Nationally: McCain Building Huge Lead

Note: I put the following material up on three state pages (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey). It applies mainly to Pennsylvania, but it's also applicable to just about every other state in the union. It's very, very good news. If you want to get up-to-the-minute information from the McCain Campaign, you can do so by e-mailing Patrick Hynes at: phynes@calypsocom.com. In politics, Patrick is as good as it gets.


In a sign of just how divisive and ugly the Democratic fight has gotten, only 53% of Clinton voters say they'll vote for Obama should he become the nominee. Nineteen percent say they'll go for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and 13% say they won't vote.

Sixty percent of Obama voters say they'll go for Clinton should she win the nomination, with 20% opting for McCain, and three percent saying they won't vote.

ABC News’ Political Punch Blog: Keystone Democrats Set To Defect

By Jake Tapper

In the new Franklin & Marshall College Poll (read it HERE) some good news for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and some troubling news for Democrats.

Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, 51% to 35% -- increasing her lead from February, when she was up 44% to 37%. She leads among young voters, wealthier voters...voters in virtually every demographic group, with the exceptions of Philly voters and non-whites.

In a sign of just how divisive and ugly the Democratic fight has gotten, only 53% of Clinton voters say they'll vote for Obama should he become the nominee. Nineteen percent say they'll go for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and 13% say they won't vote.

Sixty percent of Obama voters say they'll go for Clinton should she win the nomination, with 20% opting for McCain, and three percent saying they won't vote.

Grim.

Note: I'll comment later today (Friday) on the above poll results.

Obama loses credibility every time he opens his trap lately. I think he will win the nomination unless the superdelegates give it to thunderthighs. There isn't enough left for her to win fairly. That is good for us though. McCain and the party will open a HUGE can of whoopass on him come the general election. Have you seen my post on his 1995 book "Dreams of my father"? If not, I suggest you do and spread the good news around. What a smoking gun! See you around.

Hi Average: I'm going to re-name you "Above-Average American." I'll check out your comments on "Dreams of My Father." Since Obama's (Black) father basically did nothing for him -- while his (white) mother did everything, I'd suggest the Senator stop dreaming about dear old dad. It's very important for McCain supporters to get copies of Obama's books (I know, he gets a cut from every purchase) and examine what's really in them. Keep up the great work.
