>>I watched CNN last night and they had an interview with a professor at Emory who studied how people vote in the U.S. It turns out that the majority of Americans study some of the issues (the ones they care about most) but always vote by their gut and emotion. If their gut or emotion leans toward one candidate while another candidate actually has policies they agree with, they will vote with their emotion pretty much every time. That was very disheartening to listen to.

The number I heard the other day, which I believe was nationwhide, not in any particular state, was 20% of Hillary's supporters say they will not vote for Obama. I'm sure many of them will come around. Time will lessen the disappointment of defeat and they will realize Obama's policies are quite similar to Hillary's and quite different from McCain's. Vows to stay the course in Iraq, appoint anti-Roe judges, etc. are not going to get their votes. They're just angry and disappointed after a hard battle and after believing for a long time that Hillary's nomination was just a formality.
