Reply #5: That's the thing... [View All]

I don't believe there's anything else major on the ballot in WI's primary. (Is the Milwaukee mayoral election that day? I live in the suburbs.) The Congressional primaries aren't until September. There aren't any major ballot initiatives I'm aware of. So people would have to actually get up and go vote just for this one thing.

There's always a little cross-party voting -- I might have voted for McCain over W, if Gore-Bradley had been settled by then. (Turns out both were -- we had a later primary in past years.) (Oh, and not to infiltrate -- McCain just scared me less.) I don't think it's statistically significant, though.

For the record -- The Kucinich organization is damn strong here. It wouldn't surprise me if he did better here than in most other states on his own merits. So I'm sure not all of the callers are freepers, but, yes -- the WI for Kucinich people I've talked to all can pronounce (and spell) his name.
