Hey, I'm A Hillary Clinton Supporter That Likes Obama!

[Dinger]

Am I a freak? Am I the only one? Any of you out there besides me?

[thevoiceofreason]

1. And we like you, and Hillary, too.

[LadyVT]

2. There are certainly things I like about his presentation...

Can't say I "like" any of the candidates, because I don't know any of them personally.

[Enrique]

3. I'm with you

I think they're pretty similar and I like them both.

[tishaLA]

4. Hey, I'm an Obama supporter who likes Hillary Clinton

We had a great, great field this year. Biden, Richardson, Edwards, Kucinich...

[Bucky]

21. I'm one too! I think we're the silent majority here

Make that the "non-hysterical majority"

[Kukesa]

34. Count me in on the silent majority, too. n/t

[Captain Hilts]

5. No, 72% of hers like him, 71% of his like her. It's NORMAL, but it's not DU. nt

[Nitrogenica]

6. They're both great.

Let's leave the half-assed smears to the soon-to-be-retreating Republican Party.

Oh and they are going to smear. They are clueless, out of touch with Americans, and don't care that they are.

[mindfulNJ]

7. I'm for Obama but I like Hillary...

Hello from one freak to another!:hi:

[Coexist]

8. I like Obama

I will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.

[BootinUp]

9. Sure

but I'd like him more as second place for the nom. ;)

[PresidentObama]

18. Ditto ;)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

10. Hey, me too! And guess what?

The majority of Dems I know in real life feel the same way! Whether they voted for Obama or Clinton, they like both candidates.

It's true. They really do.

11. Obama supporter who likes Hillary

It gets awfully competitive when it gets down to just the last two standing. Kind of reminds me of how, when our kids were in sports, it was hard not to get into the team rivalries. Like the Smithtown team is somehow evil and must be defeated...when we're all talking about kids...and presumably we were all showing up because we care about....kids. We're here because we believe that getting Democrats elected is better than having Republicans in office. If we disagree as to who is the absolute best one, that shouldn't mean we have to hate the other. But it's human nature, I'm afraid. Hopefully temporary. It'll be better when we get competitive with the real opposition.

[Window]

12. I, too, am an Obama supporter who likes and admire Hillary.

Peace:thumbsup:

[nookiemonster]

13. Obama's my preferred candidate,

but if Clinton gets the nod, she has my vote.

:)

[inremembrance]

14. I'm for the candidate I believe can win the general election

This piece lays out some interesting reasons why the democrats will have their hands full winning in November with Obama...interestng (and upsetting) arguments...for those of us who want a democrat to win

26. Welcome to DU! Let me give you a small tip

Newsmax is a RW source and not a respected source of information.

They're not real popular here or on any Democratic websites.

Nice to have you aboard. :hi:

[butterfly77]

15. I like them both,,,

Michelle motivates more than her husband...

[stray cat]

16. I like them both but wish we could clone the best of each into one candidate

[PresidentObama]

17. I'm a flip-flopping bastard who supported Edwards, with Obama as a second choice. And Im for Hillary

Did you catch that?

;)

[Sparkly]

19. I see pro's and con's to both.

Not strongly favorable or unfavorable about either.

Slight edge to Clinton as a better potential president; slight edge to Obama as a better potential candidate.

[PresidentObama]

23. You've got it about right.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

20. I'm Totally With Ya. I Support Them Both.

[woolldog]

22. nice

:grouphug:

[earthlover]

24. Hillary would make a good VP

I have been slow to come to this conclusion, and I would not say she is necessarily the best choice, but I will say that she would be a good VP.

I don't think she would accept it, but I have been wrong before.

Obama definately has more charisma. Hillary's negatives would not be so bad as a VP, and it would unite the party, as well as being a truly historic ticket.

Given the fact that the entire party would unite behind such a ticket, I think this would be a good ticket.

And, I would not say this if I hated Hillary or was a mysogynist.

[Cogito ergo doleo]

25. Obama supporter who likes Hillary very much.

Either will be a Great president.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

27. Fellow DU'er flying their freak flag here. Neither was my first or second choice, but

both are smart, remarkable people who would bring positivity to the WH.

:toast:

[Rowdyboy]

28. I still haven't chosen between the two but like them both very much....

Thank God the real world isn't DU.

[Marrah_G]

29. I am a Hillary supporter who likes him

However I am not sure I will campaign for him in the GE. DU has left me pretty bitter and disgusted.

He will get my vote of course....but probably not much else.

[RandomKoolzip]

30. DU is a sandbox full of kitty litter. It's not the real world.

Out in the real world you will find many hopeful voters, many people who indeed want fundamental and progressive reform. You'll find people who were profoundly changed by their exposure to the political process this year. You will find people, including many young people, genuinely inspired to work for progress. Those people are not on DU; they have jobs, they go to school, they're hopeful for the first time in their lives - the cynicism of DU has not infected them.

It'd be a shame to let those people down.

And I say this, too, as an Obama supporter who had, and will continue to have, great respect for Clinton and ALL the other candidates this election cycle. I would have gladly cast my vote for ANY of them, especially Clinton, who is an astoundingly intelligent, rational and capable politician.

[Marrah_G]

33. Like I said - the Dem already has my vote

The whole tone here at DU has just soured me towards the entire thing. Perhaps the nastiness will wear off by summer time. But as of right now....I am still disgusted with what I have seen here on DU.

I realize that it is not the real world. But folks... your behavior does have an effect on others. Your behavior here can suck the will out of people and frankly make them cringe at the very mention of your candidates name.

Maybe this will go away after the primaries... but right now you keep pushing and pushing ... soon there will be no going back... all of them will stay on ignore... there will be no civility left.... no working together towards November.

As unfair as it is to the respectful Obama supporters (and I do appreciate you guys so much)..... MY first instictive reaction now is "Go fuck yourself assholes".

I am not alone in feeling that way....don't expect it to change soon.

Sometimes being a asshole can go to far and forgiveness becomes unreachable.

[taught_me_patience]

31. Obama supporter who likes Hillary

many feel this way. :hi:

[IdClaire]

32. me too!

I wish we could have both on the ticket.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

35. I like him too

[watercolors]

36. I feel the same way

if Obama get the presidential nod, my vote will gladly go to him, its been a hard choice!
