Of course they wouldn't care about the other Democratic candidates on the ballot, they just want to sabotage Clinton and set Obama up as the more easily-beatable candidate.

You might want to check Dennis Kucinich's site - I know they did some close review of that district's numbers over the "Dems for a Day" campaign (in the neighborhood of 10,000 in DK's district - from affluent areas) The DK issue probably skews the numbers, but I imagine they did analyses of other OH districts for comparison. I got polled on the way out (west central Oh), but no idea who was polling. they mentioned electronic voting verification, but who knows? ps - off topic, but as a committed lurker, I don't often contribute... THANK YOU for being an island of sanity re the primary run and bias. I know I heard similar trends reported regarding the OH primaries.

It seems logical that first-time, or cross-over, or low-info voters would blow off the down-ticket since they wouldn't know or care who else is running. I’ve read this before.
