The Dem dilemma in the 2012 primaries - is Sarah the new Sanjaya?

[Brittain33]

Face the facts, you guys nominated your weakest candidate.  You guys should have won by around 11-13 points in the environment and won a lot more states than Obama did.  There are barely any Obama voters in 2008 who also wouldn't have voted for Clinton whereas the opposite wasn't true.

Even if you're right, and you aren't, what difference would it have made? Obama romped in the Electoral College, the Senate, and the House to the largest Dem majorities we've seen in ages. What is there to regret?

That's embarrassing.  I just hope she becomes too cozy with her Fox deal; American deserves the best of both parties.

Dems: How would you like it if all of us Republicans voted for Alvin Greene in the Dem primary? What if, for the sake of the example, Alvin Greene won the Dem primary as a result?

Voting for a weaker opponent in your opposing party's primary is, as TrueCon stated, unethical and unfair.

It doesn't work if you choose someone who isn't a viable candidate already. I don't care if you vote for Alvin Greene in 2012; no more than a tiny minority of people will do so. Sarah Palin is a viable candidate with a very dedicated pack of supporters who are not a majority of Republican primary voters, but could be a plurality.

I didn't make this idea up. "Dems" certainly didn't, although it's not a Republican thing. Rush Limbaugh bragged of Operation Chaos in 2008. Before that, there was Geoff Fieger in Michigan, followed up by Dems voting for McCain in the Michigan Republican Primary in 2000. If the opportunity presents itself, people will try.

What he said. Ill addShe has at least one vote here in the California republican primary...lol.
