'Obamacans' a Myth

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. In fact, it's a surprise to me to see that anyone bought into the myth in the first place.

As we speak/type/read, the Obama camp is holding a conference call with reporters to unveil "Republicans for Obama," a branch of its operation designed to show that "Republicans are coming together in support of Senator Obama to bring change to Washington." That claim was verifiable during the early Democratic primaries, when Republicans willing to crossover and vote in the Democratic contests typically backed Obama over Hillary Clinton by overwhelming margins. Which is why Obama began telling his Obamacan tale in the first place.

Hatred for Hillary Clinton (always strong on the Right) does not equal love of Obama. (also remember that the Obama we know now is not the Obama we thought we knew... hah!) In many states, people can vote in whatever primary they want. Voting against the Clintonion Doom Harpy in a primary does not equate a vote for Obama in the general.

If Republicans were asked to choose between Russia and Iran, and they choose Russia, it doesn't mean that Russia is their favorite country.

If 2nd graders have to choose between Vanilla and Chocolate, it doesn't mean that their favorite isn't Caramel Sundae Crunch.

It's elementary.
