Are there Obama supporters here that like Hillary too, just not as much? Or am I alone?

[GOTV]

I think we're better off with Obama being the nominee, and then president, but if the nominee is Hillary, I can support her too. Also I assume most people here feel that way but we don't have the heightened passion against a candidate to be as prolific as some here.

We'd be better off if we realized that the majority of the posts don't necessarily represent the majority of the posters.

[polichick]

I'm with you! :)

[Extend a Hand]

1. me

[liberal N proud]

2. I like both of them

Can't decide which one to vote for in the Ohio Primary

[gravity]

3. I'm an Obama supporter who actually believes in unity

[TwilightGardener]

4. I am warmer and cooler on her, at various times, depending on how the

campaign's going. Sometimes I like her, sometimes I can't stand her and vow never to vote for her, sometimes I feel sorry for her.

[SteppingRazor]

5. Yup. n/t

[Celeborn Skywalker]

6. Here!

I like both, i just like him a little more.

[Kajsa]

7. I feel the same way.

I don't dislike Hillary, I just feel that Obama
is a better candidate.

So - No, you are not alone.

[eissa]

8. Yes, absolutely

I feel like I have been saying this often enough here, but I guess it can't be stated too often: I like BOTH of our candidates, just one more than the other. I think HRC is an asset to our party and respect her very much. I will happily support the dem nominee, be it Obama, Hillary, or a ham sandwich, over ANY repuke.

[DGoldman1212]

9. I do!

I've already voted for Obama and I wouldn't change my vote, but I may be the only Obamaite that thinks she did a fantastic job during last nights debate. I think he probably has the nomination locked up, but if he doesn't, I'll gladly vote for Hillary in November.

[Qutzupalotl]

10. Sure, I just think my guy has a better chance of winning in November.

The IWR vote is much easier to criticize if you spoke out against it.

But I'll definitely get behind her if she's the nominee.

[GOTV]

21. Yes, for me there is that practical consideration as well....

... I definitely consider the candidates ability to win and although I'm no expert, I just have a better feeling about Obama's chances in the GE.

[dmallind]

11. Nope - very much true for me

In fact the major difference is entirely based on the likelihood of winning where I believe he has an advantage. I would have no clear favorite based on policy alone.

[Wickerman]

12. I like 'em both

When I was checking in voters at the caucus a lady said she was having a tough time trying to decide who to vote for. We agreed that it wasn't fair to decide between just one - it's like pie and icecream, you should get to have both together.

[GOTV]

15. Nice! n/t

[Windy]

13. Me too.

If it wasn't for her Iraq vote and now the delegate/MI and FL issue, I could vote for her.

[HeraldSquare212]

14. Honestly, I grieve for what she could have been -

without Bill, without the calculation - she'd have been a great Democrat.

[tabatha]

17. That is how I feel.

I was so jazzed with her campaign at the beginning.

[totodeinhere]

16. You are not alone.

[Umbram]

18. Don't be fooled.

The majority of GD: P posters do not represent the majority of DU.
The majority of DU does not represent the majority of Democrats.

People around here have an insanely elevated sense of self-importance. You would honestly think that people believe the stands they take in GD: P are of some consequence to the world at large.

I'd be surprised if there are more than 5% of ACTUAL Democrats that would refuse to vote for either B.O. or H.C. out of principle. These "I'll write in so-and-so" folks are the fringe. They flipped a coin between these two largely indistinguishable candidates or otherwise let their biases choose for them and suddenly became zealots just because they have nothing more important to tie their emotional instability to at the moment.

The people around here that make it sound like their candidate is good-in-of-itself and the other is evil-in-of-itself are ridiculous people - ignore them.

[annabanana]

19. That's pretty much where I am now.

I would have been rabid for Gore or Kucinich,
enthusiastic for Edwards,

I will be well satisfied with either Hillary or Barak, although I like Barak better...

[ORDem]

20. Agree with you! K&R n/t

:kick:

[GOTV]

23. Thanks for the K&R! n/t

[tishaLA]

22. You're not alone at all

I think the time is right for Sen Obama. Any other time, I may be inclined to support Sen Clinton

[DemzRock]

24. I liked Hillary first. I like Obama too, but...

I refuse to see him as a Saint or anything.

GO Democrats!

[surfermaw]

25. I am or was Edwards all the way, and I still feel that way, but can go with either ( Hillary I know

what A Clinton Administration would be, and was happy with the Bill Clinton Administration, angers me when some tries to knock the breath our of a man who is seleted in most polls givem him the place among the top five greatest president, I don't think any thing will keep me from voting democratic, however the arrogance of some disgust me and if any thing would keep me from the polls it will be arrogance...This nation want live under arrogance, I have never treated someome I need to vote in order for a winn, with arrogance, again honey catches more flies with honey thand with vinegar.

