Obama supporters, what are you going to do with yourselves if Obama doesn't win the nomination?
This is a serious question. I'd really like to know.

3. Um.........Vote for the nominee
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:12 AM by BrentTaylor
As you can see in the exit Polls. Obama supporters are very smart and well educated. They aren't going to stay at home or vote for McCain

but maintain my alter and, in honor of my leader, continue sacrificing once-worn pantsuits daily.

22. That's the spirit
If your candidate doesn't win, jump ship and help the enemy? Sorry, McCain may not be the rethug puppet that Limbaugh and others want him to be, but he's still a fucking rethug with some pretty repulsive ideas.

47. I could make a comment about a "typical Clinton supporter",
but I won't. Lumping the rest of those fine people in with you would be incorrect and unfair. If you want to act as if the primary is equivalent to 4th grade name-calling contest, have at it. Make your nominee proud!

Unless you care to point me to any post I've made that speaks ill of Hillary supporters (as a whole) or speaks ill of Hillary herself. Why don't you go look, and get back to me when you're ready to have an adult conversation.

For me, I will work to elect Democrats up and down the ticket (easy for me in MA).

18. it's only been asked here a couple of dozen times here over the last
few days, which makes your post lame and disingenuous, kittycatters.

I'm going to support Clinton. What the fuck did you think? That I was going to rend my clothes and wail?

What are you going to do if Clinton loses? I know. You'll curl up in a fetal position and suck your thumb.

I'm sick of stupid.

23. Give up...
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:26 AM by Zueda
Much like my parents did when JFK was shot.

It's taking all I can give to stay politically active in light of the Reid/Pelosi leadership. Barack gives me hope. Clinton, to me, represents Reid/Pelosi politics.

on edit: Note that I did not say I would not vote for her...but my active participation in government will most likely cease.

If he loses to HRC fair and square there is nothing to do but
congratulate the nominee and move on to beating McCain in the GE. The goal is to get a Democrat in the white house. Why do you ask?

34. I don't know what the real Obama supporters will do, but as far as the imposters, half will stay
to crucify Hillary, even during the general election, and the other half of the imposters will simply return to the Free Republic where they came from.

35. Project much?
I guess because I have some serious philosophical and political differences with Hillary Clinton and can't trust a damn thing that comes out of her mouth, that I'm a Freeper? I'm very liberal and I'll have a very hard time voting for her. So will many others who came onto the Obama campaign, whether they are progressive, moderate or moderate right.

43. I would feel disappointed
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:38 AM by Big Blue Marble
that our country missed the opportunity to turn the page on the politics of divisiveness that has defined our
country for over thirty years. Personally, after more than forty years of passionately believing that politics
can bring real change, I would leave the political arena. I would understand that the political process in our
country is completely broken.

I would always vote. But other than that, I would put my energy and my money elsewhere.

Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:38 AM by Kittycat
He's marginalized any hope she has of moving forward without the support of the independent, younger, and discontent dem coalition he's bringing to the table. He started the whisper, and our voices will be heard. And lord help her if she tries to pull Dean out and replace him with one of her DLC shills.

I wasn't really asking who you would vote for, basically I wanted to know your reaction if Obama didn't make it. That's all. And I won't be starting a thread to ask how Hillary supporters would react because I really don't care.

58. What did you expect?
Hundreds of replies screaming that we're quitting politics, going on a drinking binge, committing seppuku, etc? Maybe idiotic comments that we're writing in "Obama" on our general election ballots?

Here's what thinking adult Democrats do when "their" candidate doesn't win the nomination: We probably complain a little bit and then get on with the serious business of keeping the White House out of the hands of another Republican trainwreck. What did you really expect.

It's like a fucking snowball fight around here.

57. If he is on the ticket I vote Hillary; if not I have not come to a conclusion yet.
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 11:49 AM by oviedodem
The simple reason is that the Clinton's DO represent some of what the problem is in Washington and I don't feel her health care plan, or any of her major initiatives will pass easily because of her "polarizing" presence.
