Clinton Voter Anguish

Gallup today, only 70% of Clinton voters said they'll back Obama. Other polls echo that number ...

Brownstein: "Clearly a problem there. How worried are you about those voters?"

Marshall said Obama needs to provide those voters with assurances on security issues. More empathy on the economy. Identify struggle of working class families. Frame message for them.

Brownstein: "How important is Hillary Clinton herself in improving that?"

Malcolm: "I think Hillary has been reaching out to them and will continue to do so and I think that's very helpful. And I think a lot of those voters are going to move back when there's a discussion about the issues." When women voters learn of John McCain's anti abortion rights position, they'll move to the Dems.
