Fair-weather Dems: Don't let the door hit you ...

[opprimo]

According to a recent Gallup poll, 28 percent of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) backers would vote for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) if Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) won the Democratic nomination for president

I don't understand either set of would-be ship jumpers. So the mentality goes like this: "If my Democratic candidate loses, instead of voting for a candidate with almost identical policy ideas, I'm going to jump ship and vote for the guy who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, who thinks that Roberts and Alito are 'two of the greatest Supreme Court justices ever,' and who is anti-gay and anti-choice!"

What the fuck?

Essentially, yes.

I just don't understand these people. They're totally crazy. (But Clinton backers are nine percent more crazy than Obama supporters ;-))

As I've said, if it comes down to Clinton vs. McCain, then I'll vote for Clinton ... I ain't gonna be happy about it. But I'll still vote for the Democrat.

Perhaps it comes down to 28% of Hillary supporters being too racist to vote for a black guy and 19% of Obama supporters being too sexist to vote for a women.

Haha, that was my thought. :)
