Another meaningless poll by gallop. "More 2008 Obama Voters Than McCain Voters Switching Sides"

What in the hell does that mean?

The only purpose I see for a poll like this is to provide moral for the rethugs, which I suspect probably sponsored the poll

The McCain voters are conservatives (you know what that means: cement for brains). Only Obama voters have the ability to change their minds.

All of the genuine markers I've seen over the years tell me that if anything, at least a few former Republicans are switching parties, and I've actually seen Republicans saying in person(well, not literally but you get the point, I hope?), that they'll be voting for Mr. Obama this year.
