Yet there is still the fact that a substantial number of Hillary voters say they will vote McCain if it comes down to Obama v. McCain. Just because Hillary tells them, however energetically, to do otherwise doesn't mean they actually will. In fact, these voters may think exactly what the writer does, and vote for McCain to set up Hillary in 2012.
If, on the other hand, it becomes an Obama/Clinton ticket he is almost guaranteed to get nearly all of the Hillary voters, as a vote for that ticket will instead be a vote to set up Hillary for the White House in 2016. There will be movitation for Clinton Democrats to vote Obama in that case, where there might be motivation for them to vote McCain if the ticket is absent Hillary.
Shallow analysis by the writer. I'm disappointed in the Observer on this one.
