In a recent interview, Clinton said that it would be a "terrible mistake" for her supporters to choose John McCain over Barack Obama, should he win the Democratic nomination.

If she keeps up saying things such as this, even after/if Obama is named, will this have any effect on the poll numbers for Obama with Hillary supporters? Why or why not?

Thank goodness she has more sense than we've been giving her credit for. I guess the Obama plan to let her go out feeling like a winner may be working after all.

If Clinton is allowed to play this thing out, and an equitable solution to the FL/MI question is reached, and she loses "fair and square," I think that a lot of Clinton supporters that have been leaning McCain over Obama will come to see the light of how grievous an error voting for McCain's continuation of Bush's disastrous policies would really be.
