We'll see what happens.
for the least they could possibly do
Unless Hillary keeps holding on, it will just anger voters and win McCain more support. Hillary supporters are just stubborn. Those numbers are just voices of protest and not will not actually happen.
Unless you agree with them, then they're post worthy. Or at least that's how it usually goes around here.
I just thought it was interesting.

Like when you get angry and say things you don't mean.. Hillary supporters are just more bitter.
Hillary and Obama are almost identical.. They'd be morons to switch to McCain over Obama if they support Hillary's views.. which they may be already.
Once a nominee is decided, the loser will endorse the winner and the rift will heal. People will get a chance to think about what they're doing. This means nothing right now.
i mean, it's fun to think about.
I'm going to disagree here. while the comparrison might be similar, the actuality of it is much different. the amount of huckabee supports was nothing compared to the supporters of hilary/obama.
I tend to agree.... right now Hilary supporters will say they won't vote for Obama, and Obama voters won't vote for Hilary, but in the end, when it comes down to actually voting, I can't see that many crossovers into republican votes.
There may be a significant number that stay home or vote for a third party, but both dem candidates have railed against the republican party for the last year, I just can't see their supports then just going to McCain out of spite.
Any poll at this point is a joke. Once the Dems get their nominee straightened out, and a couple of weeks go by to cool off (and have the loser come out in support of the winner), then poll numbers might make sense.

1. parties that make VERY vague promises that they will never fulfill
2. parties that take money from the military industrial complex
3. parties that cant even decide on a candidate and are divided.
4. parties that have had chances to do good time and time again but fail.
how long will the American voters accept ignorance and negligence from the people they put there voice behind.
its a shame people...
The reality here is that there's been nothing that has happened here that's been surprising. The Dems knew the longer this dragged out, that McCain would benefit and that's exactly what has happened. Once the dust settles though, I doubt it will make much difference. There's still a long way to go until November and I really doubt McCain has the legs.

might lose some old people too. but i don't think that matters, nor do i care, because the media is neglecting the hundreds of thousands of people who are newly registering democrat for these primaries. and now young people are involved in numbers they never were before. this younger generation is the most politically active and civic-minded generation ever. this is such an amazing time and historic election, not just because of race and gender issues, but because obama is changing the face of politics and society in the manner of who is voting now. not only are these young people active, they're voting; and they're voting for obama.
suck it, olds.
cross the river to the eastside
More media hype about nothing of any value. It's a hypothetical that will never happen. There is no point in even having this poll at this time.
doesn't that mean that the other 72% would prolly vote for obama?

~ed, 8/7
yea, 72% of the 50% of americans who are democrats.
I think the 28% pretty much balances out the 1/2 of the far right who wouldn't vote for a "liberal senator" like John McCain

they seem to be rallying around him now. its only the far right nutjobs like ann c.
So you are assuming that the Republicans can rally around someone totally against most of their beliefs, but Democrats can't rally around someone who shares virtually the same ideals as the other candidate?

you may very well be right. there are some on the right that will not vote for "liberal mccain". but that number is no where near as close to what it's like on the left. IMO.
reaching for straws i see...
you guys need to take a rest on the whole anti-obama thing...
support your candidate, but the whole bash obama at all costs thing is getting pretty tired
by the way...
whats that say about hillary backers?
you tried to make it out as a negative for obama... i see it as a negtive for hillary...
I don't know ... because in THIS ELECTION the Republican candidate is practically a Democrat?
While you guys are busy calling him "McBush" -- ha ha! -- McCain is probably the most palatable candidate, to independents and moderate Democrats, that the Repubs have ever won.
If I backed Hillary, and Obama won, I would definitely give a look at McCain at least. I can see why people would do that.
for the least they could possibly do
But that gets in the way of them pushing their 'fear' vote agenda. We can't have that. They need to make it seem that every republican is GW and we must all shiver and tremble at the thought of them.
