Many Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama supporters are ready to spurn the Democratic party and vote for John McCain in November if their candidate doesn’t win the presidential nomination, according to a new poll out Wednesday. Among people who identified themselves as Hillary Clinton supporters, 28 percent said they would vote for McCain if Obama is his opponent, the March 7-22 Gallup Poll Daily election tracking survey found. The same poll found that 19 percent of Obama supporters would switch sides and cast ballots for McCain if Clinton is the Democratic candidate. The survey interviewed 6,657 Democratic voters nationwide and had a margin of error of 2 percent. Click here to read the Gallup Poll discussion of the survey. Gallup analysts note that the results could change by November, by which time Democrats will have made great efforts to unify the party. Gallup analysts also noted that voters tend to threaten party desertion but don’t necessarily do so. A recent Gallup survey found that 11 percent of Republican voters said they would vote for a different party or not at all if McCain doesn’t pick a running mate who is more conservative than he is. Historically, the party-switch factor has shown to be less dramatic, Gallup analysts said. Less than 10 percent of Republicans and Democrats crossed party lines in pre-election Gallup polls from 1992 to 2004.
Poster Comment: Since the attacks on McCain's wicked past and present have not really started, I don't take these #s as gospel.

The same poll found that 19 percent of Obama supporters would switch sides and cast ballots for McCain if Clinton is the Democratic candidate. Auggh, these people are addicted to pulling a lever every four years.
Does anyone smell a Clinton/Obama ticket coming, for the good of the party, dontcha know.
I'll ask you what I asked lodwick and Cynicom, Do you think we would be in the same situation right now, if Al Gore had been proven to have won in 2000? Or Kerry in 2004?

It would take a real schmoozmeister at the convention to patch things up between them. There was a better chance a few months ago.

No. Not only do the two candidates despise each other at this point; such a combination might well cause even higher negatives to the Dem ticket than if just one of them was on it.

Gore criticizes Bush for ignoring Iraq's ties to terrorism Our last hope for peace It's a very depressing hypothetical question. We would still be under the ZOG, I suppose, so I guess any differences would be basically cosmetic. You're talking to someone who stopped voting after Carter here.
Ooooo.... Now THAT's a real political threat for McCain!!!! Glad to see these conservatives really know how to stand up with their values. ...... pathetic..... Probably next to impossible for Cain to pick someone more liberal than he is. Unless maybe it's Hillary.

Our last hope for peace You forget JFK/LBJ...They hated each other on a personal basis, politics aside. There was ONLY ONE WAY for the "party" to beat Nixon and that was for the two to kiss and makeup, which they did and even then barely beat him. Without a Clinton/Obama ticket it is a sure bet for McKooK. We lose no matter what.
Then there's "Voodoo Economics" getting the VP gig. The NeoCon train was a rollin' shortly thereafter...
Our last hope for peace We have a choice this election, whether we want to be shot or hung. Some people are trying to find a good side to both choices. Myself, I see nothing good about either and both work for the same master that is hellbent in achieving my demise. So, with that in mind, I will not vote for either, preferring to fight if possible or run if necessary.
I believe the guillotine could be making a big comeback...
Our last hope for peace The thought of that gives me a pain in the neck.
Al Gore was right to be concerned about HW Bush b/c HW Bush had been selling WMDs to Saddam Hussein. After Gulf War I, HW Bush broke his promises to the Iraqis who helped us, and left them to Saddam to kill (as traitors). al-Sadr's father was one of those killed by Saddam b/c he helped the Americans in Gulf War I. Then Paul Bremer made al-Sadr a folk hero, by shutting down his small newspaper (a readership of 5K only). And the serious chaos began. Paul Bremer was busy smoking Saddam's Davidoff cigars and drinking Saddam's Napoleon brandy, and screwing the once protected Iraqi women. For this he received the Medal of Freedom which he probably hangs prominently in one of his homes, perhaps his Swiss vacation home. I can only hope he breathed in enough DU. Al Gore in 2002: But of course you knew all this, just like you "know" I am a neo-conservative.

