Democratic Base Fissures
Although attention has been focused on McCain's problems with the GOP base, there are indications that some Democrats might defect if Obama is the party's nominee. Overall, 20% of white Democratic voters say they would vote for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee. That is twice the percentage of white Democrats who say they would support McCain in a Clinton-McCain matchup. Older Democrats (ages 65 and older), lower-income and less educated Democrats also would support McCain at higher levels if Obama rather than Clinton is the party's nominee.

This is the craziest election I have ever seen.
And thus Hillary Clinton should be defeated now by Barack Obama.
The Straight Talk Express beats the Spare Change Express?
Call it what you want. You are actively opposing the only chance to take the Supreme Court in this election. You know exactly what Obama will do. There are likely to be retirements very soon between either Ginsburg or Stevens. This decision matters and appointing conservatives to the Supreme Court is only possible with McCain.
....and I will not vote away my nephew and nieces safety.
Oh come on!
Kucinich should have been a shoe in!
Remember in the South the Democrats were in control from the end of Reconstruction (1877 until the 1990’s in most states and 2002 in Georgia. There was an interesting alliance that developed after the New Deal in the 30’s that culminated in the 50’s and beyond. The white Democratic power brokers struck a deal with black ministers to retain control until there were enough defections to the Republican party that the pendulum swung to Republican control of most state legislatures. However, the payoffs continue and the ministers expect it to deliver the vote. The Democratic Party knows this and will swing votes whichever way the pay comes within the party.
How’s that? Based on the fact that McCain for Alito and Roberts. He voted for Bork. And Scalia. And every single one of Bush’s nominees. But you’re SURE he’ll support activist leftists. RIIIIIGHT.
Sigh....
Sean is such a putz
That will be an interesting stat to look at after the election. Who says Democrats don’t have racist tendencies.
IVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR MONTHS!!...I KNOW A LOT OF DEMOCRATS...
I think Rush is playing mind games and is using some true reverse psychology. He often pretends to do this, but I think he really is in this case. I bet he can't wait to go after Obama once Hillary is out of the picture. McCain could win 45 states against Obama. Right now Obama is a 'clean slate' and will be very easy to define because of his radical liberalism.
Exactly. That, and avoiding a President Hillary are the only reasons to vote for McCain.
“The MSM will use this to try to shame people into voting Obama...you are “racist” if you don’t.”
Actually, the MSM is going to spin this to get the RATS back on board the Hillary wagon.

What are they saying?
The predictions in this thread beat any Coast-to-Coast radio show. However, they are entertaining.
Of course they do- that's why this black person never trusted white liberals in general. This election should be very eye opening.
Hannity asked why Hillary is not going after him on that issue and he said she can't. Her husband pardoned the FALN terrorist to help her win the NY senate seat.
Morris than mentioned that Hillary worked for the Black Panthers at one time.
