Obama Subverts Democratic Vote in Pennsylvania

I have long maintained that Obama is trying to subvert the will of the Democratic Party by using Indpendents and Republicans as "Democrats for a Day." Here is an excerpt from Time Magazine.

Read the article.

"Pennsylvania's April 22 closed primary — in which only registered Democrats may vote — is a problem for Obama, who has done better in states where Republicans and Independents can just show up at polls and register on-site. In an attempt to compensate, the Obama campaign for weeks has been running a quiet but massive effort in Pennsylvania to register tens of thousands of new Democrats, many of them traditional Independents and Republicans but also new voters. To the exclusion of virtually all else, his 150 campaign staffers and more than 2,000 volunteers across 25 offices have focused the power of Obama's grassroots organization on the registration effort, which ended at midnight Monday night when the state closed its books."
