A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in a general election test against Obama.

Meanwhile, Rush and some Freepers are trying to keep her IN the race because they think Obama is harder to beat.

Brilliant, guys.

Fox had a bunch of Democrats in a room the other day. They asked the question and it seemed about 25% said they would consider McCain.

I sure wish we had someone like Mitt. I think he would eat Hillary and Obama for breakfast.

I don’t think Rush has been pushing for Hillary because she’s easier to beat than Obama. I believe he’s stated that he wants Hillary as a factor in the Democratic convention so that the Democratic party is split.
I agree with this notion (even if I’m incorrect about what Rush has expressed). The longer she and Obama battle it out the more funds they expend and hopefully the more spiteful their supporters get towards each other.

Note ths spin in this story. Hillary! supporters that will switch parties are said to be in favor of McCain, and NOT portrayed as refusing to vote for a Black to be President.

Nope, no bias here....

I posted last night. In Frank Luntz’ focus group - Hillary’s supporters, about one quarter, did say on camera they would consider voting for McCain due to his SERVICE to the Country and EXPERIENCE - two values that Hildabeast has been trumpeting.

Hillary’s man-haters will say or do anything to win. They’ll do the same against McCain, too.

Rush’s “theory” is a hypothetical. He’s not looking at the obvious. Dims want this election and will vote straight ticket no matter which of the two remains. To understand how Dims vote look no further than the re-election of Marion Berry. When your party willingly votes for a convicted crack head you pretty much get a clear picture as to where your party head is at. They are sitting on it!! No one is going to be handing the Republicans a free vote. Not even pissed off Clintonites if she doesn’t get the nom.

Oh, the sad state of the Republican party. "The horror! The horror!"

What’s sad is that this group can be considered the “moderate democrat” vote. It’s insane, when Hillary’s opponent makes her a moderate by comparison. Still, I’ll take any help beating Obama we can get.
