118. well, besides that I seriously doubt she'll get the nom
Just how far apart are Obama and HRC in terms of policy? Are they so far apart that you believe the American people should be left to the darkness of a McCain presidency? Hillary campaigns like a Republican, sure. She trys to outmacho Republicans, without a doubt. But does she advocate and vote for the same type of domestic policies that McCain and Bush advocate? No she doesn't. If anything, she's more to the Left of Obama on domestic and economic issues, maybe not much, but she is.

The difference is, a Democratic president, either Hillary or Obama, would do a whole helluva lot of good for the American people, people who most need the help, people who hurt and struggle. John McCain will do even more damage. So is it more important to boycott voting for Hillary because she's a dirty campaigner and roughed up another Democratic candidate, or is it more important to vote for somebody who will be much better president than John McCain. In the end, I don't care so much about the Democratic Party, as I do about the people of the country who have suffered for 8 years. The Democratic Party will survive Hillary Clinton and/or Barack Obama and this battle they've been waging, but lots of people won't survive a McCain Presidency.
