Did Democrats sabotage today's Iowa GOP caucuses?

They could have inflated, had they wished to, Ron Paul's votes today.

Iowa law allows non-Republican 'crossdressers' to participate in caucuses if they register as a Republican on location.

Mother Jones magazine reported in an article titled “Ron Paul’s wildcard: Iowa progressives?” that “Paul’s crossover appeal to liberals attracted to his anti-war platform” might skew GOP caucuses.
The Mother Jones report cited one Iowa Democrat, Francis Thicke, saying that he “would caucus for Paul on Tuesday ‘to keep [Paul's] voice for peace and his voice to reduce the military in the debate, because he will challenge the other Republican candidates.’”
     “This is a tactical thing,” Thicke told Mother Jones.
Early reports show Santorum, Paul and Romney neck-and-neck, with Ron Paul getting an amazing 58% of the support of all caucus voters under 30.
