Check out Former Obama Supporters. There are quite a few Clinton people and disenchanted Obama supporters there. Here are a couple YouTube’s the site touts:

Of course, anyone can have a nice internet presence or put together a YouTube video. How big are the Hillary Supporters not planning to vote for Obama? Will they be able to topple Obama in Denver? That’s doubtful if she doesn’t unsuspend, possible if she does. Also, how many would vote for McCain? Really hard to engage this soon after the clinch. The ball is in McCain’s court:

Baseball Crank has an interesting piece where he sums up McCain’s path, really his only path to victory:

At the same time, McCain’s opponent is not Generic D but rather a left-wing extremist with no experience, horrible, tried-and-proven-failure ideas and terrible judgment in friends, supporters and staff. That ought to frighten moderates and conservatives alike when they contemplate giving him the car keys. McCain’s path to victory, then, is in collecting the people who like him, the people who respect him, and the people who can force themselves to tolerate him, and persuading them that an Obama presidency would be a disaster for the nation.

But McCain can only do that consistently and effectively if he, himself, believes that Obama would be a disaster for the nation.

I haven’t seen much proof of that, yet.

Here’s the situation: It’s hard to imagine any Democratic Nominee as tight with a Republican nominee in a year like this one as Obama is with McCain. Also, given Obama’s history of gaffes and extremist views on the issues, it’s hard to imagine any Republican not overcoming those gaffes to bring about a crisis in the Obama campaign, but McCain hasn’t. The question is: which nominee will overcome their failure to perform? That will determine the election.
