The Daily Kos is crowing over how 2500 people in the (uncontested) Republican Primary cast votes for Democrats. This is utter nonsense.

In 2000, in a contested Democratic Primary, 5613 write-in votes were cast for Republicans.

In 1996 about 9000 write-in votes were cast for Republicans:

Hell, in 1992 there were 2700 votes for Republicans cast in the Democratic Primary.

In 2000, when there was a contested Republican Primary, 2200 votes were cast for Democrats.

In 1996, in a contested Republican Primary, 2000 votes were cast for President Clinton.

In short, any assertion that this is somehow a big deal is, to put it mildly, complete bullshit.
