Well, there is another story out there that the MSM refuses to address.  A huge 
story.  One that could, and I think will, significantly affect the outcome of 
this race.  I'm referring to the widespread phenomenon of registered Democrats 
openly supporting John McCain.  There are numerous "Democrats for McCain" type 
organizations.  There are numerous websites and blogs written by Democrats 
touting McCain's candidacy.  There are pro-McCain grassroots efforts being led 
by Democrats.  And we all know friends or relatives who are Democrats, who 
voted for John Kerry in 2004, and who are no fans of President Bush - but who 
are going to vote for John McCain this year.

Yet, surprise surprise, the mainstream media is not talking about these voters, 
not talking about the real rift that is occurring within the ranks of the 
Democratic Party.  Needless to say, if a similar rift were occurring in the 
Republican Party, it would be treated as the major story that it is.   (Indeed, 
as such stories about the political fault lines in the Republican Party have 
been treated in the recent past.)

Who are these pro-McCain Democratic voters?  They overwhelmingly tend to be 
former Hillary supporters.  Perhaps the most well-known of these voters are the 
"PUMAs" - which stands for Party Unity My Ass.  These are Hillary supporters 
who are adamantly opposed to Obama.  Let's not forget that during the 
Democratic primaries - real elections, not polls - Hillary crushed Obama among 
white working-class and middle-class voters in such key states as Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.  If a meaningful number of these voters end up 
voting for McCain, as I predict  they will, then Obama's smooth road to the 
White House is going to run smack into a brick wall.
