Republicans can determine Demo candidate

Here's an interesting thought. Republicans can actually decide who the Democratic nominee will be. In the following states the Democratic primary is "open" meaning anyone from any party can vote. Because the Republican convention is most likely to be OPEN, who you vote for in the Republican primary won't matter much. A 20% shift in delegates still won't sew the nomination up for any of the candidates. Therefore, to make a difference, vote in the Democratic primaries if you live in any of the following states and vote for Obama if you wish the Republicans to win the White House. He will be a much easier candidate to beat. I've listed the states in alpha sort with their delegates. If Clinton's percentage is kept below 47% she won't have enough delegates to win and the Dem convention will be open. That very process exhausts the money, weakening the Dems in the general election. It will also raise Clinton's negatives among the population as she lashes out against Obama. It will get even uglier.
