Across the Divide
Categorized under Race for '08 | Tags: Coulter Creature, Dare Not Speak Its Name, Democrats, Iraq, Obama, Republicans
Sure, ultra-conservative Ann Coulter is threatening to campaign for Hillary Clinton if John McCain snags the nomination — "She's more conservative than he is," Coulter recently remarked. But while some young Republicans are supporting the Arizona senator all the same, others in the demographic say they're finding themselves drawn, improbably, to the other Democratic front-runner, Barack Obama. Could this mean that Obama is more capable of pulling moderate Republicans over to his side come November, making him a fiercer Democratic opponent than Clinton? [...]
Their differences, of course, are clear: McCain is a fervent supporter of the war in Iraq, while Obama wants to pull out troops immediately. As a social conservative, McCain would support a constitutional ban on abortion and has flip-flopped on whether or not he supports civil unions for gay couples, while Obama is pro-choice and supports civil unions for homosexuals. Nevertheless, some young conservatives are finding themselves tempted by the Democratic candidate.

Obama's got moxie. :)
I think there's also a shift where moderately conservative doesn't mean moderately bigoted. </radical broad-brush bias>
