How will Hillary supporters justify voting for Mccain when Hillary has endorsed Obama?

[galaxy21]

Surely, if your such a devoted supporter, you'd vote for the person she asked you to?

[anonymous171]

1. Remember, they are "supporters" not supporters.

[Skink]

2. The Reagan democrats you mean.

[Oceansaway]

3. better known as 'ditto-heads'...n/t...

[VeraAgnes]

4. I think it will be a protest vote and an exercise

of 'free will". That's my view on their potential actions....

9. Protest votes in presidential elections don't work.

They can work on the local level, but not nationally. And, still, how to defend it when Hillary Clinton, herself, speaks out against such protest votes?

[VeraAgnes]

12. I didn't say it had any power....and it does not.

I'm just trying to "understand" their feelings and read into their actions. I believe that they will actually do it too.:scared: I see no surrender or opening for negotiation.

[EmilyAnne]

15. I see! Sorry if I came off as brash. I hope do so hope you are wrong about them actually doing it.

Its scary.

[VeraAgnes]

20. Hello

:hi: :pals: O8)

[Beacool]

10. Yep........

That's exactly what a lot of people have promised to do.

[EmilyAnne]

16. I really hope that you won't do that, Bea.

23. I have repeatedly said that I wouldn't vote for him

unless he asks Hillary to be his VP. I don't know whether she wants it or not, but since each has won 50% of the Democratic vote, she should at least be asked. I would have said the same if Hillary had been the one on top of the ticket.

5. they'll cool down by November and vote smart

[VeraAgnes]

13. I would not bet any money on that breathe of hope.

It worked for Kerry but I don't see history repeating itself this time. It's a DIVORCE! Irreconcilable Differences.

6. I've heard them say that McCain can't really do THAT much damage. He won't REALLY

appoint judges that could chip away at women's and gay rights. He won't REALLY be able to wage any new wars all on his own. They are calling such concerns scare tactics. To them, I say that if the president really doesn't have all that much power, what's the point in even voting for anyone?

It reminds me of the moment when my parents finally admitted that George W is a disaster. They immediately had to add, "but they're ALL bad. The Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans." If they're guy goes down, well, everyone else has to go down, too. Like kids breaking their own toys because they don't want anyone else to play with them...that sort of thing.

25. Remember "Gore is the same as Bush"

Same logic here.

[Cleita]

7. Anybody who says they will vote for McCain is voting for

more deaths in the wars started by Bush and for more right wing wacko judges appointed to the Supreme Court. Anyone even thinking of voting for McCain instead of Obama should be tarred and feathered. IMHO.

8. After she's praised McCain all this time...

I doubt it will be that difficult.

14. Are you calling out a DU member?

Please reconsider your actions as I want Unity here at DU.:grouphug:

[EmilyAnne]

17. Me too, Vera!

[Danger Mouse]

18. Because they don't care what Hillary thinks.

Only their ego matters.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. How does your post help anything?

[rock]

21. Nobody tells me who to vote for

By the way, it won't be McCain.

[uberblonde]

22. How about a nice big cup of STFU?

Seriously, you think these little digs help your candidate - who needs Clinton's votes?

[dcindian]

24. Maybe the thousands upon thousands killed in Iraq are not enough for them?

They all probably think there should be a 100 year war in Iraq.

[damntexdem]

26. And if Obama has a female running mate?

[Mushroom]

27. The Obama supporters

need to "justify" campaigning for McCain by refusing to embrace Obama's dem party message of hope, change and unity. Seriously, be thankful women haven't called their lawyers to straighten out this mess. Take responsibility and fix it before the problem escalates.

Stop stoking the fire.
