While one must be registered as a Democrat to be able to vote in the party's primary, we must be mindful of something that happened two years ago. Rush Limpballs started his "Operation Chaos" to get GOP'ers to re-register as Democratic voters in enough time to vote, so they could vote for Hillary, thus dragging out the nomination fight.

Since one did not have to register back as a Republicon for the general election, I'd be willing to bet that large numbers of them have still kept their Democratic registration. When you figure how quickly Specter changed over from Repuke to DINO, they must surely have realized that keeping the faux registration would give them an opportunity to get even with him the very next year.

The only question is, do they take it out on Specter now, by dumping him in the primary, or do they vote for him, setting him up as the weaker candidate against the Rethug nominee this fall? Surely, there are some who like Specter, no matter what, for bringing home the bacon year after year, and would vote for him over Sestak so that they get a Repuke no matter who wins in the fall.
