The voter sign in roll was several times longer than usual for a Dem primary. And although it is an R precinct, their side seemed pretty slow considering that there is a contested R primary for Congressman in the 3rd district to replace Chip Pickering, which decides that seat pretty much unfortunately. A good sign.

1. Not good
That sounds like a lot of Republican crossovers...hope we are not seeing either a Limbaugh effect or people who just want to bring down Clinton because they hate her but won't vote for Obama in the fall. I support allowing independents to vote in Democratic primaries but I wish they would not allow registered Republicans.

Every time I run into one of these guys, they're laying in a hospital bed dieing. :(
Glad to see he's coming out to support Hillary too.
