Hillary supporters - I have a question for you.

[Hawkeye-X]

What happens if she drops her candidacy if, God forbid, she doesn't win Texas and Ohio - will you be backing the Democratic nominee, Obama?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm seeing a sudden upswing of Hillary supporters who's refusing to even acknowledge Barack Obama.

5. I know - it must drive you crazy

But we have sudden dearth of (new) Hillary supporters on DU saying otherwise - I just needed to know.

I apologize for it - you and I have known each other for a long time!

2. Oh HELL YES, I will! I support our nominee, period.

To do otherwise is unthinkable.

3. In California:

There were signs that both Democratic camps were growing polarized; only half of the voters said they would be satisfied if either candidate became the nominee.

Straight-ticket Dem...

Any of ours are better than any of theirs.

4. it's a non issue because she will be the nominee..

6. Maybe a more important question for both sides is...

If your candidate wins, will you be gracious to the supporters of the other candidate? Some people's feelings are so strong, it can be a tremendous disappointment and it's hard to just jump onboard right away. I think patience, understanding, and NO GLOATING (despite the celebrations) or put-downs would all go a long way.

7. I for one would have no desire to gloat...

I don't want to win for the sake of winning. I honestly think that an Obama nomination would be a disaster for the Democratic party and an Obama presidency would be a disaster for the country. I'm not trying to be snarky, it's just truly the way I feel. If Hillary wins the nomination I will feel relieved, not triumphant.

8. To those who will stay home -- HOW STUPID!!!

It'd be like voting for McCain. GROW UP! I am an Obama supporter, but if Hillary is the nominee, I will vote Democratic. I will not "pick up my toys and go home".

[maddiejoan]

9. Yes

I'll vote for Obama.

Then I'll take a long hot shower to wipe away the feelings of guilt and shame.
