McCainocrats

[BarbaraGordon]

You've heard of Obamacans? Well there's a new kid in town. Apparently so many Hillary voters are pissed off at Obama's tactics that they're now swearing not to support him in the general election.

Here are the numbers from a new Pew poll:
Overall, 8% of Republicans claim they'll support Obama, versus 14% of Democrats supporting McCain.

Ten percent of current Democratic Obama supporters say they would NOT support Clinton over McCain if she gets the nomination. But an even higher percentage - 25% - of Hillary's Democratic supporters say they would abandon Obama for McCain if Obama were the nominee.

It seems like the longer this thing between Obama and Hillary drags out, the more animosity is building between their supporters. The Democrats might want to consider paying Hillary to withdraw tomorrow, just to prevent things from going any further downhill.

I've said before that Obama needs to forsake his wussified image on national affairs or there will be major democratic defections. There are a lot of hawks in the democratic party. McCain is almost the perfect antidote to Obama the peacenick newager.

He can't do what you suggest ... he will only alientate his base. He has painted himself the peacenick newager and that is what he will stay throughout the election.

There may be hawks in the Dem party, but they aren't of the variety that want to stay in Iraq for 100 years, expel Russia from the G-8 or sing "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" to a Beach Boys tune.

Obama will be fine on foreign affairs. If anything, he is more of a hawk than Clinton.
