Why I now support Senator Barack Obama....
Our party needs to unite against John McCain in November!

Senator Clinton was my candidate. I wanted her as our President. But it's impossible for her to logically win the nomination. While I would have rather had her as the nominee, I'm realistic. And I can see the writing on the wall.

Barack Obama's time is now.

He's capable, fills people with hope and inspiration, understanding, charismatic, trustworthy, an incredible speaker, and very Presidential.

It's time to come together against John McCain, and stop battling each other.

....Obama/Clinton 2008!

Unite, and kick some ass. Shall we?

7. We can't unite until Hillary ends her campaign....... she won't let the unity occur.....

How can we begin to unite while Hillary is still battling Obama and trying to knock him down?


Obama HAS to keep battling as long as Hillary is. He'll be gracious in victory - but that can't happen until she concedes defeat.

...just campaigning for Senator Obama.

23. I think Hillary would be great in any role personally out of VP
I think she'd be good in the Senate as Majority Leader or as New York Governor.

25. I think you are correct. Hillary may not be the nominee, but she'll still play a great role.
This isn't the last we've seen of Senator Clinton.

28. I actually think as VP or not, she's going to be one of the attack dogs on the trail for Barack.
And with the GOP slime machine ready to throw the kitchen sink, he'll need the help!

33. I'd like to have Wolfson on the Obama team
only because he has the ability to make these incredible spins. Definitely not have Mark Penn on the campaign.

29. That is so incredibly cool!
Thanks for actually sharing your support for the candidates over this primary season. Despite being snippy and snarky sometimes, I really respect you.

Unite we must. Let's aim the cannons at the McCain't Castle of Fear.

31. I might even agree with you, but I have to ask you one thing...
... Why did you choose "Kerry2008". I'm having a hard time with that one

It's probably me...

43. It's you,
She was/is, a fellow member with me in the John Kerry Forum, and is a "Kerrycrat" We really do still love the man who should have been President. So much so that she included him in her "handle"! She'll be a great fighter for Barack!! GOBAMA!!!

32. You do realize that most people either didn't read
or are ignoring what you said in your post, don't you?

They never got past the part where you said you were endorsing Obama.

I am totally with you on the unity ticket. And I don't have a strong preference as to who has which position.

That's for the two of them to work out.

37. Me too. I'm for a unity ticket as well.
Most here who are reasonable are. We do want a Dem in the White House, don't we?

Sometimes I wonder...

38. Have you moved away from insisting that Hillary is at the TOP of that ticket?

...because that's a non-starter.

42. There are a lot more than we know.
We get beat up by supporters on both sides when we admit it, though.

So I think we don't talk about it all that often.

48. I think most Democrats would. Take the top two candidates of this long vetting process, and....
...kick some McCain ass!

We'll make history.

First black President. And first woman Vice President.
