******** Check in if you like both Hillary and Barack*********

[CalebHayes]

We need to make peace so we can take back the white house. I'm not ready for McCain.

[melody]

1. I think that's the majority of us -- the real majority, not the posters n/t

[Captain Hilts]

2. DU is NOT representative of Dem voters at all. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

3. Oh yeah.

I could live with my second choice, easy.

[Nitrogenica]

4. A "President McCain" would definately suck.

[SKKY]

53. It wouldn't just suck. It would suckity suck suck.

[MadBadger]

5. I dont like her. I'll vote for her though.

[LiberalAndProud]

6. checking in

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. I trash Hillary all the time and I still like her

I hate the way she campaigns though.

[wndycty]

8. Yes love them both as well as their spouses. . .

. . .but I'm upset with one of the couples right now. I'm sure I will forgive them because I truly do love them.

[Taverner]

I'm there brotha!

We have some AWESOME candidates - either Hillary or Obama.

We can't lose. That is, unless we stay home and McCain becomes President.

Then we ALL lose.

[Skittles]

9. I would say one is not better than the other, absolutely

I am so tired of hearing DUers bickering about "my candidate" and "your candidate" - do they not realize that Obama and Clinton are BOTH OUR CANDIDATES? The goal is to BEAT THE REPUKES, NOT EACH OTHER.

[Ishoutandscream2]

22. Excellent post. Common sense doesn't seem to rule around here

Your post was a breath of fresh air.

[Skittles]

32. thank you

it has just been unbelievable watching DUers go at it like a bunch of hyenas - they sound like FREEPERS. :o

[Tom Rinaldo]

38. You can put me in this group

During the campaign I've watched at times while each of them has distorted the truth to their own advantage, and I wince when my candidate does it and get pissed when the other one does it, but I know that Presidential politics is very much a contact sport. I made my choice between them but that doesn't mean that I don't like both of them.

[islandmkl]

10. we're like the crazy aunts and uncles....

but we make family get-togethers fun...

[Cosmocat]

11. Hill is really ...

starting to push my limits ... With each passing day her campaign devolves more and more into a republican style campaign, 51%ing, attacking, spinning some innane BS, the delegates stuff ...

I will back her if she is the candidate, but ...

[cbayer]

12. Tavis Smiley replayed interviews with both of them last night

and it broke my heart to know that one of them will lose. They are both strong and smart. We are really very lucky.

[Skittles]

33. ooh I love Tavis Smiley

he really is a classy interviewer :thumbsup:

[cbayer]

34. He really brings out the best in "folk".

And both candidates appeared wonderfully human and thoughtful. It was so nice to see a little quiet conversation with each of them. All this noise makes it really hard to hear them sometimes.

[Extend a Hand]

35. yes, that's how I feel too

[bunkerbuster1]

13. Yep, either's fine for me.

[uppityperson]

14. Hiya. Nice to see a decent post. I'll go with either and noway McCain.

[seasat]

15. I like either one.

It was a hard choice between the two but I ended up voting for Obama in our primary. Hillary has a slight edge in domestic policy but I like Obama's foreign policy better. However, I'll gladly support and vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination.

IMHO, a lot of the behind the scenes stuff in this campaign is a power struggle between two groups in our party. It's not as much about ideology as is it is about whose in charge. It's come down to the Clintons and their allies versus a coalition of various groups from the rest of the party.

[Patsy Stone]

16. Here

I will vote for the Democrat, who will be light years better than McCain, no matter what.

[snacker]

17. Count me in! n/t

[calimary]

18. Here!

I'm ready, willing, and eager to vote for either of them in the general. Either one of them is INFINITELY preferable to what the bad guys are serving.

[ecstatic]

19. OK. I was in this boat just a few days ago... but

Clinton's camp really hurt me with their actions the other day. I was personally offended by what they tried to do to Obama with the Deval Patrick thing. I'm less angry today but it might take some time for me to put my unity sig back on.

[Meshuga]

20. I will support the democratic nominee

Without a problem. I would prefer Obama but I will take Hillary if she ends up winning the nomination.

[Blue_In_AK]

21. I find both of them tolerable,

neither is my preference, but they're both way better than McCain. I'll be voting for the nominee.

[Teaser]

23. I like him. She's fine.

.

[Guava Jelly]

24. I have my favorite

But I like both. :D

[Occam Bandage]

25. Her recent campaigning doesn't sit right with me, but overall HRC is all right by me.

[Mike Nelson]

26. Either is fine with me

McCain is not

[VolcanoJen]

27. Me Me Me Me Me

Love Barry, Love Hill.

