Okay, I'm dealing in some pretty broad-stroked stereotypes here.  I admit it.  It's somewhat by necessity, as I'm trying to make a generalization.  But please understand that my intent is not to gloss over subtle complexities of the difference between Volvo drivers of various models and colors.  It's only to reiterate something that (once again) seems pretty obvious to me after looking at primary exit polling.

I'm just trying to compile a list of all the Democrats who I think will not, come November, be sticking to their guns when it comes to voting for McCain rather than for the "other" Democratic candidate who they did not support.

Clinton supporting Catholics - going with Hagee?

Obama supporting African-Americans - going with a candidate who, overall, has been good on race throughout her career (but whose campaign has ventured into the offensive this year), or going with the guy who repeatedly went against MLK Day?

Women - going with the pro-choice male or the pro-life male?

Latte drinkers - well, I never could figure them out anyways. But I'm guessing they're somewhat idealistic opponents of the war, and that they might not align themselves with the hundred more years guy.


Tempers are hot, and hot air is being blown into the exit polls.  But a nice, healing convention (please) and a few months of reflection time should have a distinctive cooling effect.

As hard as it might be for some of us to envision stomaching voting for the Dem we don't support now, I have a really hard time believing that many will actually find a way to stomach voting for McCain when the general election rolls around.
