So are Obama voters Republicans?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

I have heard over and over again that "If Obama does not win, they will vote McCain." I have not heard any Hillary supporter say that. I don't care what you think of Hillary. If you would vote for another train wreck Repuke before ANY Dem, you really hate our country and I have no respect for you or your choice. It also causes me to wonder what Repuke voters see in Obama that I don't. I've got to think that if Repukes like my candidate, I have the wrong candidate because Repukes hate everything I like and back at them.

1. This Obama supporter will vote for a flaming sack of dogshit before ANY repuke

Count on it.

[Uncle Sinister]

13. This Clinton supporrter will not only vote for, but campaign for said sack of dogshit.

Not, of course, that EITHER Hillary or Barak resembles a flaming sack of shit. (despite some opinions here to the contrary)

[Catch22Dem]

21. Agreed! (n/t)

[OffWithTheirHeads]

22. Now That, I can respect

I've said before that I would vote for a dead frog before any Repuke. I don't understand any other position. Unless you are a snake handeling fundie nut job of course.

[Dogmudgeon]

2. If Obama does not win, I will NOT vote for Obama!

I've made up my mind.

If I actually have one.

--p!

3. I've seen/heard that quite a few times that it makes you wonder...nt

[sidwill]

9. Yes I have as well and it cuts equally both ways so stop trying to make such a wide generalization.

BTW I'll vote for whoever the Dem is, I'm just pulling for Obama.

[libbygurl]

19. Nope, it does NOT cut both ways, so please stop with the false generalisations. nt

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. I match up with Kucinich and Gravel on those political test thingies, so I'd say I'm not one. nt

[TheWraith]

5. Who's been saying that? I certainly haven't heard anything to that effect. NT

[Yael]

10. Quite a few people reported today that they got a (R) spouse/friend/relative

to vot Obama today, but they would revert to their party if Clinton wins.

I read that as they are willing to give him a chance, but would rather stick with 4 more years of what they know than go to Hillary (which they think they know).

[TheWraith]

27. Ah, crossover voters. That's a completely different thing.

Yes, Hillary can't draw crossover voters. I'm sorry, but that'sthe truth. Somebody whose negatives are 48% isn't going to beat out McCain for moderate Republicans who still, for some crazy-ass reason, perceive Johnny McStrangelove as being independently minded. Not that he's not somewhat independent--it's just that he's lost his mind.

I don't know what McCain's negatives are, but I'm willing to bet they're a lot lower than Clinton's. He keeps the moderate Repubs and Repub-leaning indies.

6. What a loser...

stealing republican and independent votes, how does he expect to win like that?

[pinkpops]

7. I think the swing voters are called "independents".

[DemGa]

8. Attacking Dems with right-wing talking points

and speaking "unity" with Republicans.

It's definitely raised some eyebrows.

[TheWraith]

28. Yes, the Clinton camp has been playing nasty this cycle. NT

[Laurab]

11. What a stupid flamebait post. I voted for Obama

and I'm a lifelong Democrat. Why can't Hillary supporters understand that some people just don't like Clinton, or feel that she won't be good for the country?


Are all Hillary supporters idiots?

[Yael]

12. This is what I have been saying for a while -- people argue that she is vetted

and she is, but the results were not positive. People know who she is and they have already made up their minds, one way or another.

I think Obama is getting people to question their party loyalty in a way that she can't.

[JackRiddler]

14. I will never vote for a Republican... or for a Clinton, the Republican Enablers

[nonconformist]

15. I've heard it said, because Obama is getting a lot of support for Indys and moderate Republicans

who WILL jump ship for McCain in large numbers in November, I do believe.

And I'm with you... when someone is attracting Republicans with their policies, it gives me great pause.

[libbygurl]

25. Amen. nt

[book_worm]

16. umm, no.

[sniffa]

17. This is a very honest thread

:eyes:

[panader0]

18. What a crock!

That's like saying since Coulter and Rush support Clinton over McCain, that Hillary supporters are repubs......... Get a grip.

[realFedUp]

20. I've heard Republican women say they're voting for Hillary

This is just one interesting turn to the
race. Republican women, fed up with GOP, Inc.
re-registered as Indies and are voting for
Hillary.

[L. Coyote]

23. Any correlation studies yet with state variations in voter rules? Dems need to know this!

[Guava Jelly]

24. No

I am not a republican

[rucky]

26. If there are people who vote that way...

why should the Republicans get all of them?

:shrug:

[Dr Fate]

29. I've been hearing for years that the anti-grass roots, DLC approach wins the Indy swing votes.

DLCers telling me they are going to win these votes and Obama actually doing it are 2 different things.

I dont see all that many problems with swing-voters and independents coming over to the DEMS via Obama.
