    @ HP

    "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."

    What amazes me is that you didn't "hear" that in the same WSJ/NBC poll you're quoting, it also said that 20% of Obama supporters would vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination. What does that make them? I guess we hear what we want to hear.
