after the last 8 years of SHIT this repuke administration, I would vote for my dog if it were the DEMOCRATIC candidate just so we can put an end to this nightmare

15. I'd like to know exactly which ones here won't vote for the democratic
nominee. Those are the only people I ignore - the ones who will vote republican or Nader. So far I haven't ignored anybody who says they'll stay home. I just consider voting for another party taboo, is all.

And I'm not putting you in that category at all, ruggerson. I know you're a great dem.

2. Not ALL Hillary supporters --
and for those will, we just have to accept it and move on to ensure that Obama gets the OVERWHELMING number of votes he needs in November.

That's all we can do.

3. Anyone who doesn't support the Democratic candidate
is either stupid or Republican. Oops, that's a redundancy.

9. Me neither............
What the "new wave of outrage" is saying is that they will not cast a vote for President in 08 if Obama is the nominee. ....I'm just a messenger here..........so, they, the disgruntled Clinton supporters, they have been harassed, taunted, bullied called racist, bigots, republicans and the race baiting from the Obama campaign didn't help either.......so, Obama has lost 1/3 of the voting base of Democrats.

He can't win without them. He needs to at least have Hillary on the ticket to win.

6. If the choice was between a republican
or a dead skunk, I'd vote for the skunk.

7. Nation first, Party second
I will vote for the candidate best prepared to lead the United States during this tenuous time in our history. The name calling only strengthens my resolve to do what I have to do.

8. Well this week it's because she is a victim of sexism from the DNC and media. I believe
last week it was because Obama is not a "hard-working white American". Before that Florida and Michigan voters were disenfranchised. And something about caucuses not counting. I think I've lost track of all the excuses, but yeah, that's the gist of it.

11. well..
So Hillary voters will refuse to vote for the DEMOCRATIC candidate because she won't be it?



Honestly dunno. I do know there are fairly large numbers of Hillary supporters who say they won't vote for Obama regardless. Whether these statements truly translate into actions (or the lack there of) is yet to be seen.

Look.. I'm voting for Obama and will do what I can as long as I can, but I have a rather dim view of The Democrat's chances come the GE. I don't like drinking my own Kool-aid, and know enough that given the last several years events, our party should be ahead of ANY Republican candidate by leaps and bounds. But guess what.. we aren't. And sadly enough, once again we are doing it to ourselves. Grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. And it's not a "it's Hillary's fault" problem either.

I assume this post won't make me very popular, but sometimes the truth hurts.

14. And
The ones who will be sticking around need to save the presumed nominee from damage you yourself would rather not see, or you yourself 'had and have' no intention of staying with the Democratic party as well.
