The Democrat-hating Corporate Media keeps hammering the idea that Democrats are bitterly divided. Today's exit poll show roughly half of Clinton's supporters say they wouldn't vote for Obama in November, while roughly one-third of Obama's supporters say they wouldn't vote for Clinton.
Of course it's an idiotic question to ask voters when emotions are at their highest, and(*)the predictive value of the answers for November are close to nil. November is a lifetime away, and both Clinton and Obama have promised to enthusiastically support the nominee.
But while the Corporate Media falsely divides Democrats, they are ignoring real divisions among Republicans, where roughly 1/4 are voting against their party's nominee, John McCain.

Obviously this is terrible news for McCain, who became the Republican nominee when Mitt Romney dropped out on February 7. McCain has had three months to unite Republicans behind him, but 1/4 of Republicans still don't like him. And the loss of 40% of Republican votes in crucial states like Ohio and Texas could be fatal.
This division only compounds all the other problems McCain has - no money, the hug of death from Bush, nationwide disgust at Republicans (especially among younger voters),(*)devotion to a disastrous war, ignorance about the awful economy, and a growing number of "senior moments."
So what percent of Republicans will vote against McCain in November? It's an easy question to ask in polls - so why won't the Corporate Media ask it?
