Please go to The Jerod Report. com to the the entire report. Below is the jest of the report.
My numbers come from a question in the exit poll survey which asks all voters to say who they would vote for in both a McCain-Clinton contest and in a McCain-Obama contests. Based on the answers to those questions, the exit poll data shows Clinton received the following votes in each state (rounded to the nearest 500):
* Pennsylvania: 71,500 (6% of her total)
* Indiana: 83,500 (13% of her total)
* North Carolina: 106,000 (16% of her total)
* West Virginia: 24,500 (10% of her total)
* Kentucky: 61,500 (13% of her total)
* Oregon: 14,500 (4% of her total)
I calculated the votes using the following formula:
[Total number of votes in primary] * [% of voters who say they would support McCain over Clinton] * [% of McCain supporters who voted for Clinton]
In all, Clinton's total of 362,000 votes from McCain supporters easily dwarfed the 120,000 votes Barack Obama received.
What this means is that over the past month alone, John McCain's supporters have helped Hillary Clinton narrow Barack Obama's overall "popular vote" lead by nearly a quarter-million voters.
So, why are Republicans doing this? I think they have two reasons.
1. To keep the campaign going between the two Democratic candidates. The longer they 'Duke' it out the better it will be for McCain.
2. This is the real reason why they are doing this, simply put, they think they will have an easier time beating Clinton! I mean what better way to bring out the base and all of the crazies than to mention, Bill Clinton!
