Indie Appeal

Obama's totally indie, moreso than McCain, or even Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. An interesting item of note from the Virginia primary on Tuesday:

Virginia Democratic primary voters who did not identify themselves as Democrats were more likely to back Barack Obama, according to exit polls...One out of every five Democratic primary voters were independent — and those voters chose Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, 67 to 32 percent. Seven percent of the voters in that contest were Republican voters who decided not to vote in their own party’s primary – they chose Obama by an even larger margin, 71 to 25 percent over Clinton. Self-identified Democrats also chose Obama, 59 to 20 percent.

Interestingly, the independents that voted Republican voted for Huckabee, not McCain.
