THe MSM needs to understand that if a Clinton delegate casts their vote for Clinton, that DOES NOT MEAN they are not voting for Obama in the general election. It simply means they are honoring the wishes of their district's constituents, which is perfectly normal to do. If I were a delegate and my district voted 60% to 40% for someone, I'd cast my vote for them, too. But then I'd go right out and begin supporting the nominee, which is what any good delegate would do. No reasonable Democrat is going to vote for John McCain, especially after the eight years we have just lived through.
