I probably should have done some research. (none / 0)
Maybe the conservatives aren't all in one big email bank that Karl Rove sends instructions through.  If they were going to try to influence the primary, they should have done what I was suggesting they did.  Crap. That means Democrats did buy into the 3am business or simply that our Latin population swung the vote, etc. Who knows? But I sure ya'll will tell me.

Well (none / 0)
I wouldn't say Hillary won because some republicans voted for her.  But I think it's fair to point out that she may have been *helped* to some degree (not a large one, but potentially a statistically significant one) by this.

Obviously the other factors (like her fear mongering ad for example) are more important though, not doubt about that.

If Obama won the Republican vote in Texas...how is it that Republicans somehow helped Hillary?

This is hypothetical/anecdotal (none / 0)
But the margins may have been even bigger, etc.
