As usual, Patrick Buchanan's analysis is spot on. As a lifelong Democrat and a die-hard Senator Clinton supporter, I thought hell would freeze over before I could vote for a Republican. Well, grab your coats because it's about to get real cold! I promise that if Hillary Clinton is not the Democratic nominee, I will vote (and possibly campaign) for Senator John McCain. I am not a racist (as Obamabots like to claim) and I am neither white, working class, Hispanic, or uneducated. I do not fit into the neat box that the media has classified as Hillary supporters. I'm a highly educated, highly compensated, Asian American female that is angry about the extreme left wing's destruction of the Democratic party I once loved so fervently. The best way to describe "Hillocrats" are as Moderates. There is definitely a deep divide between the Democratic party between the McGovern losers on the left and the Clinton legacy in the center. The majority in this great country are moderates - not left wing liberals or right wing conservatives. What Senator Obama and his supporters don't understand is that Clinton supporters are really angry and we WILL vote for John McCain because he is experienced, qualified, patriotic, decent, and a moderate. We (the Democratic Center) will NEVER vote for Obama because he lacks not only the experience to be president, but also the judgment and character. We will not vote for someone with such despicable associations to racists and terrorists. We will never forgive him for playing the race card and accusing the Clintons (who have spent a lifetime fighting for civil rights) of being racists. If the Republican Party and John McCain want to win this November, they need to move their party to the center. They can win our votes. Just show Senator Clinton and her supporters the respect that Obama, the Democratic Elite and the misogynistic Obama press core never showed to us.

Mia, your post on Patrick Buchanan's analysis was right on. I do not fit into the mold of being a senior citizen, but I have family whom live in Ohio and support their view of Hillary Clinton in that she has more experience and better judgment to be President compared to Barack Obama. The fact that Barack Obama had the BAD JUDGMENT to continue attending a black-centric, divisive, racist, and hate-mongering toward whites church for TWENTY YEARS while submitting his wife and children to the same message shows the kind of bad jugement Hillocrats (or Reagan Democrats) fear. As much as I dislike John McCain and his support for Iraq, I am willing to support him and vote him if Barack Obama in fact wins the Democratic nomination without having a re-vote in Michigan and counting the Florida votes. The fact that Super Delegates are willing to engage in backroom deals to give Barack Obama this nomination by disenfranching to the voters from both Michigan and Ohio is enough for me to vote for Senator John McCain. The Super Delegates, Democratic leadership, and Howard Dean should be very worried about this fact and those Super Delegates whom support Barack Obama while their constituency supports Hillary Clinton should be fearful as well. Hillary Democrats are angry and very well may vote against them the next time they are up for reelection by blatantly ignoring their constituency.

Mr. Buchanan has once again taken a grain of truth and made a mountain of it. The truth is that there are a large block of "reagan democrats" that vote based on their misguided reading of values in candidates. But that is NOT a good thing to be encouraged-in fact, that mind set has produced 4 terrible presidents--( Nixon, Carter, Clinton and George W) and caused this country to follow a Neo-Con philiosophy set into terrible policies that have wreaked havoc on our image, our economy and our future as a country. For both John McCain and Barack Obama to eschew the Lee Atwater/Karl Rove politics of personal destruction approach and choose instead to present the country with policy and philosophical differences as men and candidates who are Americans first and Partisans to their party second is refreshing and what this country needs to move forward. And if the Reagan Democrats or Conservative Republicans continue to attempt to use the Republican Right's destructive play book, they will join the KKK, Nazi Party and the Communist party in the ash bin of history as just another set of hate groups bent on making America fall to it's worst attributes rather than rising to it's better self.
