But, will they follow him?
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 09:36AM Evidentially Hillary's "concession" speech on Saturday didn't persuade all of her supporters to jump on the Obamawagon
My law school friend and music mogul Randy came across this pro-hillary website www.justsaynodeal.com, which claims to be millions strong in their desire not to see a dream-team ticket.
Who knows if this is legit or just the handy-work of some McCain prankster, but it will be interesting to see if Obama can bring a majority of the Hillary supporters into the fold.
Around a quarter of all Hillary voters have consistently maintained that they would note vote for Obama. Over the next few months, leading up to the convention, that number is sure to go down. The real question will be by how much. If McCain keeps that number around 20 percent, he'll win. If Obama gets it down to 10 percent, he'll win. Any questions?

Don't forget Bob Barr. Remember Ross Perot. it will be interesting to see how the opposing media interests promote or ignore his candidacy. I can tell you from living in the south for 16 years that Barr could make it interesting if the "traditional" media decide to give him a platform.
It really depends if Ron Paul gets behind Barr's candidacy. If he doesn't, I don't think Barr will make any impact. Plus, he's only going to be in a dozen or so states. I think Ralph Nader can still have more of an impact than Barr, but neither will be a difference maker.
Interesting point, but I think Ron Paul is seen as a loser...already marginalized. Bob Barr is a "fresher" new entry and quite frankly a better media presence (and much more media savvy than Ron Paul. If the (liberal) media decide to provide a bit more coverage on Bob Barr as a foil to McCain, he may make a few more converts.
