Hmm. The gist of the argument appears to be that
(a) Republicans started voting in the Democratic primaries in much larger numbers after McCain secured the R nomination
(b) Rush Limbaugh has exhorted his audience to support Clinton (as a weaker opponent to McCain)
(c) exit polls suggest that Republicans voting for Clinton actually don't like her.
Now, I'd like to see stats on how much Republicans that voted for Clinton liked _Obama_...but this does seem to add up to shenanigans.
I feel as though this is all technically within the rules, but it does rather leave a bad taste in one's mouth.
Not sure how to fix this in a way that doesn't induce more problems, though. (Disallowing people from switching parties between the primary and the general election might be an interesting dodge, but there's a can of worms there, too.)
