Anybody but Hillary?

Well, Barack Obama won his sixth, seventh and eighth primaries in a row last night, and he won them in landslides.  He certainly seems to have the momentum, and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.  I just have to wonder, is there a segment of those voters who are supporting him just to block Hillary?  Her negatives have always been a problem - at times over 50% of the population have said they would not vote for her.  Now, those that are Democrats have someone else to vote for with a realistic chance of stopping her.

If that is the case, it may be a bright spot for the Republican candidate.  Once (if) Hillary is stopped that voter bloc will no longer be in play.  And given the high turnout in the Democrat primaries and caucuses, that would be a good thing for the Republican candidate should those people decide it is too much trouble to vote in November.

1 On the other hand, nothing will unite the Republican base more than if Hilary is the Democratic nominee.  If Obama is the nominee, I can see a lot of fence riders in the republican party jumping ship for him, regardless of who the republican candidate is.

I think the worse thing for the republican party will be Obama being the Democratic nominee.
