Poll: 1 in 5 Dems Would Vote for McCain if Their Choice Loses Nomination....

How fun is it watching the Democrats tear themselves apart?....

(CNSNews.com) - 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.

The significant number of potential defectors underscores how divisive the Democratic primary has been.

Like I said, he may not have been my choice, but McCain may be the one out of all the Reps who ran to keep the White House out of the maniacs hands for this round.

In the short run that is good, but it says something else in the long run. If the tide of public sentiment continues to move Left, which it is largely thanks to the increasingly partisan Main stream media, what happens in 2012? Hmmm...

Conservatives have a few years to get it together and make a good case for themselves. What are the chances this will happen?