You is??? All this time I thought you were an American, not a furriner.
I imagine rather more than cosmetic differences. But I agree about the ZOG. I do not see quite the same economic mess, caused at least partially by the insanely expensive Iraq war. I believe Katrina would have been handled more humanely and more competently. And I do not believe there would have been a 9/11 - the NeoCons and their new Pearl Harbor event mentioned in PNAC. But likely something less invasive to our Constitutional rights. I'm sure there would still be some corporate prostitutes, but they wouldn't be Blackwater, Halliburton and KBR; robbing the US Treasury blind. Remember, Slick left us with a surplus.

No one tells me anything, always the last to know.
The only accurate and complete response would put you down, so I'll just LOLOLAY...
Our last hope for peace I wonder if you'll really feel a thing...
Our last hope for peace Actually you have no logical response, just as you have no facts to support your personal attack against me.

Yes. In the dark past there were tales of the eyes moving, blinking etc. A few days ago a man was pronounced brain dead by doctors but he now recalls hearing them say so.
A logical response for a Ron Paul Conservative Constitutionist that puts on knee pads for the Establishment's Socialist/Marxist CFR-member...? LOLOL!
Our last hope for peace Well then, that settles it! Too cru-el and un-usual...hehehehahahahheeheehee
Our last hope for peace Today I endorse Barack Obama for president of the United States. I believe him to be a person of integrity, intelligence, and genuine good will. I take him at his word that he wants to move the nation beyond its religious and racial divides and that he wants to return the United States to that company of nations committed to human rights. I do not know if his earlier life experience is sufficient for the challenges of the presidency that lie ahead. I doubt we know this about any of the men or women we might select. It likely depends upon the serendipity of the events that cannot be foreseen. I do have confidence that the senator will cast his net widely in search of men and women of diverse, open-minded views and of superior intellectual qualities to assist him in the wide range of responsibilities that he must superintend. This endorsement may be of little note or consequence, except perhaps that it comes from an unlikely source: namely, a former constitutional legal counsel to two Republican presidents. Ron Paul was totally free from the establishment. I see Barack Obama as the least bought and paid for by lobbyists among the 3 remaining. I have many differences with Obama, but I see him as the only one who will get us out of Iraq. We know the warmongering McCain will keep us in Iraq, he has promised us. We know Hillary will very likely keep us there too, she will give no date. Barack Obama stated clearly in 2002 he was against the Iraq war and he has a firm date to get us out of Iraq. Barack Obama has also promised to restore habeas corpus. The other two have said nothing. But you would rather that no one wake up to these ideas. You would rather shill against Obama. Notice, I did not post to you, I was asking someone else this question. But for some reason, you chose to butt in and attack me at this moment. And your attack was totally unfounded and w/o evidence. I have posted many times why I am voting for Obama. None of the reasons have to do with his ties to CFR or his stance on gun control or abortion. Those are 3 things I do not like about him. OTOH, McCain thinks bombing children, babies and pregnant women is a necessary part of the hegemony. And Hillary is much like Obama on abortion and gun control. McCain will have no trouble removing whatever remains of our Constitutional rights. Hillary and McCain are also CFR, we cannot get away from CFR right now. The number of presidents members of CFR has been posted on 4um recently more than once. I see Barack Obama as doing the least damage, and he is the most likely to get us out of Iraq. There have been numerous threads about how the Zionists are turning against Obama. I see that as a good thing, I suspect you do not.

You're extremely gullible. To the Maximum.
And you base this opinion on what? I have given you references based on the facts as we are able to know them. You just hand out empty opinions. I am so unimpressed.

Robin: Do you think we would be in the same situation right now, if Al Gore had been proven to have won in 2000? FOH: Gore criticizes Bush for ignoring Iraq's ties to terrorism Funny how so many people forget then past so easily. LOL. Thanks for the truth alert. I love it. The 2 party fraud is alive and well yet so many still don't see it.

Hey, FOH claims he breaks bread with the likes of Ron Paul and Warren Buffett.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
I sat at Ronald Reagan's table during a GOP-fund raising event in the mid-80's, too...
Sure.
