Since Hillary dropped out, I may go Republican & vote for McCain.
I fail to understand this position. Clinton and McCain are on completely different sides on so many major issues, it doesn't make any sense IMO. I can understand liking Clinton and not Obama (or vice versa) but I don't see how one can go from either Clinton or Obama to McCain. Similarly, Romney or Huckabee supporters aren't lining up behind Obama because they aren't happy with McCain, I don't see how one can support two people who have such different political and philosophical beliefs. Don't the issues matter at all?
From what I've heard, Hillary is appalled by the idea that some of her supporters will vote for John McCain. Aside from the fact that she doesn't want to be blamed if the Democrats lose the White House (which would hurt her standing in the party), it doesn't say much for the issues that are important to her if those who supported her turn away from the candidate who will better serve them. Everyone is free to vote for whomever they wish, but I hope they vote for the person they think will be the best president, and not to punish Obama and the Democrats for Hillary's losing the nomination.
Hillary won't be suffer any if Obama doesn't win, it will just set her up to be the nominee in 2012. Then she will be the first woman President.
