base and future than HuffPo.

Hillary is getting the senior citizen vote.
And Senior Citizens VOTE all the time!
And as our baby boomers..I­'m one but I'm not really a senior citizen yet...are still a huge block of voters!

...lol, wrong assumption that Obama getting BUT "black vote"....a­nd uh, Hillary NOT getting ALL white females either !!!
More are truly TIRED of the folks claiming years of experience and when the records are reviewed, its like HUH ? WIth all their years they have ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED WHAT ?>>>THAT IS HILLARY's REALITY CHECK PROBLEM !!!! She and Bill have BEEN "there" but they FAILED TO ACCOMPLISH what she claims she experienced enough to do so now...as well as some other really BAD decisions/votes/etc along the way that are HAUNTABLE for GOOD REASON and why folks wary/leery of !!!
MANY DO NOT WANT THE DYNAMIC DUO HOLDING THE REIGNS...t­hat may shock some, who kinda are willing to go along let Hillary make a historical mark as first Fem CIC cuz they kinda did like some of the wonking by Bill or at least some of what DID work well during their previous time spent in the WH...they figure Bill would SHADOW PRESIDENT and perhaps prevent some "stuff" for is considered savvy in many ways politically and elsewise.
HOWEVER, just as MANY IF NOT MORE DO NOT WANT SUCH TO BECOME OUR REIN HOLDERS as we've already had more than enough done by those who are NOT HELD fullscore ACCOUNTABLE and hide behind curtains/doors/etc to escape accountability !!!

[SevenLevels]

HAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA­HA!
For MONTHS all the Clinton fans on here have been insisting that the Republicans *really* want Obama to win because he's the easier target. So much for that theory!
Peace,

The Republicans know they can't beat Obama - now if the Democrats would just be as smart.

[ShadesofGray]

Only refublicans would root for an outcome that seeks to keep this country divided.

Heck of a job, dickies.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

is Ohio an open primary? Are the GOP going to put their actions where their mouths are and cross over to the dem primary to vote for Clinton?

I've been saying all along that if the Repugs really are sure they want to sun against Hillary, why didn't they come out in mass in VA and vote for her? Or in any state with open primaries?

[Henry2008]

Exactly. But they came out to vote for Obama.

[December7]

Really???

[rollingdivision]

Political personality cults are extremely dangerous. So maybe Ohioans believe Clinton is somewhat less dangerous for the country. Clinton's support is based on a fading personality cult; Obama's is based on a growing cult.

[Wanod]

B.S. that's all...Repu­bs in Ohio won't ever vote for Hillar, Obama yes.
