Huh: McCain-loathing conservatives may be irrelevant
So what if we don’t vote for him. He doesn’t need us:
In a sign of just how divisive and ugly the Democratic fight has gotten, only 53% of Clinton voters say they’ll vote for Obama should he become the nominee. Nineteen percent say they’ll go for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and 13% say they won’t vote.
Sixty percent of Obama voters say they’ll go for Clinton should she win the nomination, with 20% opting for McCain, and three percent saying they won’t vote.
That from a poll of Pennsylvania Democrats.
Those numbers won’t hold up, of course. But they do suggest that, if only for reasons beyond his own control, McCain might be a stronger candidate than many have thought.
