Exactly who do you think could ask democrats to do something like this that democrats would likely be paying attention to? You think democrats would more likely get the message if it was sent out on Fox News or HuffPo?
Seriously ...

How does convincing someone in Obama's pocket to vote for Ron Paul actually split the GOP vote?
Why do I always have to ask the same questions 4 or 5 times with some of you here?

The way it would work is that a bunch of democrats would cross party lines to vote in the Republican primaries only, and try to help a candidate win the primaries that the democrats know not even all the Republicans would support (let alone independents) in the general election. This would help hand the general election to obama. A sort of clever - even if desperate - tactic if the democrats were able to pull it off.

Let the democrats just register and Ron Paul win the primary .. THEN you will see wiping the floor like you never seen before .

Politics 101 lesson just for you - although you may need the remedial class if you still don't understand.

Or could the democrats be trying this tactic to split the conservative vote as a last ditch effort to keep obama from being thrown out? All signs are pointing to obama going down in 2012. So-called "progressives" will do anything to keep this from happening to their "messiah" - including taking it in the shorts one time by voting Republican for what many see as an unlikely to win fringe candidate no matter how much you may agree with Paul's policies.
This is my theory anyway, since we all know a donkey can't change its stripes ...
