<<Dems gave McCain the victory and no one expects them to vote GOP in November.>>

This is where you are wrong. It is the moderate/conservative democrats (by default) like myself that gave McCain the victory and I know that I would absolutely vote for him in a presidential race over Al Gore (if he can convince me, that is, that he has no intention of meddling with women's right to choose).

There is a very broad swath of democrats who are only democrats due to a lack of other viable options, imo. I would have to say that in general, democrats are less driven by the kind of "faith" that drives republicans to vote on party lines. Many, if not most, democrats are not free-spending hippie liberals, but middle of the roaders who have a knee jerk reaction to the christian conservatives running the republican party, imho.
