If It's Any Consolation, Hillary Would Have Also Crushed McCain

Yeah, all those PUMA votes that never materialized for McCain would have stayed with her, or something like that. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to know this news.

As voters left the polls on Election Day, many were asked how they would have voted if the election match-up were between Hillary Clinton and John McCain rather than Barack Obama and McCain. 52 percent said they would have backed the former Democratic candidate; 41 percent would have voted for McCain, wider than Obama’s 7-point margin over McCain.

Interestingly, 16 percent of McCain voters said they would have voted for Clinton, the Democrat, if she had been her party’s nominee.

I guess there might have been even more mythical McCain advisers trashing Palin and bamboozling reporters.
