You have to give Hillary credit

[matt819]

Senator Clinton has managed to polarize the Democratic party in the same way that the Republican party polarized America. Where even a few weeks ago Obama supporters had vowed that they would support Clinton if she were to win the competition, her tactics in recent weeks have pretty much made it certain that if she's the candidate, Obama supporters would not touch her with the proverbial barge pole. They may not vote for McCain, but they will stay home.

1. no, I will not do this

I have not cared for HRC personally. She is a Democrat, and is infinitely preferable to John McCain.

I am an Obama supporter, and I am a Democrat. I will support the Democratic nominee.

4. I want a browser plugin

that replaces "Hillary" with "Blue Team" and "Obama" with "Red team". It would make these posts so much more entertaining. You'd have somebody with a "Blue team" logo talking about how "red team" has polarized us into teams...

7. How About Just Splitting Us Into Bloods And Crypts?

31. Jets and Sharks

Hillary can be the New York Jets. Obama the Hawaii Sharks. Chelsea can play Maria and I'll play Tony. Tim Russert can play Officer Krupke.

We just need to write a happy ending to this.

Maybe pull one out of a hat like "The Wizard of Oz". We will just click our heels together 3 times and say "There's no place like Denver." "There's no place like Denver"

18. Good response, Teaser.

Thanks!

38. Good for you.

And I, as a Clinton supporter, WILL support and vote for Barack Obama if he is the Nominee.

2. clinton supporters will do the same thing and if you don't think so

you aren't in touch with reality.

A LOT of Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama and it's now much higher than the 25% in the poll a few weeks ago. I'd say close to 50% of Clinton supporters will now stay hoe or vote McCain.

3. Wow...talk about being on the polar opponsite of the OP's non-reality

It's still a non-reality by the way.

[movonne]

8. Then I would have to feel they are not Dems...and I guess they

like mc cain better...so does hillary..

[undeterred]

32. Clinton supporters will stay hoe

Yup

[death to the DLC]

5. I will not vote for her for two reasons:

1. DLC a.k.a. the Republican insurgency

2. Iraq war vote

p.s. - she gets nowhere with me for being John McCain's personal cheerleader either.

[damntexdem]

11. She would still be preferable to McCain.

I can hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils one more time.

But I would also say goodbye to the Dem Party and work for ballot status for a progressive alternative.

13. then you'r blind and don't give a shit about the SC

the environment, children, seniors or much of anything. I can't stand her, but I'm not a fool. I know that she's preferable to McCain- by leaps and bounds.

[MethuenProgressive]

19. So you definately won't vote for Clinton if she's the nominee? Yes or No?

[death to the DLC]

21. No,

I will not endorse her. She has succeeded, she has split the party. The last thing this country needs is more of the same.

I will never, and I mean NEVER endorse the DLC again.

The DLC are Republicans, why do people choose to ignore this fact?

[MethuenProgressive]

22. Thanks for the response. I'm putting you on ignore now.

Because any Democrat is better than any republican.
I hope you change your mind, and decide to vote for our nominee, no matter who it is.

[death to the DLC]

23. simply crushed

say it isn't so!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. I could think of a dozen more reasons, but those are a good start.

[jackson_dem]

6. False. The data shows Obama is the polarizer of the party

[Terran]

14. "the data"?

:rofl:

[NewHampshireDem]

15. Don't laugh

He worked hard making all those numbers up.

You think it's easy pulling stuff out of your #$%? *You* try it some time! :P

[PVnRT]

17. Really? Polling from Pennsylvania "shows" that?

[damntexdem]

9. Of course one has to give Hillary credit ...

she just can't raise the cash that Obama can.


;-)

[damntexdem]

10. [delete]

[cali]

12. speak for yourself please

I will vote for the dem nominee. period.

[MethuenProgressive]

16. So, if Clinton gets the nom, you will not vote for her? Yes or No?

[Terran]

24. I know you weren't asking me, but...

of course I will. Anyone Democrat who says they won't vote for the eventual nominee, depending on who it is, is a fool.

[MethuenProgressive]

33. Thanks for the excellent, and very Democratic, response!

:thumbsup:

20. I have to give you credit for the "DU Polarizing Post of theDay". Here's your

new avatar :boring:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. That's how I feel--won't vote for McLame, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I vote for Hillary.

[MethuenProgressive]

34. So, you won't vote for Clinton if she's our nominee?

Please be honest.

[snooper2]

27. According to Hillary, I won't have to vote for her......

IF ( IF ) she is the nominee, she gave me an out...

Texas is a red state and it doesn't matter.....so neither would my vote...

[MethuenProgressive]

35. Please be honest: You won't vote for Clinton if she's our nominee?

I'd like to know where you stand.

[Stephanie]

28. You said it. I could not in good conscience support her for dog catcher.

I'd fear for the poor doggies.

[MethuenProgressive]

36. Stephanie, you won't vote for Hillary if we nominate her?

Really?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

29. you've just shat upon Obama's fine speech

[undeterred]

30. I dont have to give Hillary jack shit

:shrug:

[Evergreen Emerald]

37. Clinton had nothing to do with this race debacle. That was all Obama

She has stayed far away from it.

[greguganus]

39. If Clinton is the nominee, I will not vote for president, but will vote down ticket.

I don't see much difference between the two.
