Strategic Thinking March 13 2008
Pennsylvania-based blogger “Bulldog Pundit” has changed his registration from Republican to Democrat so he can vote for Hillary.
He has a lot of reasons. One I hadn’t heard before is this:
[S]ay what you will about Obama but he has just doesn’t have supporters – he has followers that thing he is the second coming. He’s leading a movement. He’s also got a lot of new people, especially young ones, involved in politics, and perhaps for the first time the youth vote might actually show up to help him.
But if Hillary beats the young messiah,
[T]he first political memory many of these people will have is that the Democrat party screwed them, and unlike Elliot Spitzer, didn’t even pay them for the privilege. That’s a wound that won’t heal soon, if at all. Of course, like many young people do, they will grow up, see what the real world is like, realize the folly of their ways, and become Republicans. But they will always have a visceral reaction to the Democrats. That’s good for the GOP in the long run.
Nice thinking. Read the whole thing here.
