There is an interesting item regarding the differences between Hillary and Obama and it's the pew report. Part of it states that: A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in a general election test against Obama. The "defection" rate among Obama's supporters if Clinton wins the nomination is far lower; just 10% say they would vote for McCain in November, while 86% say they would back Clinton.
Where it also breaks down the groups with this issue and the groups that vote for each candidate. Saw it on CNN the other night and it's interesting reading, and could be one of the notions why it would be inappropriate at this point for Hillary to step down especially when it's obvious by the latest election that there are a substantial number of people that want Hillary to continue.
