McCain, who appeals largely to independents, was hoping to benefit from that turnout. But with Hillary Clinton as the only frontrunner on the Democratic ballot, Democrats were being urged from some quarters to cross over and vote for his main rival.
The former Massachusetts governor had so far won only the lightly-regarded Wyoming primary and some pundits suggest that if he didn't win Michigan -- where he has sunk millions of dollars into advertising -- that his campaign could be on the ropes.
In a January 10 post titled "Let's Have Some Fun in Michigan," Markos Moulitsas wrote on his popular liberal site, The Daily Kos, that Michigan Democrats should help Romney.
"We want Romney in, because the more Republican candidates we have fighting it out, trashing each other with negative ads and spending tons of money, the better it is for us," he said. "We want Mitt to stay in the race, and to do that, we need him to win in Michigan." CNN
"With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don’t we try and return the favor. Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win." OUTSIDETHEBELTWAY.COM

...So excuse me for not feeling bad about the crossing over strategy! Ethics? Yes, it's ethical! Let me tell you something..whoever becomes the president will be the president of ALL THE UNITED STATES, EVERYONE. So any strategy that is employed when choosing the nominee is fair when choosing our president. The cross over strategy is legal and ethical and done by both sides. Of course, only Republicans "corrupt the democratic process". Whaaaaaaaa. They just don't like it when we use the same rules they use! And any of you who "don't want to stoop to their level", get over it! The future of our country is at stake!
