That's why I'm not going to condemn anyone for not voting for her or voting third party, as I have in the past when people refused to vote for Gore or Kerry.
Unlike the other two, Hillary has not proven any political courage or for that matter, taken much of a stance on anything. She's the epitome of a DLC democrat - a spineless and opportunistic career politician owned by corporations. True, both of the previous candidates were also members of the DLC, but they have proven their independence from them on several occasions.
But I do know that this country is at a breaking point. We're teetering on the brink of a major crisis and I think another republican could put it over the edge. And I think Hillary will at least not take us there. While I honestly don't know what her Iraq policy will be (her statements are always so meaningless and ambivalent, she gives herself mile wide wiggle room), or for that matter have no clue what her stance has ever been, I don't believe she'll be as reckless as a republican on matters of foreign or domestic policy.
If this doesn't sound like much of an endorsement, it's not meant to be. I honestly don't think she deserves anyone's money or time (campaigning and canvassing). I also won't go out of my way to defend her. But I think the election goes beyond our party - it's about keeping the country from falling apart.
