Here is a local news report in San Francisco where John McCain held a fundraiser on March 26, 2008. The report focuses on a woman who is an Obama supporter, but says she would vote for John McCain if Obama is denied the nomination -- the Democrats' worst nightmare. A recent Gallup Poll showing 28% of Hillary Clinton voters would support McCain if Obama is nominated is also discussed. These voters who would opt for John McCain if their candidate is not nominated are now being called, "Donner Party Democrats." Below is the Wiki explanation of the "Donner Party."
The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the "westering fever" of the 1840s. After becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846–1847, some of the emigrants resorted to cannibalism.

Whats the problem? McCain is a Democrat, too.
Just more proof that three liberals are running...PEEUUUU!
The democrats will vote for McCain when the pubies wont.
How come WE don't get a candidate?
You misspelled Pee-You.
Too many conservatives say that McCain is liberal. These are his latest ratings, from some famous interest groups, according to www.vote-smart.org: Gun Owners of America, 100%; U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 100%; Club for Growth, 100%; Citizens Against Government Waste, 91%; John Birch Society, 90%; AFL-CIO, 7%; NAACP, 7%; NEA, 0%; and Planned Parenthood, 0%. I ran for convention delegate for Huckabee, but these facts prove that McCain isn’t liberal.
McCain’s conservative ratings are based on his earlier years.
If you only take the numbers since 2000, he is much lower rated by conservatives. You will NEVER convince a true conservative that McCain is a conservative by their definition. He may appear to be somewhat “conservative” when compared to the liberal socialists, however.
The Dems should be very worried about Obama's nomination. The revelations about his racist pastor and his un-American wife didn't just turn off moderates and blue-collar Dems. It turned off a lot of Dems in general.
You misspelled Pee-You.
Thank you, spell check.....
Don’t confuse them with facts. They have a hard on against McCain and would rather see one of the other two win.
McCain is sorta like fishing...on his worst day, he’s better than Hillary! or St. Obama at their very best.
Ping me when you're done compiling it, please?
I have a heart for the Donner Party.
Every time I fly over the mountains, or drive to North Lake Tahoe, I think of them, as my kids squabble over what DVD to watch in the comfort of the airplane and car.
Every night when I scrape down the disposal what my kids didn’t eat, I think of the Donner party, eating the rug in front of their fireplace (animal skin), boiling the bones of the family dog and eating that soup for a month.
How those people suffered. So stoic, true pioneers. The snowiest winter ever in the Sierras, even til this day I believe.
Too bad they were all farmers and there no mountain-men among them; I think I read Donner Lake was full of fish but they didn’t know how to access them through the ice.
So I think the “Donner Party Democrat” thing is kind of tacky.
No disrespect intended to the brave pioneers. I did not invent the term. It is used in the video, and is becoming a commonly used designation for what is happening in the Democratic party right now.
But thanks for the sobering reminder.
Yes. He thinks just the same as Hillary and Obama: “Its all about MEEEEE!”
I believe McCain was chosen as the least likely to defeat Hillary in the general (she was the annointed-one back then) by using cross-overs in the early primaries.
Surprisingly, Barack's 'change-agent' status goes well those seeking 'change you can believe in' rather than the Clinton's day-old change that'll have to be reheated.
The sign stayed up for months...
McCain to hold GOP Judicial Nominees if Democrat not appointed http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/705685/posts
*Ahem!* You were saying something about McCain being “conservative?”
It’s OK. It’s just such an amazing and heartbreaking story!
And to think that if they had arrived at the Sierras just one or two days earlier, they would have made it through the pass fine, with the first storm at their backs. It was an unusually early and harsh winter.
But I digress—back to Democrat cannabilism! I know one Obama supporter who hates Hillary and will vote for McCain if she is nominated. . .
