President Barack Obama is relishing that Texas Congressman Ron Paul may win the Iowa caucuses, so heâs utilizing his $1 billion re-election campaign team to encourage Democrats to vote for Ron Paul during the Republican presidential nominee process.
According to the Los Angeles Times, âIowaâs GOP caucuses may see some Democratic defectors. Voters who helped elect Obama in 2008 are planning to cast Republican ballots Tuesday, and Rep. Ron Paul is perhaps the most likely to benefit from the crossovers.â
Apparently caucus rules limit participation to registered party members. Yet anyone who appears at the Republican caucus, which includes Democrats, independents and libertarians could join the GOP or switch their party affiliation immediately.
David Fischer, co-chairman of Paulâs Iowa organization, informed voters on Thursday at a campaign stop in Atlantic that, âitâs easy. You can register on your way in the door.â
As reported by the LA Times, âJohn Long, a registered Democrat, said that âlast time, unfortunately, I believed a lot of the rhetoricâ and voted for Obama, after going to a Democratic caucus as a Joe Biden supporter.â
