This is difficult to admit, but I will. I previously made statements here and offline that should Hillary win the nomination, that I would refrain from voting for her in the general election. As much as I want my candidate to be the one who wins, I do hereby agree to vote for whomever does win the Democratic nomination (provided they have won the popular vote in the primaries). I cannot and do not want to see another Republican in the White House. If I were to stay home, I just know it would have been the vote that could have made the difference. I couldn't and wouldn't be able to live with myself if that were to be the case. Can you imagine being the one who would have let McSame go over the top? Na, that would cause my suicide.
I really do believe Obama is the right choice in this election. I hope he can go into the convention with the popular vote, but if he doesn't I can and will abide by the will of the voters. I am concerned regarding Hillary being tied to the dynasty, but I believe even if she is, if I cannot have Obama for my President, I would rather have her than McBush.
Now if she were to obtain the nomination by any other means than popular vote. . . Canada, be ready for my arrival.

1. I'd be blaming myself, too, |
|
if I didn't vote for her and McCain won. A non-vote IS a vote for McCain, and you're to be commended to have changed your stance.

We need you and every Democratic supporter...we can't do it without you. McCain is dangerous and will push this country further into the abys if he wins.
We also have to get our candidates to split their focus - they have to start going after McCain aggressively. They have to stop giving him ammunition to use against our eventual candidate.
In all our communities accross the country we have to support our Democratic nominees to guarantee we have an overwhelming Democratic Majority in the House and Senate.
We have a lot of work to do.

6. No one's saying make it a rule |
|
but it's as good a criterion as any for the superdelegates to use when making their decision.

9. I reached the same decision after witnessing a speech by McCain. |
|
I realized I couldn't afford to not help a dem get into office this year. It's too important.
