2. A lot of those were crossover voters
It's not as if the state has that many Democrats.

7. I'm not saying there aren't Democratic voters in Virginia
Obviously, there are. I'm simply saying that a number of people who voted in the Democratic primary in Virginia today weren't Democrats, that's all.

11. That doesn't make sense, isn't the number taken from the # of
of registered dems and republicans who voted, not who they voted for?

5. Rachel Maddow calls turnout the "sleeper issue" of the campaign
Turnout is what saved us from Rove's numbers in '06. :headbang:rocknation

9. Think, people, think! What does this really mean?
Most of those crossover voters were voting AGAINST Hillary...not FOR Obama. People are not reading the tea leaves correctly IMHO. I would hope that the Dems would change to all CLOSED primaries and stop letting others choose our candidates for us.

13. What proof do you have of this? If they want to vote against her, why not vote McCain or Huck?

10. I wouldn't read too much into it
The numbers go down during primaries when the presumptive nominee emerges.

12. But this bodes very well for the general election. We're seeing this 2:1 at least in EVERY state!
