Democrats for McCain; Republicans for Obama
Mar 7th 2008RavenGOP & Politics & Raven
Evidence of Republicans turning left is growing. There’s a twist here too- Democrats coming right.
Who they gonna vote for?
The two new political demographics — like Soccer moms and NASCAR dads before them — are quickly emerging as the potential election-busters of the 2008 presidential race.
And contrary to conventional wisdom, numbers emerging from polls and primary results show that Sen. John McCain — who has alienated conservatives as he courts independents and moderate Democrats — holds an advantage over Sen. Barack Obama in the race for crossover votes.
There are now more McCainocrats than Obamacans — about 14 percent of Democrats say they would vote for Mr. McCain today instead of Mr. Obama, but just 8 percent of Republicans say they would vote for the Illinois Democrat, according to a Pew Research Center survey on Feb. 28.
Cause for concern???
Additionally, 20 percent of white Democratic voters say they would defect to Mr. McCain if Mr. Obama is the Democratic Party’s nominee — twice the number who would cross over if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wins the nomination, Pew found.
Interesting numbers. I trust them too…of the couple of handfuls of liberal friends I have, not a one of them will cast a vote for the ObOmb or the ChillPill. McCain’s their man. Why? They don’t trust the Democratic candidates to get it right, for them or the country right now. It’s the 3am phone call factor.
