Meet a "Donner Party Democrat" - Video 3/26/08
Here is a local news report in San Francisco where John McCain held a fundraiser on March 26, 2008. The report focuses on a woman who is an Obama supporter, but says she would vote for John McCain if Obama is denied the nomination -- the Democrats' worst nightmare. A recent Gallup Poll showing 28% of Hillary Clinton voters would support McCain if Obama is nominated is also discussed. These voters who would opt for John McCain if their candidate is not nominated are now being called, "Donner Party Democrats." Below is the Wiki explanation of the "Donner Party."
The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the "westering fever" of the 1840s. After becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846–1847, some of the emigrants resorted to cannibalism.
