Clinton Supporters for McCain

Bob Robbins just forwarded a link to Hillary Clinton Forum.net. What is intriguing about this site is that many of the posters are saying that they support McCain. The mainstream media is likely to downplay this phenomenon.

One poster who uses the nom de guerre "Hillary Clinton Rules" writes:

MANY OF US ARE NOW VOTING FOR MAC AND PALIN!!! IT IS WORKING!!!!
Obama and the DNC are going down this November!
the Democratic Party is going to be railroaded on Election Day by it's own party base -- that they disowned!!! LOL
Keep using our posts for reference
The Clintons and the DLC are COMING BACK

Another named "Expat4Hillary" writes:

"They've got my vote in November as well! A war hero and a working mother who each have children in the armed forces deserve my complete respect!"

However, not all agree. A poster named Muzza writes:

"Please only speak for yourself. The forum does not have a collective conscience whereby everyone does the same thing. You are supporting McCain/Palin and that's your choice. Not everyone in here will be doing that."

And someone named joeysky18 adds:

"It probably is the majority opinion, but not all members will vote Republican. Some will vote 3rd party. And some haven't made their decision."

One of the downsides of the World Wide Web is that almost everyone prefers anonymity. We are turning into a nation of academics who feel that they need to remain anonymous (the academic review process is often anonymous).

However, I am gladdened to hear about their choices.
