Meanwhile, Rasmussen says that 45% of African Americans would choose McCain over Clinton. Of course, Obama is not doing well among white voters either (36%).
Oh, the link regarding Rasmussen:

Maybe this can clear some things up.
If we could get this thing decided soon, a lot (though not all)of the Democrats angry enough to say that now will probably be wooed back by November. August will likely be too late. A fight that gets dirty drives voter turnout down, and that hurts Democrats a lot more than Republicans. I know there's some sentiment that "the Republicans will fling mud anyway" but we don't need to do their dirty work for them. Flinging mud ourselves, in addition to causing us to lose votes from where the mud sticks, also drives away voters (like me) who are disgusted by the people willing to shovel it. We need to offset what they're doing by standing together. We can't control what the campaigns themselves decide to do, but we can remember to keep the discourse positive ourselves. All of us need to put the anger and resentment and fears already stirred up aside and spend more time talking about why our preferred candidate is awesome, instead of why the other one stinks.
