Obama supporters: Would you ever not vote for Hillary because on her supporters? [View All]

[George_Bonanza]

There is only one scenario in which I would not vote for Hillary: if she won the nomination by forcing the validation of the results of Michigan and Florida, and/or coercing superdelegates to support the candidate with the fewer votes, fewer states won, and fewer pledged delegates. Even if she smears Obama like hell, I'd still probably support her because dirty politicking is not new, especially if you're from the Clinton/Carville school of anything-goes. As much as I hate dirty tactics, I don't want John "100 Years" McCain in the White House. So if she wins Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Puerto Rico by 20 points and beats Obama, then yeah, I'd support Hillary.

But I would never ever base my decision on the fact that some Hillary supporter on DU called me a name, or that some Hillary supporter on the street swore at me. Hell, even if a Hillary supporter tried to stab me, I'd let it go because the election's not about me and my hurt feelings. This election is not for the vindication of my armchair political king/queenmaking skills. This election is about putting the person who will get us out of Iraq, end the Bush tax cuts, protect the Supreme Court from conservative takeover, etc in the White House. If my pride and ego get bruised in the process, so what? This election is not about me.

Unfortunately, some of Hillary's supporters don't seem to get that fact.
