whomever is the beneficiary, if this ends b/c of backroom machinations or what is considered undue influence to "force" hrc or bho to withdraw - the party will be very weakened. for the party, the best scenario is a situation where one candidate wins so many pledged delegates that the other bows out, or u see a huge movement of superdelegates to put the race away. if it is still close after march 4 and the party goes behind closed doors it will be trouble. hrc supporters, esp women may think it is sexism/ageism etc. bho supporters, MANY of whom gravitated towards obama first on an anybody but hillary platform, may stay home or head to mccain.
Obama supporters heading to McCain? I don't see how that's possible considering that the Obama platform is based on two central issues: CHANGE and the stance against the war from the beginning.
I am in ohio and I can tell you that many obama supporters are also motivated by opposition to clinton. a lot of his supporters are middle and upper class, very educated. simply put these types of people are able to vote their political consciences more so than some working class female who thinks that the day hrc is inaugurated that she will have health care. yeah they want the war to end but its unlikely they're son or daughter is there. I know that to many people (hrc supporters) this may sound crazy, but to many obama supporters, their hatred of hrc is eclipsed only by their hatred of bush. she is that unpopular. its the same phenomenon as the conservatives that would rather see mccain and the gop lose than to vote for him. of course some of them will wander back onto the reservation, but not all of them.
Most Obama supporters I know will go to McCain if Hillary wins the nomination, including myself.
who has voted to confirm every single Bush judge?
Your comment just reinforces my belief that Obama is building nothing but the Barack Obama fan club.
