GOP Nominee
Former Candidates
Matt Burns, the spokesman for the GOP convention in St. Paul e-mails to say that the RNC’s convention office in St. Paul has received numerous telephone calls in the last few hours from people who identify themselves as Clinton supporters asking how they can help Sen. McCain.

Obama should not have claimed the nomination without her consession.

I suppose a voter is a voter, but I do not trust some of these Hillary supporters.

The thing is, many of these disgruntled Hillary supporters WILL return to the Democratic fold. But if of her 17 million voters or whatever, if say, 500,000 of them in the right places vote McCain, that could be the difference if the election is close enough.

Yes, 500,000 is a lot of votes, but I still think we can win without her most radical supporters.

Beware of wolves in sheeps’ clothing. While I personally support them voting and working against Sen Obama, I’d be concerned that it’s a ruse. After all, didn’t a supporter of Sen Clinton volunteer for Sen Obama “just to see what was going on?”

The problem is that most of us don’t hang out with Hillary voters in our daily lives.
I sure don’t.
Most of us are overeducated young people. Most of my friends voted for Obama or Ron Paul in the primaries.
When I talk to my working class family members who have lived all of their lives in the industrial Midwest, I get a strong sense of what people who vote for Hillary, and the people who decide elections, actually think. They will not vote for Obama. Not a single one. It doesn’t matter how many speeches he gives. Some might stay home. But none will vote Obama. They are McCain’s single target. The next five months should be spent trying to win working class white guys and old ladies.

Since Hillary was treated unfairly by the DNC I am now putting my support and MONEY behind John McCain.
Screw the dems and thier “golden boy ” Obama. The DNC are sexist pigs and I hope they all lose in November.
I don’t care if Obama makes Hillary his runningmate, I will NEVER vote for the racist, elitist pig Obama.
The Democratic Party can GO TO HELL!!

I am a right leaning Independant voter.
I take my privilage to vote very seriously and has watched the primary election very carefully.
In my opinion this primary was stolen from Hillary. Delegate after delegate jumped on board the Obama train even as Hillarywon State after State.
The Dem big wigs made up their minds when Obama stepped on the stage that he was the Golden Boy.
What happened to having your vote count?
