I was posting on IHUB at the time and one of the very liberal posters went full Sarah Palin fan when Obama got the nomination, and she wasn't the only one... Obviously this wasn't a huge percentage of Dem voters, but still mindbogglingly surprising that some voters will vote out of spite, or not vote at all, like a certain percentage of die-hard Bernie's did

PRINCETON, NJ -- A sizable proportion of Democrats would vote for John McCain next November if he is matched against the candidate they do not support for the Democratic nomination. This is particularly true for Hillary Clinton supporters, more than a quarter of whom currently say they would vote for McCain if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee.

....This suggests that some Clinton supporters are so strongly opposed to Obama (or so loyal to Clinton) that they would go so far as to vote for the "other" party's candidate next November if Obama is the Democratic nominee.
