1/4 of Republicans Hate McCainThe Democrat-hating Corporate Media keeps hammering the idea that Democrats are bitterly divided. Today's exit poll show roughly half of Clinton's supporters say they wouldn't vote for Obama in November, while roughly one-third of Obama's supporters say they wouldn't vote for Clinton. Of course it's an idiotic question to ask without separating out the dittoheads who are only voting for Clinton to divide Democrats. And it's polling malpractice to ask voters amidst the "white hot passions of the moment," when the predictive value of the answers for November are close to nil. November is a political lifetime away, and both Clinton and Obama have promised to enthusiastically support the nominee. But while the Corporate Media falsely divides Democrats, they are ignoring real divisions among Republicans, where roughly 1/4 are voting against their party's nominee, John McCain.
Obviously this is terrible news for McCain, who became the Republican nominee when Mitt Romney dropped out on February 7. McCain has had three months to unite Republicans behind him, but 1/4 of Republicans still don't like him. And the loss of 1/4 of Republican votes in crucial states like Ohio and Texas could be fatal. This division only compounds all the other problems McCain has: no money, the hug of death from Bush, nationwide disgust at Republicans (especially among younger voters), devotion to a disastrous war, ignorance about the awful economy, and a growing number of "senior moments" which underscore his single greatest vulnerability - his age. So what percent of Republicans will vote against McCain in November? It's an easy question to ask in polls - why won't the Corporate Media ask it?
