Obama supporters are democrats and and Clinton supporters are not?
monolithic. Republicans votes for Democrats & Republicans, Independents votes for Democrats & Republicans, Democrats votes for Democrats & Republicans.
At the end of the day, it all depends on the candidates. Obama supporters have so hated the Clinton supporters that they've turned against him. You reap what you sow.
You get what you pay for.
supporters lead to the wide-spread desertion of party members. This doesn't make sense. Why would so many abandon their principles on the Court, Iraq, the economy b/c their primary candidate lost? That happens every election. Why in this one are these people operating so contrary to past primary electorates?
been defined along racial lines. Don't you get it?
That's the key difference this time round. Racial division. Right now it's only in the primary. In the fall, it will be in the general.
by race. It's not a requirement. Choose the Democratic candidate (Hillary or Barack) and we'll be fine. It's not like I don't expect to the Republicans to try to divide along racial lines. I just don't believe people are so willing to accept a candidate that will destroy this country b/c they're afraid of a black man. You can either damn this country to McCain or vote for the policies and principles of the Democratic Party.
it's the 65% of white working voters in IN & 67% of them in NC, that you have to worry about.
Are there hurt feelings? Yeah. Is it going to be more work to bring some of these people back into the fold? Yes. That doesn't mean that we assume that they're gone. It doesn't fit the pattern and thus I don't think it's going to happen. Do you know how many former McCain supporters said they would vote for McCain over Bush in 2000? Around 30%. Do you know how Republicans voted for Bush in 2000? Close to 95%. There are hurt feelings and people are going to rail, but I don't see these people are going to go with McCain when he's not offering anything.
boomers who are going to vote McCain or stay home in the fall. Why, because they have quote "no confidence in Obama as their leader" They don't think he's done anything to deserve the presidency except being popular & black and they're not going to vote for him.
Sorry. I heard of on man who's going to vote for McCain because he thinks Cindy McCain is beautiful. You guys expect rationality in presidential choices and that's just not how it's going to be.
I just expect the pattern to fit.
Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama because he's black? How insulting to them.
EXCUSE me?
I've done nothing but see Obama supporters reach out and try to bridge this gap, and what have I gotten in return here? I had a Clinton supporter suggest my daughter should be raped because it'd serve me right for supporting Obama.
You sir, take your friggin' high horse and leave. Vote for McCain for all I care. If you're so deluded you think it's OBAMA supporters who've been hating, then I want nothing to do with you; the Republicans deserve you.
