We should ALL pretend to support Hillary...
When pollsters call us, we should say Hillary is our choice, vote for her in on-line polls, and make it seem even MORE like she WILL be our nominee, since all the Repubs. talk about is how THEY are able to beat Hillary. Let them think they're GETTING Hillary. Then BAM! We elect Obama and they have to scramble to change their whole playbook. :D

8. It won't be Obama ,.I'm ready but the country is about five to ten years
away from voting for a woman or man of color.John Edwards like Jimmy Carter is thought of as too soft to make cold decisions.

13. I'd prefer not to. I think they have lots of stuff on him, too,
with charges of him being phony, hypocritical, etc. Just that video of him brushing his hair could ruin him (unjustly).

34. Undecided as to candidate
If that is an option I will say that. It's going to be a long year and as I live in Florida my vote may not count anyway. I always vote Democrat even if it may not count. As to an answer I am pretty tight lipped and dislike participating in surveys.

15. It's already happening!
Most of Hillary's supporters on DU are only pretending to support Hillary. When the primaries come watch 'em switch to their REAL preferred candidate.

Gonna be fun!

Fantasy is all they have. :shrug:

This is a coping mechanism. People often use these methods when they can't face reality.:toast:
