If McCain gets only 15% of Hillary voters that will be huge.
But I agree it should be about half which will make for a McCain landslide. I think she sealed that deal last night very masterfully with her wink-wink support of THE CHOSEN ONE.
Both are saying their e-mail boxes are full of mail from women who are "extremely proud of Hillary" after her performance tonite....and are going to vote for McCain because of the dem betrayal.
Sweet!

They are most of them, in fact the largest part of them, going to vote for Obama. Maybe holding their noses, but they will fall back in line, to be sure. Very few will actually end up voting for McCain despite all the moaning and whining now.
We should not fool ourselves into imagining otherwise
When push comes to shove, the Democrats always revert to the pack. I don't care how pi$$ed off they are, there is no way they will vote for a Republican; not even as flimsy a one as McCain.
CNN had an interview with a Hillary supporter after her speech. The woman was in tears, exclaming that "The speech Hillary gave was Presidential", and that her friends would have to persuade her to vote, and that Obama's experience was lacking. I think Hillary's speech only helped to remind a lot of Democrats that they are nominating the wrong person. I may disagree with most of her ideas, and she did use Obama's name as almost an afterthought through most of her speech (I am for health care and so is Obama, etc), but I thought her speech was a good one. There was none of the shrill Hillary present in that speech. Unfortunately, if her speech had been lackluster, Obama supporters would have accused her of being lukewarm about her support. Since she made a good speech, it only served to show who the best nominee should have been. Once again, the Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Whew.
are running away from the Obamalinni. My wife of 30 years has NEVER voted for a Republican and even she can't find a clothes pin strong enough to hold her nose that would allow her to vote for this facist obamanation. Even a swing of just a few percent in critical states like Ohio and Virginia will tell the tale and it dosen't look good for the anointed one.

but there are those ie my mom who is in her 80's and still sharp. I am working on her, but her comment is something to the effect "well, their are those who won't for him because he is black..." Of course my comment was all the blacks who will vote for him simple because of color and more, of course.
My mom does not follow elections closely and ALWAYS votes for dims.
Obami is posting guards outside the delegates rooms so Hillary's delegates can't get to them. There is a real brouhaha going on, there has to be a roll call now. This may get interesting. I hope they fight till the last minute and split the party asunder.
Remember, these are Democrats. By definition, the 50% that say they are voting for Hillary are stupid, therefore they will vote for her; and the other 50% are stupid liars, therefore they will vote for her, too.
Never underestimate the depth of "rage." Will there be enough voters to "punish" the Democrat Party's choice of nominee (let alone the way Clinton was treated during the campaign)? I believe the answer is HECK YES!!!
Hillary supporters felt they got burned -and rightfully so- and just the mere thought of watching Hillary give a speech for Obama must have really rubbed Hillary supporters raw. For them it was like watching her give a supportive speech with a gun to the back of her head.
HIllary supporters will remember this day and they will make sure Obama will never forget it either.
"9 out of 10 doctors agree that flag burning is the number one killer of liberals."
99%. They may be sore losers and cry babies now, but these "ardent" Hillary! supporters ain't about to let that pro-life Republican get elected. The Romney supporters among us would do well to counter this.
to the proceedings. The MSM and the D's have sliced and diced and pigeon-holed every demographic there is and tried too hard to simplify this whole process (i.e. -- Obama has a slight lead amongst african american bisexuals missing two toes on their left foot that stutter and are incontinent").
The real deal is this, the Hillary block of voters are blind D's that will vote D no matter what - they could exhume Hitler and put him on the ticket and those douches would still vote D. The mock outrage exhibited by those morons will be quelled and on Saturday morning you will hear kumbaya being sung from the highest mountaintop in Denver by the MSM.
But don't be alarmed because what is really helping McCain and the Republicans keep in and on top of this thing is Obama opening his mouth and spewing his "ideas" (???!?!?!!?!?) or vacuous mantras. The addition of Biden the plagiarist does not help matters for him.
Remember, the change we hold near and the change we hold dear will not even leave us enough change for a beer.

August 26, 2008 - 23:45 ET by Dee BunkDems are extremely loyal to the party. They re-elect crooks and liars all the time as we know all to well here in IL.
I think if McCain picks a woman he could tap into some of those votes but it won't be huge.
