“I think those of us who voted for McCain are going to be a lot happier with Obama than the people who voted for him,” Valerie Schlink, 46, a Republican from Valparaiso, Ind., said in an interview after participating in the poll. “A lot of the things he said he would do, like pulling out the troops in 16 months and giving tax cuts to those who make under $200,000, I think he now sees are going to be a lot tougher than he thought and that the proper thing to do is stay more towards the middle and ease our way into whatever has to be done.
“It can’t all be accomplished immediately.”
My gut feeling is that John McCain would have immediately moved to the left upon winning election and would have been more than just a minor disappointment to his voters. At this point it's probably better to have Democrats disappointed than Republicans.
