This is an open letter to that 30% of Hillary's supporters who are threatening to vote for McCain ONLY because Hillary didn't get the nomination ( Read more... )

This story doesn't pass the smell test. I don't think that the majority Clinton's supporters are seriously suggesting they'll vote for McCain over Obama. As Clinton herself has implored her supporters to do, I think most Dems will vote for Obama in this election cycle.

I don't think it's a majority, but I've heard as high as 30%, which is.. I just don't understand it.

Not saying there aren't some crazies out there, but I just don't believe it. I have yet to encounter an ardent Hillary supporter outside of the upper echelons of Hillary's Camp who has said such a thing. This story just strikes me as manufactured media drama.

Ha. Yeah, not saying it couldnt' be true, and not to discount your righteous anger if it is true, but where are these Clinton voters who are switching over to McCain? In all these stories about them... where are they? Who? I mean, if it's a bunch of old white women who are being racist, that's a story, but why don't they get airplay in these stories? Leads me to believe this angle is being pushed without any basis just to have a "conflict" at the convention.

As if Barack Obama, our first substantial black nominee for President, isn't a story enough... *Sigh*

The scary thing is that I have a woman I work with who is on the edge about who she's going to vote for since it's not Hillary.. That's the thing that I think sets this off for me, is that I do know of one who really feels that way.

And yeah, with you on the *sigh*.

bleah. stupid politics.
