No, the second case is unprincipled clear-eyed rejection. They know exactly who he is and that he would decimate Bush/Cheney; therefore, he must be stopped via "Case 1": by having the media constantly harp on his not being born a Democrat.

Let's all remember, 59% of the population voted for Reagan in 1984. We're not going to win a lot of elections with 41% of the vote -- our maximum if we reject all those who voted Republican in the past.

1980 - 50.9%
1984 - 58.8%
