3. Your Hillary supporter friends are blowing hot air. You're telling me
liberal white women -- women who are proud to vote for the first potential woman president are going to vote for McCain? A guy who has CONSISTENTLY fought against a woman's right to choose. Nope. They're just mad right now, and true a few will stay home or vote for McCain out of spite. But the MAJORITY will come to their senses by November.

I don't agree with everything said in this episode of NOW, but it is still worth watching:

Willie Brown made it clear that 27% of Hillary supporters are NOT going to cross over to McCain. He said a few might just like it has been in every contested primary before (I came across a Kossak the other day who admitted he did not vote in '04), but that those folks are fixated on personality, not principle or policy. I tend to agree with that. I don't like Hillary and think she lacks character -- but I know she, like Obama, will nominate liberal judges, thinks our health care system is broken and we should move to universal health care, will start withdrawing troops from Iraq, change the tax structure so the super wealthy pay their fair share, try to mend relations with countries around the world, etc. Why is that the case? Because she's a Democrat. Marginally, true, but a Democrat.
