Especially if that GOP President is a not committed to running agin John McCain. I also get the feeling that Hillary personally likes John McCain more than she likes Obama.

conspiracy theory #1 is from people who brought us hatfulls of predictions about Hillary Clinton's actions since the campaign started.
And they were always wrong.
She and her husband are working to get Senator Obama elected. Yes, you may think that useless effort since he would win anyway; but it shows that what Hillary wants, strives for, schemes for, CONSPIRES for -
- is the removing of the republican pirates from the ship of state.
2012 can take care of itself.

Obama has rabit supporters and dogs and puppies and goldfish and horsies and all good animals of America; I have heard that McCain has the parrot vote locked tight but it takes all kind to make a zoo.

"The analysts said maybe more than four weeks is needed for many of Clinton's most devoted supporters to move past her loss, especially considering the primary campaign stretched more than 17 months."
Is that really what the analysis indicates? Do I detect a note of wishful thinking by the analysts?

"The analysts said maybe more than four weeks is needed for many of Clinton's most devoted supporters to move past her loss, especially considering the primary campaign stretched more than 17 months."
The real truth is that most ignorant people can't change thier thought processes very quickly. Slow-thinkers need more time to change their thoughts. But don't worry, Obama will have all of the stupid Clinton supporters by November. Then all the world will be a glorious, wonderful place. Gang bangers in the inner cities will lay down the drugs and guns and join the peace corp, blacks and whites will crowd the streets holding hands and singing songs, gas will be $0.10 a gallon. I know this is true because Obama supporters said so.
Well, let's look at the state of the union in Nov. 2009. If Obama is elected, more than likely we will still have the problems we face today, plus a few new ones as a result of Obama being in charge.

Democrats don't take losing lightly. When President Bush beat Gore, and Hanoi John, they went spastic. They have spent nearly 8 years making up mean, hateful things, because they lost. These Democrats that will not support Barak Hussein Obama do not believe he won legitimatly, and they think he mistreated Hillary, and they are not going to be shoved into voting for someone they do not like. It is their vote, they cannot be coerced into voting the way Democrats want them to. It isn't a couple votes, it is 22% of the Democrat electorate.

It would seem that the party of unity and inclusive change for all Americans has some difficult political schisms to try to mend.
Good luck.

When one considers that much of Hillary's campaign in essense said that McCain is ready, she's ready, but Obama is not ready, why would anyone be surprised that many Hillary backers would support McCain? My ex mother-in-law thinks Bill Clinton walks on water and that George W. Bush is a waste of flesh, but she will be voting for McCain because she believes what Hillary, Biden, et al. said and implied during the campaign - that Obama is not ready. I know a lot of older, vote-every-election, Democrats who say the same thing.

JoseMadre, I dunno. Obama has moved right on so many issues, he may capture back some of the votes he lost early on. He is seriously courting the religious right, and that's a group that was key in giving Bush enough votes to become president, and some of them are very easy to manipulate with emotional appeal, as Karl Rove would attest.

Catholics are the key, not Evangelicals, who roughly split the same way each election, with those predisposed to the moral side supporting th GOP and those predisposed to the social justice side supporting Democrats.

We just returned from a 2 week vacation where we visited a number of relatives on the east coast - every single one of them a lifelong Democrat and Hillary supporters
I was surprised at the anger and bitterness they expressed at the Democratic party
My brother summed it up for many of them: he has always voted straight Democratic party - whether he knew anything about the Democrats running or not
This will be the first time in his life that he won't be voting Democrat.
They see Obama as stealing the nomination with the help of the party elites. They no longer see the Democratic party as the party of the "working man" as one cousin told me
I can't even post much of what they said. I have never heard such comments come out of the mouths of many of them
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens

It is one thing to move to the right for a liberal Democrat, but to look like you are running for President Bush's 3rd term does the Democrat no good. Americans will vote for the real center right candidate rather then the very, very liberal. Obama's voting record proves his real Liberal approach to all issues no matter what he is saying now.
