“I always vote against.” – W. C. Fields
Is it just me or do you think McCain is going to win because of the egos and indecision within the Democrats nestled in this stupid process of delegates and winner-takes-some? How else does a party go from two viable candidates to implosion? I’m with Cliff on this: “Play rock, paper, scissors. Just get it over with.”
Also, as Gallup suggests, Clinton supporters are a spiteful lot.
Update: Clinton sides with McCain on the gas tax holiday and rebukes Obama for not blindly nodding his head (see post on why a temporary suspension of the gas tax is a) dumb, b) a tactic to get votes, and c) will not happen). McCain, Lieberman and Clinton should just get a room already!
I don’t really buy the poll numbers. First: with the campaign still in progress, emotions are running high. Second: the actual campaign with McCain will cause a lot of concern among those who were supporting the losing Democrat, as they realize that they really don’t want McCain to win. Finally: a lot will depend on how gracefully the losing Democrat handles things and how aggressively she or he campaigns for the winner.
In short, I’m really skeptical about any poll about what people will do in a hypothetical campaign that hasn’t really started yet.
