You are wrong kos – and here’s why:

My initial response was a total gut reaction – instinctively and instantly, I disagreed with you. So then I read your follow up diary and quite a few of the “rebuttals” on the rec list trying to figure out why exactly I disagreed with you.

Let me say up front that I agree with most of what you said about Operation Hilarity in your follow up post (and I don’t care if I get HRd to oblivion for saying so). From a tactical campaign standpoint, I think you are both politically and strategically, 100% correct; politics ain’t beanbag and everything available in the strategic arsenal should be considered. I agree with you completely that open primaries are fair game. It’s perfectly legal and I wholeheartedly support anyone voting however they choose and for whatever reason they want.

In fact, I agree with pretty much everything about Operation Hilarity except for… well, except for Operation Hilarity coming from you and Daily Kos. This “is a site for fighting Democrats” but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for you (or any front-pager) to advocate, organize and fundraise for an effort enlisting Democrats to influence a Republican primary on Daily Kos. If you’re strategizing in an on-the-ground capacity in particular, campaign tactics like these, albeit generally executed more discreetly, are tried-and-true, old-hat, the most fundamental of basics. Likewise, campaigns to promote cross-party voting online via blogs, social media, etc., again – are a-okay given the right conditions, audience and desired demographics.

And yes -- Nurse Kelley really did say it, I promise, she's just unable to post a diary right this moment so she's letting me borrow her headline for an important cause. :-) So you all know what to do then right?? Nurse Kelley Sez Please Rec This Diary.

Please go read tip, rec and leave a comment in jimreyn's diary. But before you do, please rec this diary so we can get it seen by more people who may be able to do a little to help them out financially or just by offering a few words of encouragment and support.

So many are struggling right now - and if you are unable to contribute financially that is perfectly okay! But please leave a comment and give some moral support to let jimreyn and his wife know how much we care and that we're thinking about them

Sorry to repeat here, however, I sure would appreciate it if you would also take a moment to tip, rec and comment in jimreyn's diary. Thanks everyone!!!!
