McCain isn't going to steal many Hillary supporters away.
Also, because of the electoral college he could get all of the Hillary supporters and it won't do him any good unless they happen to live in swing states. Getting a bunch of people to vote for him in Arkansas or California or New York won't change the outcomes of those states. He is going to win Arkansas and lose Cali and NY no matter what the Hillary supporters do. They could help him win Florida, but realistically Obama doesn't need Florida to win.

It's not the hardcore democrats, they'll vote Obama. It's the women that would normally vote Republican but saw Hillary as an alternative they liked. Many women fell into that category.
Hillary also did well among those same people in blue collar states like Pennsylvania, which are very much in play for this election.
