McCain-Palin 2008
Posted on 09/17/2008 10:37:33 PM PDT by bruinbirdman
Many of Hillary Clinton's loyal supporters are still ignoring her exhortations to vote for her former rival and the Democratic candidate Barack Obama in November's presidential election.
More than 1,600 Ohioans braved sweltering heat in Akron, a former rubber boom town.
But the response to her remarks about him was relatively muted.
"I still managed to get my Hillary t-shirt in here," said Marie O'Donnell, 47. "I waved it when she spoke and she signed it for me. She's my still candidate, my go-to girl. I'm just not sure about Obama and he hasn't treated Hillary well.
"I don't want to appear racist and it's nothing personal but I just don't know who he is. He seems kind of snobbish. I work at McDonald's and they're not too bright there so a lot won't vote for him because his name sounds like Osama bin Laden.
"I want to thank you for the support you gave me in the primary," she said, the applause from the crowd of mainly of older white women rising to a crescendo. "I am very, very grateful."
"Obama scares me. There's too much we don't know about him. We don't know what we're getting. There are too many hidden issues."
Paul Barry, 50, a shipping manager, said he would not vote for Mr Obama. "I'll probably stay at home. It's all a media love fest with Obama. It's like it's 'American Idol' to choose the president. I don't like all the mystical, transcendental stuff from him.
"Anyone can be in favour of change and brotherly love. Yes, he's inspirational. So why not give him his own show after Oprah? I'm into reality. I want to know the facts about what he'll get done. We need the meat and the potatoes, not just pie in the sky."

LOL! The line of the night.:)
This will be interesting.
Wow! Did this guy nail it.
Some of the best election coverage seems to be from the UK.

That pretty much sums it up. Get enough of these voters to stay home (or even switch to McCain-Palin) in CO and NV and the election goes to the GOP ticket.

Count me as one of the woman who voted for Hillary Clinton but can’t get behind Obama.
Seems like Hillary blew a good chance to become a republican.
Maybe because they know that she doesn’t really mean it?
28 per cent of former Clinton supporters in Ohio said they would vote for Mr. McCain
28 percent of eighteen million votes is slightly over five million votes.
They can't overcome that if the PUMAs are mostly middle-aged women. He can't win without a substantial lead in that demographic, and, from what I've read, he doesn't have it.
Very interesting...........
I hate to think that there are too many people who would confuse Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden.
Then again, I remember just before Obama named Biden as his running mate, they said that congressman Chet Edwards was on the short list of running mates. But that they eliminated Chet Edwards because they would have had to spend too much time explaining that Chet Edwards was not the disgraced John Edwards.

Ha ha ha . Could it be 2 years of love love love is turning into hate hate hate ....
You can make anybody lead if you weight the polls correctly.
Well the CBS poll was of registered voters and had 10% more dems polled.
That’s about 4 or 5 percent too many.
