Hillary needs to stay away from the VP slot. Diehard Hillary fans will now rally behind McCain , defeat Obama, and bring Hillary back from the dead in 2012. At which time the DNC will eat their words and kiss her ass because, by then, they will realize what they’ve done.

If they haven’t already.

No doubt there is buyer’s remorse. If Hillary had the Rev. Wright stuff early on, she blew it by holding it. He was swift-boated too late in the primaries. I think if you started over right now, she would crush him.

Our local CBS affiliate ran an online poll on Tuesday night (Oregon/Kentucky primary night) and asked the question: “If your candidate is not the Democrat nominee, how would you vote in November … support the nominee or vote for John McCain?”

Support the nominee – 40% Vote for McCain – 60%

This is pretty telling, considering Obama crushed Hillary in the Colorado Caucus back in February. Also, one has to wonder if a case of “buyer’s remorse” has developed.

No Quarter is one of the big anti “No Bama”/pro Hillary sites. Merciless some of those posters. I wander over there on a semi regular basis… whenever I get a masochistic hair up the rear end….

If BHO gets the DNC nod, I believe die hard Hillary fans will most definitely come out and vote, and cast their ballots for McCain. If Obama lost this year, I highly doubt he would be the DNC darling in 2012. So this opens the field for a 2012 Hillary run.

On the flip side, if Obama wins, Hillary won’t see a possible nomination until 2016. It’s for this same reason that I don’t believe she’d take a #2 slot as veep. So Hillary supporters are as vested in an Obama defeat as any solid GOP voter.

Jus’ one girl’s opinion.

Scrapiron, one European had a similar observation about the choices for Americans. It was a pretty easy call form him. http://patriotroom.com/?p=291

I do wonder just how many of these upset Hillary supporters will stay home on election day rather than vote for Obama. The number may equal just as many conservatives who don’t trust McCain so they may cancel each other out.

My worry is that McCain will attempt to broaden his appeal to these disaffected Hillaryites and walk even further away from the conservative base.

As Skip alluded to, it’s not enough to have people vote for you, they have to donate to your campaign, make the phone calls, put up the yard signs and go door to door. I can’t see too many former Hillary supporters doing that for McCain any more than I can see many disaffected conservatives doing that for McCain.

It appears a lot of Klington supporters will be joining McCain in anger management class.

McCain, Married a Foxy lady who is a millionaire, and to top it off she owns a beer company. How many of you guys want to replace him? For the free beer naturally. I’ve heard a lot of guys pray for that very thing.

If Obama loses in Nov. (in spite of McCain’s best efforts) , it will be because of racism! Just ask the media. The funny thing is that this will certainly be one of those years where the exit polls will be meaningless. I can forsee a situation where people will vote McCain, but tell the pollster they voted Obie, because they don’t want to be thought racist.

I bet quite a bit of Hillary’s voters pull the lever for McCain rather than Obama. Especially after the bloodletting in Denver! Can’t wait! Bwahahahaha!

In the end they’ll come around, most of them, just like most Conservatives who swore they’d never vote for McCain have abandoned their principles and decided to vote for him, albeit reluctantly, and with disgust.

But what they won’t do is give or raise money, or proselytize for him. In the end, there will probably be some small percentage that doesn’t vote, or cross-votes at the top of the ticket. And I suspect it will end up being about the same on both sides.

This will have an interesting consequence, though. No matter who wins in november, they’ll likely have less than a 50% approval rating.