[RichardRay]

26. Yep. n/t

[Greyskye]

27. I much prefer Barack, but I'll support either in the general.

My personal feeling about the debate last night, is that he 'won' the vast majority of the debate. She only pulled out a perceived 'tie' through her kick-ass answer to the last question.

[TexasLady]

28. also me n/t

[texastoast]

29. Absolutely!

I'm a Democrat.

I truly believe that Hillary is the better candidate for the job. However, I do not believe that she is the most electable, and that is just too critical to risk. Just my opinion based on a lot of listening.

What I have no patience for are the Hillary-haters who have decided that they would rather vote for McCain than Hillary.

They have no place on this board at all and I wish they would get the hell out of here.

[Kaylee]

30. Nope. You are not alone......

I didn't make up my mind for Obama until a week before I was to vote in the Potomac Primaries. My decision to pick Obama has nothing to do with Sen. Clinton as a person.

[texastoast]

So it's Obama or . . .? n/t

[Kaylee]

38. Is this for me? I'll go for Clinton if she wins the nomination....nt.

[blogslut]

31. I like Hillary

But I am voting for Obama.

If Hillary wins the nom then I will vote for her in the GE.

[katty]

32. I like both of them and they were both very good last night

it was so refreshing to listen to two very intelligent people, coherent sentences and clearly a genuine desire by both of them to serve the common good and get something done.

[GOTV]

35. I've missed most of the debates but I did see last nights and also thought it was very good...

... I think they both came off better than the baiting media that kept trying to bring the topic back to "how much do you hate the other guy?"

[katty]

39. concur-they really didn't take the bait-very smart

[democrattotheend]

33. I would say I fall in that category

I like Hillary Clinton and would be happy to vote for her in the fall if she gets the nomination. Moments like the end of the debate last night reminded me of that.

Some of her campaign tactics have irked me, and thus, my opinion of her has fluctuated a lot in the past few months.

[LSK]

34. shes ok, people get way too carried away with this primary crap

[Cogito ergo doleo]

36. Both are outstanding.

[ClayZ]

37. Here! K and R

[GOTV]

42. Thanks! n/t

[movonne]

40. yes

[maximusveritas]

41. Sure

And that's even more true when you get off the internet and go to the real world. People talk nonsense in here, but most Democrats are happy with either candidate. Those who aren't are just extremists.

[GOTV]

43. I suspect as much as well

There's a certain sport in whipping up a frenzy. I've done it myself for certain issues.

[wryter2000]

44. Waving hand here

Of course, I started out as an Edwards supporter, so neither she nor Obama were my first choice, but I'd to have her as my President.

[GOTV]

47. I was vacillating between Edwards and Obama...

... up until Edwards quit and made the choice easier.

[Jersey Devil]

45. No, I like Hillary as well, made my decision based on electability

and the fact that I think that Obama is such an excellent communicator. I think Hillary is good at communicating as well, but no one can match Obama in my opinion. I just think that Hillary motivates right wingers to get involved much more than anyone else. And, judging by some of the posts here at DU by Democrats, some of them have drank the right wing Kool Aid as well.

[crispini]

46. Checkin in.

:hi:

[Rainbowreflect]

48. Me too! I will vote for either!

It is just that the most angry people yell the loudest & the most often. I really believe that the majority will come together by November. I least I really hope so.

[Capn Sunshine]

49. I've always loved Hillary

It's her taste in organization types that bothers me. We really need to WIN.

[damonm]

50. A -freakin'-MEN!!!

I am the same way - I believe they are BOTH capable of doing well as POTUS and will happily vote for whichever gets the nomination. I am an Obama supporter, as I believe he is a better fit for the country at this particular moment in History.

I have elsewhere on this forum stated this, but I will say it again, as I believe it deserves a reiteration - for those of you who say you will vote for McCain should your candidate not get the Democratic nomination, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!?!?
Are you willing to sacrifice the ENTIRE progressive agenda (and the nation with it) on the altar of your juvenile temper tantrum? Grow the hell up, people! This election is FAR too important to leave the White House in Republican hands!

[Perry Logan]

51. I like them both, despite the bad behavior of many of Obama's supporters.

[Orsino]

52. Yep. I'm disappointed in both...

...but am supporting the candidate who has disappointed me for fewer years. Obama might be trainable, and somewhere inside the suit may be an earnest wish to do good.

[CanonRay]

53. When Bill won, my comment was that Hillary would make a better President.

[ourbluenation]

54. yep - I likes them both.
