At some point, everybody is going to have to put their swords down here.
I was not Anti-Edwards, Clinton, Gravel, and Obama because I was for Kucinich, Dodd, Biden, and Richardson.

When the field narrowed, I was not anti-Clinton, Obama, and Gravel because I was for Edwards.

I am not anti-Clinton because I'm for Obama.

I choose basically on my observations and views and internal feelings when choosing my candidate. I do not start the process in the negative. I'm looking to vote FOR someone.

The question is, how deep do you all want the wounds to be?

1. I want a sword
I was at the Rainforest Cafe (don't ask) and the balloon animal making guy made me a sword but it popped on the way home.

A little more than could be treated by band-aid but not all the way to the bone.

4. It's going to be hard
for those who have worked them up into a serious disliking for the other candidate. My problem has been with some of Obama's supporters, but that hasn't affected my view of Obama. And whatever reservations I have about Obama I can easily put aside to vote for him if he becomes our nominee.

6. Um...well, good luck with that.
I can't believe 2004 was as bad as it is now. I'm seeing some nasty stuff around here. That will be difficult to resolve.

7. How deep do we want the wounds? it depends on who is wounded and who is wounding.

I would rather vote for Obama as a 3rd party candidate than vote for Hillary as a Dem if Super Delegates decide this.

If Super delegates step in and overturn an Obama win in favor of Clinton then all bets are off.

At that point the swords are put down and the rifles are picked up and loaded.


If either Clinton or Obama win the majority of pledged delegates and also then win they nomination then the war is off. Swords can be beaten into plow shears and peace will rule the party.
