Hillary Voters Turn To McCain

Barack Obama in a show of support for his long-time pastor and "spiritual advisor" Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As Obama said of Wright, "I could no more disown him than I could disown by own grandmother." Poor grandma . . .



I'd like to urge you to visit my web site. Today, I have a column discussing the need for McCain and his supporters HillarySupportersforMcCain to reach out to Hillary supporters, many of whom are getting ready to vote for John McCain. As the primary results show, Hillary Clinton is very popular in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Tomorrow, on the Hillary site, I have a column by Jean Avery of Seattle, Washington. She's one of the best political analysts "you've never heard of." She talks about the strengths and weaknesses of the Clinton campaign -- with emphasis on lessons John McCain can learn from the Clinton efforts. http://hillarysupportersformccain.blogspot.com.




As many of you know, I'm deeply involved in a growing national movement to reach out to people who support Sen. Clinton in the presidential primaries -- and get them to vote for John McCain in the general election. As many as 10 million Clinton supporters nationally say they will -- or might -- vote for McCain. If he gets most of those votes, he will win the election.



I'm also asking Pennsylvania and Ohio congressional candidates to take the (admittedly unusual) step of strongly endorsing Sen. McCain and denouncing the disturbing comments Obama made about "bitter" (and backward) Americans.

My view of Sen. Clinton is this: yes, I disagree with her on many (even most) issues. No, I don't regard her as "the Witch of Endor." In Pennsylvania, she impressed many of us -- however reluctant we might have been -- with her personal grit and the ferocity of her campaign. In short, in a street-fight I want her on my side. As for Obama, in said street-fight I want him to hold my coat (and Hillary's). I have an important column up today on my new -- and, to my amazement, popular! -- site: http://hillarysupportersformccain.blogspot.com/ ("Hatchets Hacking Away at Hillary"). Please visit and, if you'd like, let me know your thoughts. You can leave comments on the blog or write me at: TalkTop65@aol.com.
