Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Large numbers of Republicans and independents in Pennsylvania have changed their party affiliation and registered as Democrats.
  • Obviously. Its' been going on all over.

    Espeically now that the Republicans have nothing else to do.

    But it should NOT be confused with persons who plan to vote for Obama in November. Not at all. The religious rightwing and other radical groups have been organizing an effort to re-register Republicans to ensure he's the nominee for 2 years.

    The Wright debacle has only fueled it.

    This, and given that Obama has been unable to win ANY big electorate states that any Democrat will need ranging from New York and Mass to California and Florida, proves he has no chance as a nominee. (what any objective person can admit to themselves, not to be confused with Obama's unhinged supporters).

    However to me the most telling thing is that Obama continues to forge on with his scorched-earth campainging KNOWING he has not a shot in Hell at defeating McCain. It's very telling of his commitment to the things Democrats and the middle-class want and need desperately. However it is NOT any surprise to those of us familiar with his track record in Illinois.
