And no, it doesn't presuppose that all Hillary supporters are pro-choice, passionately or otherwise. It presupposes that there are more McCain/undecided women who will switch to support a pro-choice ticket, than there are Obama/undecided supporters who will switch to the GOP ticket to support a woman.
At least I think that's right.
That's what I thought, too. Until I realized they're actually writing checks to McCain and the numbers of defectors are going up instead of down. If these crossovers were supporting McCain out of short-term spite, you'd expect their numbers to be declining.

In Novemeber, it is all partisan, my friend. Ultimately, you are going to punch the chad for your own party.
Although it seems that there are several male dems that may want to punch a hole in Palin's chad.
