I believe that the hardcore liberals and anti-republicans will switch to Obama, but some of them are so put off by him that they will switch sides. Both sides have always had their core group, but it is the moderates that decide any election and I believe that many of those that support Clinton would switch sides as well. I just don’t see all 50% of the Democratic Party that supports Clinton supporting Obama. He just has too much dirty laundry to worry about and he has the leanest resume of any presidential candidate throughout the history of the United States. The questions of his love of country and patriotism are huge red flags.
I agree, without the Clinton votes Obama cannot win.
While the Democrats are notoriously vicious, I believe that they have been even more so this election. Each candidate has such easy to spot weaknesses that just beg for the vindictive among us to attack. I haven’t been turned off by this, but rather I’m encouraged by it considering the fact that I do not believe that either candidate is qualified for the job.
In the end I am hoping that there will not be enough time for the Dems to get it together and McCain comes along and trounces them. That would make a beautiful picture.
