4. "I will support Obama for President in the General Election"

That statement is the same thing as in the OP.


(deep down, Hillary knows it too).

5. Most folks say that and agree.
I think we have about 30-40 "I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue" types.

15. Not at all actually.. Sorry, but I don't view Hillary as a true Democrat...
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 11:12 PM by LakeSamish706
She was first a Republican, and now she is (a so called) Democrat... Naw, not working for me...

35. you missed the gist of my post
I detest HRC's stance on the war and Obama simply does not impress me but I will vote for one them in the general election because we cannot afford one more rightwing hack on the Supreme Court.

24. Completely agree. I know I've been upset with Hillary but she IS a DEMOCRAT. I support the democrat
I will never support the REPUG. I haven't forgotten what they've done to this country. We need to take our country back.

14. There's very few of the ones saying they're taking their ball and going home
Who really will. I'll go further than that and say some of the ones saying that never intended to vote for a Democrat in the GE anyway.

16. OK, a few of my fellow Obama supporters are a bit smug right now...
...so I want to make clear.

I will support Senator Clinton fully if she is the Democratic nominee, because whatever my misgivings about her are, she is a million times better than Senator McCain.

26. I have stated before and will state again
I will support the nominee as long as they win fair and square, and without hostage-taking, back-room deals, and derailing the party with cronyism.

If Hillary wins by the votes of the people -- I will vote for her.

If she pulls some kind of bullshit move with the MI/FL ghost delegates and strong-arms SDs, I will vote down ticket only.

It is all up to the credibility of the choice and I am holding out hope that it doesn't come to that -- but her campaign has signaled that they are ready to move if it does.

If the haters and ugly ass meanies go off and sulk ...

I know that, given the absolutely awful comments offered here by some partisans, it will be difficult to forget some of the detestable, insulting statements here ....

I absolute support that nominee ....

23. Of course I will.
That doesn't mean I'm not disappointed that my top 3 choices in a row have gone down in flames. But I'll get over that, and pretty soon I'll be enthusiastic about Obama, just like I got enthusiastic about Kerry in '04. I think we will see the same thing again - all the uproar will settle and we'll have unity as people start to focus on the real enemy. Ironically the candidates who were so busy attacking each other, will also come together to support the nominee.

What they don't realize is how ineffective such bullshit threats are on people, such as LGBTs, who already have so few Human and Civil Rights as it is.

...but somehow I'm the threatening thug for simply pointing that fact out.

And they call Obama supporters "naive"...

50. Let me ask you a question, what would Obama have to do to earn your vote?
I fully admit that barring extraordinary circumstances, a candidate in the general election pretty much just has to be the Democratic nominee to get my vote. But that is because I am a party loyalist and I plan on working for the party in the future.

You are clearly not a party loyalist and so the candidate has to do more than be a Democrat to earn your vote. What would Obama have to do?

I'm not a blind voter. I believe in what Biden said, and his words only. All the remaining candidates are rich politicians with big words and no plans or experience to back them. The Democratic party is electing a celebrity, not our next leader.
