  • Cross-Over Independents and Republicans

    I am a strong Hillary Clinton supporter who still thinks she can win. But I am a realist and if Obama wins the nomination I will vote for him, as I believe the vast majority of Clinton supporters will. However, this idea that as many as 25% of Clinton and Obama supporters will vote for McCain, I believe is a crock! There has been this hype all primary season that many, many independents and Republicans crossed over and voted for a Democrat. It is my belief that most of these cross-over voters didn't vote for the Democrat but against the other because they didn't want to see the other face their candidate. I would be very interested to see how many of these "so-called" traitors are really dyed in the wool Republicans!