I'm with Barack this time, but I still love me some Hill!!!

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

28. I'm here. n/t

[IsItJustMe]

29. Straight up.

[tritsofme]

30. I'm from IL and have liked Obama for awhile, however I've found his candidacy considerably less

appealing once I met some of his more vocal supporters at DU.

[eissa]

31. Abso-freakin-lutely

The only "bad" thing about this race is that we have TWO amazing people to choose from. Of course I have my preference, and feel very strongly about his candidacy. But without question I will fall in line behind our nominee and work hard to make sure we take back the WH and restore some sanity back into our government.

[Orangepeel]

36. I like both and I'll happily vote for either in the general.

Although I voted for Obama and I'd prefer an Obama win.

[annabanana]

37. I WILL be voting for wither Hillary or Barak. No question.

And I will be thinking of SCOTUS and all the so-called regulatory agencies while I do it.

[localroger]

39. Affirm

I have my gripes with both candidates, and while I currently favor Obama and I'm not too happy with some of the Clinton campaign's recent moves, I will wholeheartedly support her in the general if she gets the nom. As would any sane person.

[rosesaylavee]

40. Voting DEM in November. Check. n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

41. I'm in.

[Bicoastal]

42. If I like both, but I currently can't STAND one of their campaigns...

...you can draw your own conclusions.

[applegrove]

43. When they do polls the people both like Hillary and Obama. I wish

for my own peace of mind this will be resolved soon - but I doubt it. It is good it is a tough race. Obama needs that experience and Hillary needs to practice her toughness.

[angie_love]

44. I can't lie I have my beef with Hillarys campaign, but I've said before

that I did like her (voted for her twice for senate), I just can't stand some of her supporters saying "I will not vote for Obama if hes the nominee". So it makes me want to say the same thing back to them. But I will probably vote for her in the GE.

[nookiemonster]

45. Damn skippy.

:thumbsup:

eom

[ZombieHorde]

46. Here!

Both of them are comprised of succulent flesh.

[David Zephyr]

47. I like them both. I want them on our ticket together. It will be America's ticket.

:thumbusp:

[LeftishBrit]

52. That would be great IMO!

[creeksneakers2]

48. They both are fantastic candidates

After the last debate supporters from both sides were marveling out how good both candidates were. They respected each other. There even was talk at the end of the debate about having them both on a ticket. I'm a Hillary fan but if she bows out I'll be 100% Obama from that instant on.

[OneBlueSky]

49. sorry, but I don't like either . . .

oh, I'll probably vote for the Democratic nominee, if only because s/he will nominate marginally better candidates to the Supreme Court than the Republicans . . .

but couldn't we have done better than two corporate centrists as our final candidates? . . . neither is a sure winner over McCain, simply because the Republicans will once again be tabulating the electronic votes . . . and the election will be close enough that they can pull it off . . . but someone like Al Gore could have won with such a landslide that rigging the election would be extremely difficult, if not impossible . . .

the Democrats have again dropped the ball . . . just like they dropped the ball on the war, on healthcare, on election reform, on tax cuts for millionaires, and on virtually every other substantive issue facing our nation today . . . the notion that electing either Clinton or Obama will result in substantive change from the way things are now is laughable, and the ONLY reason I will likely vote for one of them is the Supreme Court . . .

[RevCheesehead]

50. That would be me.

:hi:

[LeftishBrit]

51. Speaking as a foreigner, I like EITHER of them much better than McCain!!!

Another Republican would be a danger to the whole world.

[Eurobabe]

54. I actually do kind of feel sorry for Hillary after hearing her speech

from last night. She sounds defeated and tired.

But the people have spoken.

We need to DESTROY the CONS in November. :grouphug:

[zippy890]

55. each would make a fine president I could support

:dem:

[EmilyAnne]

56. I like them both. I prefer Barack, and lately I've been shaking my head at Hillary. I don't think

its her fault. I think she is receiving terrible advice and the people in her campaign didn't plan on having to work so hard. They thought she was a shoe-in and they were caught with their pants down. It makes me sad to see her slipping up so badly. For a few years I've thought of her as our next president. If she doesn't pull out of this slump, I hope there is room for her in Barack's presidency, but it seems things have turned irreversibly sour. That's a waste of a tremendous resource, in my opinion.

[leftynyc]

57. Count me in

I wish more people realized how incredibly lucky we are to have two fine candidates to pick from. The thought of another chimp term (which is all McCain would be) makes my blood run cold.
