For what it is worth, some of the more rowdy boys on the firearms

he'll be easier to defeat in the general. In other words, they were
talking about *not* voting in the GOP primaries, as they usually do, and
crossing over to vote for Obama.

You don't suppose Republicans are responsible for the record turnouts in
the Democratic primaries? Nah, I think Obama is bringing record numbers
into the fold. Either that, or record numbers of Americans are motivated
by the past eight years of Bush.
