Tasty, But Let’s Keep Our Clothes On…
Gallup polling in March reveals that almost 20% of Obama’s supporters say that if Clinton wins the nomination, they’re going to vote for McCain. And on Clinton’s side, almost 30% say the converse — if Obama wins, they’ll vote for McCain.
These are numbers that should alarm Democratic operatives, and should guide McCain’s campaign advertising choices come September. As expected, McCain’s candidacy may induce some cross-over voting; unexpectedly, Democrat infighting may help.
My take on it is, it’s too tasty to be true. Keep in mind how many Republicans were saying back in December that they would never vote for John McCain — and how many are saying it now. I think most of this “blowback” will disappear about 2 months after the Democratic convention, unless the convention fight gets unexpectedly bloody.
Allahpundit over at Hot Air thinks about 1/4 of those currently saying they’ll vote for McCain, actually will. That would be awfully nice, if true…

Too tasty to be true? Disappointing but I’m afraid you’re right. I remember threats (promises?) in the last presidential elections that if Bush won many high profile liberalistas would be moving to Canada. I was disappointed then as well.
