Spite Convention


The convention is literally right around the corner. There is a structural flaw in that the Clinton supporters don't seem to be willing to go along with the Obama program.

This is so Democratic Party. Some Clinton supporters claim they will vote for McCain. Nice. Cut off your nose to spite your face, works for me, especially when I was 4 years old.

FT.com: Poll fears ahead of Democratic convention
A successful presidential convention can give the nominee a five- to 10- percentage point bounce in opinion polls. But as Barack Obama and running mate Joe Biden chart their course across the swing states of the mid-west towards Denver on Wednesday, a large chunk of media attention will be eaten up by Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Many of Mrs Clinton’s supporters, roughly a quarter of whom say they plan to vote for Mr McCain, will be out in force in Denver continuing to argue that the former first lady would have been the better nominee. Among the most vocal is Party Unity My Ass, a pro-Hillary groups whose website trails the catchphrase “We are the ones no one was expecting” – a mocking reference to Mr Obama’s line: “We are the ones we have been waiting for”.
