Of course. It's a given that if I support one candidate in a primary I must support all other candidates in that primary for the general election. Or, at least, if 80% of my preferred candidate's opponent's supporters I must support that opponent for the general election with 80% of myself.
Or, Dave, do you think all the millions of Clinton voters in America should get together and decide which of them are allowed to not vote Obama in the general, so they can match the percentage of Obama supporters saying they would vote Clinton in the general?
My point is that neither Clinton nor Obama supporters - given where the two candidates stand on the issues - should be any more or any less likely to defect to McCain
That's all. Just the thought of either Democrat losing to McCain out of spite or worse (i.e. sexism in relation to Clinton or racism in relation to Obama) on the part of the other's supporters saddens me and polling suggests that, right now, Clinton supporters are more likely to undermine Obama than his would Clinton
I'd have a hard job doing that considering I'm not infatuated with Obama at all, let alone absurdly
You just get back to supporting McCain. I'll be supporting the nominee of the party with whom I identify
Dave
I understand that you view it as a merit to blindly support the same party every election, irrespective of candidates, but I don't, so I'm not really uncomfortable with supporting McCain.
Don't you think it is a tad presposterous of you to decide for others which way they should vote and for what reasons? You've been head-over-heels in love with Obama rather than Clinton, despite there being no difference between them. Others may, for similar reasons, have different sets of preferences, such as wanting Clinton over McCain and then McCain over Obama.
