It's becoming clear that a contentious Democrat primary is setting the stage for a Republican victory. Twenty-two percent of Obama supporters want Clinton to withdraw. The same percentage of Clinton supporters want Obama to withdraw and neither are likely to do so. More telling are the percentage of each groups supporters that will likely defect if their candidate loses the nomination. In fact, a shocking 32% of Clinton supporters will seek an alternative to Obama if Clinton is left at the Democrat altar. What would cement a Republican victory? Why a McCain-Rice ticket of course.

Hillary Clinton is selling Day-1 help to victims and sufferers. Barack Obama is selling effervescent hope to yes-we-can dreamers. This media hyped horse race is like a fight between diet Coke and diet Pepsi, artificially sweetened candidates devoid of real nourishment. | political reform | plutocracy | US presidential election | Barack Obama | Hillary Clinton | read more | 10 comments | quote
