Looking back at the 2008 New Hampshire primary exit polls

Republican exit polls:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/epolls/index.html#val=NHREP

Looking at both sets of numbers, the breakdown of registered parties:
38.5% independent
29.3% democrat
26.7% republican

40% of democratic independents voted for Obama
43% of democrats voted for Clinton

Clinton led 41% for those who want troops out of Iraq ASAP
Clinton led 44% for most important issue being the economy

Does that mean we should try targeting Democrats that voted for Clinton in 2008? (She won the NH primary.) But the problem here is registered Democrats can't vote in a Republican primary -- only Republicans, Independents, unregistered-party.

We need to target the anti-war McCain voters, without telling them how stupid they were.

Can't they still reregister Republican at this point?

The votes were stolen and destroyed. NH primary was election fraud.I don't trust the exit polls and the demographics prior to the NH primary were so different from the outcome. McCain should have never had that amount of votes ratio wise to the other candidates.
