I am not an Obama supporter - I am not enthusiastic about either candidate. I can't imagine anything that will change that in the near future. Of course, I will work for whoever is nominated, as I always do.

Not sure what people mean by "support." If that means "love them with a love bordering on worship" or "promote them as celebrities and personalities" or "represent them as though I were their personal agent" then I won't be doing any of that. I will get them a lot of votes, even if I don't like them at all, and being honest with voters about their shortcomings and my reservations about them makes people more likely to listen to me and be persuaded to vote against the Republicans, not less. That is my idea of "support" - getting results.

This other sort of support people are always calling for and challenging each other about seems pretty silly and useless to me.
