Tom Says: What Wayne Barrett (in the Village Voice article linked by Wolcott) shows is much more a concentration of fire on the front-runner than any outpouring of support for Obama from public wingnuts.

What I've looked at but Barrett seemingly hasn't is the excess of Republican crossover voting over 2004, which strongly suggests that the outpouring of Republican support for HRC is a phenomenon of McCain's locking up the Republican nomination.
