I disagree. Most Hillary supporters are liberals, through and through.
Hillary had a huge amount of support from liberal union members. Union
members tend to vote Democrat. We know that some people supported
Hillary only because she has a uterus. Those who supported Hillary only
because she has a uterus are a mix of moderate Republicans and
independents. Some of those people will vote for McCain, a few will stay
home on election day, and the others will vote third party. The majority
of Hillary's supporters will vote for Obama because they support
Hillary's campaign platform and they oppose everything McCain/Bush stand
for.

Keep in mind that the reason Obama and Hillary came up so close in many
states' primaries is because their platforms are nearly identical. The
close similarity between their platforms made it difficult for me to
decide who to vote for in New Jersey's primary. I ended up voting for
Obama, but I have enormous respect for Hillary.
