Gallup says disaffected Hillary or Barack supporters would back McCain

John McCain, who’s already won enough delegates to become the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, has got to be loving the latest Gallup poll.

The poll says the rancor between the two Democratic campaigns, Hillary’s and Barack’s, may be permanent. 28 percent of Hillary supporters say they’ll vote for Mccain if Barack gets the Democratic nomination; 19 percent of Obama supporters say they’ll vote forĀ  McCain if Hillary wins it.

Gallup cautions that this is still March, and many of those angry Dems will probably come home to their party on Election Day in November.

However, you’ve got to wonder about the prospect of all those liberals actually voting for McCain, who of late has been claiming Ronald Reagan as his political role model. Me? I doubt they really will. My prediction is that angry Dems will just stay home, or leave the presidency spot blank.

Hillary Clinton, a legend in her own mind

Despite what she’s said over and over on the campaingn trail, 1990s First Lady Hillary Clinton:

*Did not play a role in the Northern Irish peace negotiations. She did accept a teapot, however.

*Did not land in Bosnia amidst sniper fire and have to be whisked away by soldiers. News footage shows her standing around on airport tarmac visiting with children, greeting troops, shaking hands with dignataries.

*Was not the first First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to visit a combat zone. That distinction goes to Pat Nixon.
