Honestly. Get this through your head. A vote for Obama is not a vote for change. It's just another vote for the status quo because that is exactly what Obama is

He doesn't have old-school conservatives. Let's be clear: it's even less likely that McCain will solidify his base than it is that Obama will do the same on the Democratic side.

Hillary quit, and a huge chunk of her pledged delegates have crossed over to Obama. She couldn't mount a convention fight if her life depended on it. There's not going to be a second act to all this. It's over in every sense of the word.

A pro-choice, progressive, anti-war Hillary supporter who is willing to vote for pro-life, pro-war, socially conservative, anti-feminist John McCain, is a freak. I'm saying that from an objective standpoint, not a partisan one.
A voter (having previously bought into all of Hillary's platform). who is now contemplating voting for McCain, is completely illogical. It's a spiteful, freakish exercise of the voting right.

"Well, look," Obama said, "the, the, I mean - first of all I am not vetting my VP search committee for their mortgages, -- "

The Obama Campaign Criticized Sen. Clinton For Accepting Contributions From Representatives Of Countrywide. "Obama aides also said Clinton is in no position to stiffen oversight after taking contributions from mortgage industry lobbyists, including funds from representatives of Countrywide, which has been at the center of the mortgage meltdown. The Washington Post, 3/25/08

What base does Obama have? Other than african americans and ultra left liberals?

If you don't believe this, I'd like to hear your explanation for how he toppled Hillary Clinton and how he is gaining momentum in the polls.

I am a gun owning country boy from Oregon who aquired a bit of an education. He has my vote, even though I do not agree with him 100%. The Reps are running us into the ground.

My opinion is that the biggest reason is that two states Obama lost big in were cancelled out.

So you are still in that small demographic that flocks to Obama.

No, *pledged* delegates can not be released until the actual convention and an actual vote is taken.

General H. Norman Schwarzkopf has called Joseph L. Galloway, a military columnist for McClatchy Newspapers, "The finest combat correspondent of our generation — a soldier's reporter and a soldier's friend."

Galloway is the co-author, with Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, of "We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young," a story of the first large-scale ground battle of the Vietnam War. The book was made into a movie of the same name. Galloway was portrayed in the movie by actor Barry Pepper.

Most of the former Hillary supporters are already moving over to support Obama

"I think both of us would support Senator McCain. ... And Cynthia and I and two other members of our group are going to definitely support Senator McCain in the upcoming election because we feel he's the best candidate. And we need a strong leader to govern in the coming years." -- Marilu Sochor

Fox News' "Fox & Friends"
June 9, 2008

FOX NEWS' BRIAN KILMEADE: "Hillary Clinton is urging her supporters to unify and get behind Barack Obama this November. So why are some of them telling her no way and pledging to vote for John McCain? Let's ask Cynthia Ruccia and Marilu Sochor, co-founders of Women for Fair Politics. First off you Cynthia, you heard Hillary Clinton ask you to support her rival, Senator Barack Obama. Why won't you?"

CYNTHIA RUCCIA: "We love Hillary Clinton. We are so proud of the job that she has done. We feel very upset with our party. We feel that they have absolutely betrayed us. The amount of sexism that came out during the course of this campaign was completely unacceptable, and we feel that we want to make a statement we're going to support John McCain. Our organization, we have had in one week just under 600,000 people visit our web site -- 80% of them feel the way that we do."

KILMEADE: "Marilu, I understand that Howard Dean has contacted your organization and said basically what do you want? What did you tell him?"

MARILU SOCHOR: "Well he's contacted Cynthia and myself twice over the last week and basically, he wanted to know what we felt and how we could get on board the Obama train. And we told him that we didn't feel that it was an option. That we felt that the DNC did not stand or defend Senator Clinton during the whole primary campaign and that we did not feel that we could, for more than one reason, throw our support toward Senator Obama, no matter what Senator Clinton suggested that we do."

KILMEADE: "Cynthia, where did you hear the sexism? Tell us what really ticked you off."

RUCCIA: "It was a lot of big things, you heard them all before. It was a lot of little things. It was a day to day to day thing. Even last week when it was very apparent that Barack Obama was going to be the presumed nominee and Hillary had lost and they consider her the person who lost, Governor Richardson went on the air and started bashing her. It was just completely unacceptable. I couldn't imagine --"

KILMEADE: "You don't think he would have bashed her if she was a man?"

RUCCIA: "No. Because I think in the traditions of our Democratic party when someone has been declared the winner and someone has been declared the loser that the winner doesn't bash the loser. It's just unacceptable."

KILMEADE: "What have you done in terms of contacting the McCain camp? Would you vote for John McCain or sit it out?"

SOCHOR: "No. I think both of us would support Senator McCain. But, our group, which started with five members all have different opinions on this matter. That's why Women for Fair Politics, that's what it's all about. We have some people who are going to write in Hillary's name. We have some people who are going to sit it out. And Cynthia and I and two other members of our group are going to definitely support Senator McCain in the upcoming election because we feel he's the best candidate. And we need a strong leader to govern in the coming years."

KILMEADE: "The fact that he reached out to you right away on Tuesday night I'm sure didn't hurt either."

SOCHOR: "No."

KILMEADE: "All right. Cynthia Ruccia and Marilu Sochor thanks for joining us this morning."

Ex Hillary Clinton Supporters for John McCain

Well, not so fast. I'm not sure it's "most" at all. There are a significant number of Clinton supporters who are not moving in Obama's direction. And there are more who are starting little clubs of protest against Barack Obama. Obviously this is not a good sign for the Democratic party. At present I would say it's a grass roots type of thing but who knows what will happen if things should snowball?

These same people are adamant about supporting John McCain.
