I advice that you donīt compare us politics of ideology to kenyan style of let my stomach get full no matter what!! sir, i beg to disagree with you on democrats voting for republicans if their choice is not the final nominee. In the us, we have democrats (that remains democrats) and republicans (that remains republicans)..

Notable quotes from the article: -
indiana homemaker ginger smith, 48, said she was with clinton all the way and would not vote for obama. "i believe a woman needs to be in the presidency," smith said. "he's too smooth and doesn't have enough experience. ... I don't trust him, that's my gut feeling." and if the illinois senator is the democratic nominee? "i'll vote for mccain," smith said, referring to republican sen. John mccain of arizona. But on reflection, she tempered her response to say, "i probably won't vote."
later in article...this is the most important and goes to refute all my "naysayers" in this thread!!!!
thirty percent of clinton supporters said they would not vote for obama in november if he were the nominee, according to an nbc/wall street journal poll released last week. twenty-two percent of obama voters said they would not vote for clinton
elsewhere: -
obama supporter julie mccormack, a coffee shop worker from scottsdale, arizona, said the shrill and endless democratic contest prompted her to check out mccain on the internet. "the two of them bickering -- i just can't watch them on tv anymore, i just can't watch it. All of that really annoyed me and bothered me," she said. "i am leaning toward mccain because he seems like a decent person."
how about an article titled
"republicans look to obama." a quote from that article: -
exit polls show most republicans who have crossed over to vote democratic in this primary voted for obama, responding to his message of reaching out to work across party lines.
all this has been said and closed already. What more do you need? do i need to force the donkey to drink water at the river? should i put it on a drip? so, all you airheads who think that democrats never vote republican and vice versa, need to explain how the presidency switches from party to party over the years. Simple non-voting can't eliminate candidates. Sometimes i think mashadites are in primary school, setting themselves up as usa-experts ati just because you passed t.o.e.f.l.!
Accurate poll results are
now in: -
22% of obama's 50% wouldn't vote for clinton, ie clinton would get 78% of obama's 50% democrats,
a 39%-point gain.
30% of clinton's 38% wouldn't vote for obama, ie obama gets only 70% of clinton's 38% popular democrat vote,
27%-point gain.
Of course, these figures fluctuate from day to day, from poll to poll.
but as it stands today, hilary if nominated would gain more voters from obama than vice versa.
jaugenya,
don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
