I have to admire McCain - he's made himself into everyone's "eff you" vote!
It amazes me that I hear so many Hillary supporters (20% is the figure that I've seen quoted) claim they'll vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination. A lot of that is surely racist voters, and people who would end up voting for McCain over Hillary,but a lot of it is sour grapes. People have been honest about that given the level of rancor.
So, to those of you who fall into this latter category, ponder this. McCain might get to name a Supreme Court judge, which would tip the court for the foreseable future and finally lead to the overturning of Roe v Wade.
And maybe that is what we need in this nation. No one really sees how imminent the threat is, because this never seems to come to pass. Maybe when Roe is overturned we would see an end to such silly antics on the part of many Democrats. Maybe the "Security Moms" would stop voting Republican. Maybe people would stop voting for who they'd "like to have a beer with".
The GOP would die if Roe was overturned, so would it be the worst thing in the world? Especially since white Democratic women will have caused it via sour grape votes for McCain?
Would it not be poetic justice for such 'spoiler' voters?
