Hillary Voters
It’s strangely amusing to see all these talking heads hanging out downtown for the Convention. We’re steering clear of the crush, so it’s all on TV and the ‘net for me. But you have to notice that the media today are obsessed with the Hillary voters who are unsure they will vote for Obama. I heard MSNBC just now quote a poll that 30% of Clinton voters in the primary say they will vote for John McCain.
I think that’s insane, of course, given the fact that McCain, if he becomes President, will give us exactly the opposite of the policies and outcomes both Clinton and Obama support. I guess we’ll see. I think Clinton continues to make quite perfect statements about the situation, including her statement this morning about McCain’s use of her in his own ads – “I’m Hillary Clinton and I did not approve that message”.
Update: Okay, I just watched Chris Matthews interviewing three PUMA types outside the Convention Hall, and all I can say is that these women absolutely have to be right-wing plants. They’re not only stupid, they’re rude just like the rightist fringe.
