Republicans voting for Edwards and Dean in WI?

[Monument]

Kerry had the Dem/liberal vote by a solid margin. The republicans were voting for Edwards and/or Dean. What does this mean?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

1. Repugs fear Kerry the most and they should.

Kerry will get the veterans vote and give Bush a run for the
Military vote. Also, Kerry has great credibility on foreign policy
too!

[mohc]

2. One of two things

1. sabotage

2. Edwards/Dean could carry the independents and crossover Republicans that will actually win the GE.

3. It means Kerry's the most liberal candidate left

and Kucinich's meager showing gives me concern for the viability of Kerry as a liberal. Edwards has proven himself to be a formidable centrist/moderate candidate.

4. well as i have been saying;NAFTA repubs lose jobs too

for edwards anyways

5. Problem with your thesis, only 10% of the voters were Repubs

[Jacobin]

6. Maybe they want balanced budgets and no stupid wars

Geeze, what's up with them???????

I can't understand it.

/sarcasm

Seriously though, we must run off any republicans or independents who might want to vote for our nominee. Really,

7. It's all fine if they actually intend on voting for them in the fall.

but if not.....

8. I know a few republicans who would be glad to be rid of Smirk

but wouldn't vote for Kerry.

Who knows the motivation of the voters described in this thread. All I'm saying is that its silly to assume that all republicans like and will vote for Smirk.

10. same here.

I know plenty of moderate people (who don't affilliate themselves w/ a political party) who would vote for Edwards over Bush, but do not necessarily know about Kerry. That probably has something to do with the fact that I live in TX which is more moderate.
