Just curious to know what he could do to win you over.

1. If he wins the nomination
he's got my vote. He doesn't need to "win me over." Until then, I'll stick by Hillary.

10. BRAVO!
That's the best posisble answer to the quesiton.

All he has to do is win.

It's nice to have someone call me a true democrat. I've always felt like one.

3. Promise to keep the books closed for BushInc so Bill can keep pretending he's a Democrat.

5. That's easy!
The Obama camp et al and ALL his supporters need to STOP BASHING HILLARY at every opportunity and make her VP or give her an important position in the administration. Yes, she has earned it! About half the Democrats in this country want her as president. VP isn't too much to ask for. But, the hate has to stop or I'll never vote for him...as they won't deserve my vote. Simple!

Now back to work! Time out from gardening is over.

12. They won't deserve your vote?
Being that Obama hasn't slammed Hillary, even when she deserved it, are you admitting your vote is swayed by what a bunch of anonymous people say about your candidate? Are you really that shallow and petty?

22. When has he attacked her like she has attacked him?
He never ran a sniper-fire ad, but she tried to tag him with even the most tangential shady people, for one.

41. Are you blind as a bat? How can you say that or think that?
Are you drunk on something?
Come back an post when you sober up.

"has he attacked her like she has attacked him?"
You must be joking!

Where have you been? Can't you see threw the biased media?
Or don't you even think they are biased?

Obama has millions of people that he and Axelrod encourage bashing of Hillary every day. Obama just stands there and pretends he's above the fray...well he's not! He's as quilt of bashing Clinton as anyone.
To not see this is willingly being blind. When have you heard him ask his nasty mouthed supporters to stop lying about Hillary? He hasn't! He has the most vicious supporters I have ever known and I find it hard to believe they are Democrats when they act just like sicko Republicans.

45. He can't control people on a message board.
The question was when has he *personally* attacked her the same way that she has *personally* attacked him.

He could easily have attacked her on stupid gaffes like the sniper-fire incident, but didn't, yet she brings up people like Ayers and praises McCain over him.

When has Obama HIMSELF done anything like that to her?

46. As I already said...
He has thousands of nasty Republican like supporters to do it for him and he's made no attempt to stop them...thus giving his permission while acting as if he's innocent. He's not! Also, don't forget his campaign accused the Clinton's of being racist...which was a damn out right lie! I'd say that was a pretty nasty low blow and you wonder why I'm not one of his supporters.

And don't get me started on Hillary's race-baiting -- she can't even control Ferraro.

50. She shouldn't have to. Geraldine didn't say anything that wasn't true
and she was expressing her personal opinion which she has a right to do.

It's more than a message board. It's ALL of his supporters... very nasty!

You're right...let's not get started!

51. So Obama is lucky to be black?
That's what Ferraro said. She also said Obama brushing dirt off his shoulder was sexist, which defies any sort of logic.

And how is her personal opinion okay when she was campaigning for Hillary, yet the allegedly horrible things that "all" of Obama's supporters said (I wouldn't even make a dumb generalization about Hillary voters like that) is not covered by "personal opinion"?

36. I agree with you that she has the support of Half the dems
but does she really fit in to the message of change?
bush,clinton,bush.clinton

Also, if she is VP how can we be sure the Clinton's will not undermine his authority. I worrry that there would be too much infighting is she is in Obama's administration, particularly as VP

as a former supporter of Hillary, I just no longer trust her.

30. What's pathetic is thinking you can bully people into supporting your candidate
Need I remind you how well that worked on Nader supporters in 2000?

The Dems have rolled over on everything, and rolling over on hating the Clintons is the last fucking straw.

Go ahead and shoot the messenger, but don't be surprised when nobody tells you anything anymore. Groupthink always leads to epic fail. Always.

48. I have to agree that group think always leads to Epic Fail.
Group Think got Georgie in to office twice, but, I think we all know what a wide reaching epic failure THAT has been.

35. Whether or not they "support" him, any real Democrat will vote for him in November.
So what should he do? He should remind them he has a (D) after his name and leave it at that.

42. Only one thing: offer Hillary the VP position.
I don't know if she wants it, but since she got half of the Democratic votes, it should at least be offered.

No offer, no vote.
