Andrew Romano questions the extent of Republican support for Obama:
…are there enough rank-and-file Republicans whispering their support at Obama rallies to actually make a difference on Election Day? As I discovered from examination the last 18 months of head-to-head general election polls, the answer seems to be "no." In fact, John McCain’s share of the Democratic vote has typically–and surprisingly–been larger than Obama’s share of the Republican vote. In other words, it’s not that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scared the Obamacan masses off, as some pundits have theorized–it’s that they never existed (in any unprecedented way) to begin with.
This is why my own favored term is Obamacons: conservatives with an uneasy relationship with the GOP who see in Obama some of the temperamental calm and foreign policy prudence they have missed these past few years.
