Senator Obama repeatedly claims that he garners the support of both independents and republicans. When he says this he is telling the truth. Exit polls in the majority of contests held thus far show that Obama outperforms Clinton among independents. This becomes crucial coming into the general election environment, particularly when the Republican challenger is John McCain.
I like this quote from an article in an Omaha Nebraska newspaper:
"Several said they were Republicans who had come to see what all the excitement was about. Some Republicans said they supported Obama because they believed he would bring change.
'He's inspiring. He's a leader. And he's positive,' said Sterling Schultz, a Republican farmer from Naper, Neb., who said he planned to fill out the paperwork necessary to caucus Saturday as a Democrat."
Welcome to the big tent fold Mr. Schultz!
