1 in 5 Dems will vote for McCain if Their Candidate Loses Nomination

[Thepricebreaker]

The lengthy Democratic primary contest bodes well for Republican chances of holding the White House, a new poll suggests.

As Democratic Senators Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Clinton of New York slug it out for the nomination, many of their supporters -- at least in Pennsylvania, site of the next major primary -- aren't committed to the party's ticket in November, according to a Franklin & Marshall College Poll.

Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination. Among Clinton supporters, 19 percent said they would support McCain in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee. (See poll)

10. The State Dept. had 3 Security Breaches.

You think it ends there? They use the NSA, the phone companies and the e-mail systems to regularly spy on Americans. What's gonna stop 'em from doing to our candidate?

6. What percentage of Dems voted for Bush in '04? nt

7. I expect that number to go down drasticlly

the more time people have to get used to the nominee. Right now tensions are high and people are still attached to their candidate.

8. You mean the Women who consider choice as important will vote

for McCain over Obama because Clinton lost? OK.

11. ...and what percentage of Republicans refuse to support McCain?

Seems that poll forgets the other side of the equation.

[Yes We Did]

12. Well, what do you expect when you tell half the country they don't count.

I'm suprised it's not higher on Obama's side.
We don't count... as far as I know.
