John McCain didn’t promise any ponies. I’ve said all along you’ve got to promise everyone a pony.

VEry true Tully. It’s sad, but true. That’s how it goes. You’ve got to promise the masses a pony.

FWIW, there’s a clip from MSNBC on the feed at the right, showing that more Dems crossover to McCain in a matchup with Obama (14% of Dems) than there are Republicans crossing over for Obama (8%) in the current polls. And in key states like Ohio, apparently the numbers were worse for Obama, where he only held onto 77% of Dem votes (vs. Hillary holding 87%) in polls against McCain.

You can assume that these numbers will change- but still, it may be more likely that those numbers will worsen for Obama in the redder states after he’s ‘tested’ via the general election campaign attacks, while Clinton is already so well known that her negatives probably will stay more static.

Interesting too, that when you look at the different percentages of crossovers for McCain and Obama, it pretty much cancels out because there are more registered Dems than there are GOPs. If that remained static, then it would truly end up being an election decided by the Independently registered voters.

However, on a different note… Now that there are no real fiscal conservative Republicans (not going to tax and spend) left in the race, I can see, that some Republicans will vote for Obama (or Hillary) to make sure a Democrat is placed in office so Republicans aren’t blamed for the ongoing perpetual worsening of the State of the Union going forward. If our financial situation worsens past this next election, this would increase the chances of a real Fiscal Conservative Republican getting into office in 2012. 9If McCain is placed in office; this would obviously mean that a Democrat would have a greater chance in 2012. For all U.S. citizens, I hope whoever is elected can fix our financial mess, but it doesn’t look like we have much to choose from now.

I don’t see how real Republicans could support him. For example, in regards to taxes, I heard Obama say that people that make over $75,000 would lose the "Bush tax cuts for the rich." Funny, $75,000 is "rich" to Obama? I mean, really, two teachers married to one another make $75,000… Do you really think that qualifies as rich?
