There’s no way, given the scenerio outlined, that the Clinton supporters will sit out the election. Nor will they support McCain.

Many things are being said by each Democratic presidential hopeful’s camp about the other in the heat of the primary battles. But that will all be forgiven and forgotten when it comes time for the general election.

From their perspective, McCain represents more of the same. The same in Iraq. The same with the economy.

No Democrat wants that. For his or her party. Nor for his or her nation.

On the Republican side, there’s no way the conservatives who say they will sit out the election rather than vote for McCain will be true to their word. The thought of Obama, or another Clinton in the White House, causes their bile to rise.

The nation is actually pretty evenly split between Democrats and Republicans anyway. So it’s not their votes that will be courted in the general election as much as the votes of independents who could go either way. In the end, the non-partisans will likely determine who is elected the next president of the United States.

Unable to support BHO, countless Hillary supporters will likely stay home during the election, or perhaps they will vote for McCain. Either way, with Obama as the nominee, we’ve assured ourselves another 4 years of a Republican president.

I suppose we deserve what we get.

Now we’ll have the opportunity to vote for a rookie, opportunist, manipulative, conniving, flip-flopping, sleaze ball OR a war-mongering, OLD, post-traumatic torture suffering, OLD man.

WOW! What choices!
