A good friend of mine in California called and said she voted Obama.
Even though I support Clinton, it was interesting to hear her perspective. She said she will support the Democratic nominee, but voted Obama with the hope of "getting things moving". I should add that voting in the primary was her first time voting.

2. Are you finding many republicans who are
crossing over to vote for Obama?

There are many of them here. Of course, in Illinois, it is a unique situation. He is the favorite son.

I am not an Obama supporter either. But I hope to keep some of those people on our side, no matter who ends up being the nominee. I will keep talking to them.

4. Not here in Wisconsin as far as I can tell.
Of course, there is no cross-over for Hillary either. However, I do hear broad dissatisfaction with the Republicans.

5. "Getting things moving"?
And all her friends were doing it? I'm just guessing.
