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.
DC is 60% black. Blacks vote 9 to 1 for Democrats. In the Democratic primary, they are voting 9 to 1 for Obama. The nation is only 12% black.

I agree absolutely that those who turnout to vote will vote straight ticket. But they key is turout. A prolonged fight only to have your candidate lose will not be good for dem turount. Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot and it was between Romney and McCain and McCain won in the last stages of the primaries. Would you be as motivated to vote on election day?
