As a matter of fact the many life long Democrats I have spoken with will also be voting for McCain. It really is stunning how many I have spoken with that feel the dem's left them with no options.
I have no intention of voting for McCain but this is why I think it doesn’t really matter. He is hoping to garner a large amount of votes at the center with his moves leftward. Couple that with the appallingly low quality of thy Dem candidates and McCain stands a very good chance of winning the big prize
