They're "Hillary Republicans", not "Hillary Democrats"

I'm sick of the media talking about the X% of "Hillary supporters" who will "vote for McCain" instead of Obama. They try to make it look like, here are all these Democrats who are turning away from the party...the Democrats are divided!.

I doubt that's the case. LOTS of Hillary supporters, I'm sure, would have voted for McCain anyway, even if Hillary had never entered the stage.

The real story is NOT Hillary Democrats Turn Republican, as they're trying to make out. The real story is: Hillary Republicans Go Back To Whence They Came (Being Republicans).

Republicans are--successfully, so far--trying to turn this week into a discussion about Hillary, not Barack. Let's get off of it.

For fucks sake.

3. I just plain don't get it

All the tunnel vision among Hillary supporters. I voted for her for my Senator. She was an OK Senator. But I cannot understand all the blind support for her.If that support for her is just because she is woman, then these people are setting the women's back 50 years. You vote for the BEST person, not the gender of them. You may as well say so and so is a man, so I am voting for him.

Doesn't make sense to me.

5. I DO understand it. Women were excited. But it's not a reflect of Dems

Women were excited about Hillary. So much so, in fact, that many Republican/conservative women supported her.

Now that some of them will now natrually choose to vote for McCain is not a reflection of doom for Democrats. The Democratic party never had most of these Hillary-to-McCain voters. They're just going home.

4. How about this - WE JUST DROP THE HILLARY, she supports Obama

Anyone who 'claims' they were Hillary supporters and refuse to support Obama and even worse, try to cause disruption have a better term - they're just REPUBLICANS and the clowns that buy into this 'Operation Chaos' crap that Limbaugh is pulling.
