How Many Clinton Supporters Are Considering Switching or have Switched?

[berni_mccoy]

Honest question. Honest answers only.

Please do not vote in this thread if you are not a Clinton supporter or did not switch from Clinton since Super Tuesday (but feel free to kick).

On Edit: changed grammar from "plan to switch" to "considering switching" and "plan to support" to "will support"

1. I will never, ever "switch" or become a supporter of Senator Obama

[xultar]

2. You will vote for him though. A Republican must not win the GE.

[LostinVA]

4. I didn't say I wouldn't vote for him, which you were perceptive enough to notice!

[xultar]

6. I try to be perceptive but when ever I do on DU I get shit flung in my eye.

[papau]

8. duck and cover?

[xultar]

3. BTW these kinds of posts are stupid. I must go on record with that. These polls just

make people more pissed.

So they tell the OP what they want to hear...the bad stuff the shit, the negative so people can be sufficiently outraged and be like see I told you they are assholes.

I know this trick. I used to play them.

10. I had no expectations about the results of this poll, so your premise for my motivations is wrong.

Politics is a hobby for me. I do not believe this poll is scientific, but I find it interesting to see how people respond, not just to the poll choices, but by posting replies. The answer to the questions are usually found in the replies than in the numbers.

5. I prefer Clinton but I will support any Dem over McCain...

PS: Never trust ANY politician. Newbies are in for some major shocks if and when Obama becomes president and doesn't make good on all his promises.

7. I'll vote for Obama if Clinton quits.

[Cameron27]

9. I won't support Obama

until Clinton quits. It doesn't give me any pleasure in saying this, but I'll vote for him if I have to, but I won't do it with any enthusiasm at all.

19. that is how i feel. my gf thinks maybe we will both be enthusiastic about obama

once we see him in a debate w.mccain.

so here is hoping that happens

11. Question on wording, how does one "plan" on switching? n/t

[berni_mccoy]

12. Good catch. Updated language. Thank you.

13. Perhaps I'm a polyanna about this

I support Hillary Clinton until such time as she is defeated or withdraws from the primary race. It is not certain at this point that she will lose, but her prospects are growing dimmer.

I will enthusiastically support Barack Obama thereafter. Just don't expect me to get into the chanting and love-bombing at rallies. One of the things a lot of Obama supporters don't realize is that the emotionalizing is profoundly troubling to some of us. It isn't because we're wet blankets, but because of The Other Issue Which We Must Not Mention. (I.e., not his race. It's "tulc" spelled sideways.) I've admired Barack Obama for a long time, but the revival meeting methods he uses are not part of that admiration. I want to vote for a president, not a Phenomenon.

I'll feel bad for Hillary if she loses (same for Obama if he loses), but this is a win-win season for Democrats -- as long as the THIRD win comes in November.

--p!
On edit: removed the footnote. I already said what I had to.

14. Thanks for writing exactly what I'm feeling.

:yourock:

[Dogmudgeon]

16. Thanks!

It's been a tough season already. I've decided to return to the high road ... for the most part. :evilgrin:

All joking aside, we activists need to start talking about internecine reconciliation, party building, and solidarity. John McCain will not be fighting as politely as BHO and HRC have been. (It's generally been US who have been duking it out bare-knuckled!)

Thanks again!

:hi:

--p!

17. I agree with Pidwidgeon on this exactly! n/t

[TankLV]

15. As of now, I can never vote for a gaybashing pandering idiot like obama...

I will never vote for a repuke - but many of my gay friends and my partner are considering voting for that other idiot Nader because obama has pissed them off so much...

I could never do that - I will stay home - I will have "better things to do" if he's the dems choice...

[woolldog]

20. Wouldn't it be ironic if that happened

and McCain won and started rolling back civil rights for gays?

[TankLV]

22. Then you won't have me to blame for that...would you...

you can look in the mirror - you and your saint obama...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. she has my full support

[berni_mccoy]

21. Kicking for the evening crowd.
