I wish I had your optimism about the November elections. Unfortunately, I believe that, despite McCain being pretty unacceptable, he may eke out a victory IF Hillary Clinton and her surrogates continue their temper tantrum. I don't believe that ordinary rank-and-file Clinton democrats care at all what various Obama supporters may say. However, the words and actions of their leader, for lack of a better term, can certainly be persuasive. Case in point is the ridiculousness over FL and MI.
I watched the news this AM and a number of Hillary supporters in FL were outraged, just outraged at having their election result in delegates with 1/2 vote each. One woman shook her head in disbelief at the outlandish tactics of the DNC and stated something to the effect that the GOP must be laughing at us. I guess no one bothered to tell her: The GOP did the SAME THING to their delegates in FL. The state party however just went about with business as usual despite the fact that their candidates only 57 of formerly 114 votes.
