According to new polling data from Gallup, “Among people who identified themselves as Hillary Clinton supporters, 28 percent said they would vote for McCain if Obama is his opponent, the March 7-22 Gallup Poll Daily election tracking survey found. The same poll found that 19 percent of Obama supporters would switch sides and cast ballots for McCain if Clinton is the Democratic candidate.”

It is clear that both candidates are slowly bleeding the Democratic party of both moral and finances. The DNC, which was set to trample the RNC last year is now also torn apart by the parties infighting. This also comes on the news that Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid has said DNC superdelegates are working towards a solution to end the party divide. What this back door deal will look like, no one but insiders can be sure. However, if we can value his word then it appears that the Democratic party is not going to allow the race to be resolved through traditional democratic principles or via the popular vote. Many Democrats have already claimed that such backdoor dealing will anger them and possibly drive them away from the nominee if their candidate is not the beneficiary of such compromise. In any case, the Democrats seem to have driven themselves into a dreadful situation.
