I support Obama, just wanted HRC supporters over here to have a chance to enjoy their candidate.  And may the best person win!!!

What I never see here on MyDd

Looking at diaries and recommended diaries, I see nothing but hit pieces on Obama, especially how he is in some way cheating or his victories don't count. Oh, and a few fan diaries for Hillary. What I DON'T see is anything about making calls for Hillary in Ohio or Texas or folks on the ground about get out the vote activities or even anything about rallies and other campaign activities. It I didn't know better, I'd think you folks had just given up and were looking for excuses for you loss. I would much prefer to hear how you strong supporters are helping her to be victorious by means other than yet another hit diary on Obama. Show me I'm wrong and improve the atmosphere over here.

Strategic voting in VA

Thought people might be interested in this blurb from the Corner at National Review:

[My wife and I have never voted for anything left of Republican, frequently voting on the Conservative party line when available.  Yet today, we both voted for Hillary in the VA primary.  Why?  Because it seems McCain has it wrapped up, so why waste our vote on the Republican side; she is a lot less scary than Obama in many ways (better the Devil you know), and I think she is more easily beaten with her high negatives and lack of charisma.  So we were part of the high Dem turn out today which I am sure you will hear about.  And there is no way we will ever vote Dem in November.

We live in a highly conservative precinct (Eric Cantor is our Congressman).  I saw many folks today picking up the Democratic ballot also.  I think my wife and I were far from alone in our thinking.

Mostly, just thought this was interesting manifestation of strategic voting in an open primary.  Clinton and/or Obama supporters, any thoughts?
