It's kind of fucked up for that kind of childish reasoning to be the reason you'd vote for mccain.
actually now that I think about it I think i read it on the elevator's ticker thing on the way up to the office.

Yeah, I saw that poll too. They say that now, in the heat of a highly partisan contest, but the general election is is MANY news cycles away, and I think even the most rabid Hillary supporter will fall in line when Obama wins the nomination and she endorses him and the whole party lines up behind him.

Oh, absolutely. If the tables had been turned and she'd won 11 contests headed into Texas and Ohio, Obama's staying in would have been hubris of Huckabeean proportions. It's his "newcomer" status that has her campaign remain even slightly viable.
