89. If Hillary wasn't who she is, she would willingly support Obama and encourage her supporters...
to do the same.

That's not Hillary. She is divisive. She's not going to change her stripes overnight.

So, I agree, unfortuantely for the party, our chances in November, AND our country, the job of winning over Hillary supporters falls solely and squarey on Obama's shoulders.

I feel confident he can persuade the Hillary supporters to at least consider voting for him, and hopefully to vote for him.

Time will tell. I think it's wrong to try to force Hillary supporters to endorse someone else, and I especially think it's wrong for posters to threten them with expulsion from DU if they do't immediately pull a 180 and support Obama.

Y'all have to make your own choices, and I have every confidence that y'all will vote for the person you believe will help us get out of this hole that 8 years of Bush/Rove have put us.
