Looks like the bloodbath between Hill and Barack “I hear nothing” Obama might spill over to help McCain pick up some votes.

From CNSNews

The lengthy Democratic primary contest bodes well for Republican chances of holding the White House, a new poll suggests.

As Democratic Senators Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Clinton of New York slug it out for the nomination, many of their supporters — at least in Pennsylvania, site of the next major primary — aren’t committed to the party’s ticket in November, according to a Franklin & Marshall College Poll.

Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination. Among Clinton supporters, 19 percent said they would support McCain in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee

Poll is here.

While McCain has always been expected to get a fair amount of moderates, independents and some Dems, that number increase as the bloodletting between the two Dems shows no sign of abating. The “Aunt Jerimiah” scandal does not help either, since even though the MSM handmaidens are having orgasms over Barack’s anti-MLK speech, you can bet that good percentage of white voters who have come aboard Obama’s train over the last 6 months will be punching their tickets for the caboose and jump overboard like rats on a ship.
