It looks like Clinton is pulling it out which means most of the independents are breaking for McCain.

The Republicans have the White House in 2008 if they want it. McCain is wildly popular among independents who make up a larger and larger part of the electorate.

Like it or not, nominate McCain = win the White House.

“Like it or not, nominate McCain = win the White House.”

He needs the base to win it all. You know the base, the people that he has spent the better part of the last 8 years pissing upon?

"Arrr! McQueeg be your man, matey. Thankee for the support! And I be stayin' away from the red button as a promise tuyee...the shiney, candy-like button...it calls to me...arrrr!"

Ok, now that I've gotten that out of my system:

In all seriousness, McCain has engendered far too much distrust for me to ever support him. His character was fully on display during the 2K election and his antics following that. His attacks on Christians at the time turned me off forever (not confined to the single article.) I can't support the man.

The WSJ analysis is that most independents voted Democrat.

Obama went down DESPITE independents flocking to the Democratic ticket on his side. I guess that means that Democrats overwhelmingly favor Clinton (since independents seem to have favored Obama).
