Self-destructive behavior (Political post)

[jhetley]

I read and hear reports about diehard Hillary supporters who are going to vote McCain out of spite.  Does this phenomenon actually exist?

Suicide is cheaper, and affects fewer innocents.

I believe that most of the people making those claims are McCain astroturfers, paid or unpaid. There probably are a very few women who'd be stupid enough to do such a thing, but I'd estimate their numbers in the hundreds nationwide. OTOH, having the noise of it in the media certainly benefits McCain, so Occam's Razor suggests that as the most likely source.

I actually do know (online) one woman who fits the "stridenthystericalmanhatingfeministbitch" stereotype to a T... and she wouldn't vote for McCain for head wrangler at the Skonk Works. She's a loon, but not a stupid one!
