Only Half Of Hillary Supporters Back Obama

by Dan Spencer, Right Side Politics Examiner

Obama still has a problem with Democrat deserters.

A new Associated Press-Yahoo News poll finds that only 53 percent of Hillary supporters support the Democrat's nominee to be. Nearly one quarter of those who backed Hillary say they will vote for John McCain:

Twenty-three percent of Clinton's backers picked Republican John McCain over Obama. Of the rest, 16 percent were undecided, 5 percent were for independent candidate Ralph Nader and 3 percent said someone else.

During the primary fight, before the Rules Committee stole the nomination for Obama, poll after poll found that a significant number of Democrats would vote for Senator McCain in November if Obama is the nominee.

Will Bower, co-founder of Party Unity My Ass, or PUMA, discusses the Just Say No Deal Coalition -- Democrats not voting for Obama -- in the following video:

UPDATE: The support staff has informed me that the "Fox News coding is not compatible" with the Examiners.' You can watch the video here.

So much for the Hillary/Obama unity charade.
