3.  I would vote for a dead skunk over McCain.
But I hate the "Kitchen Sink" m.o. she's been using. I mean I really, really hate it.

13. I think she would be better than McCain but this
it is the same group of people we have had for years and why we are in such a mess now. On top of that I am willing to bet a lot of people in the Obama pool will not vote at all. It looks to me like we will have a McCain for 4 years. I just get this funny feeling that if he does not get it that many of those new people who turned up for him will just fad away.

15. How do you stop it?
The kitchen sink will come at him full force and that also will hurt both of them. Clinton has already said McCain is ready to be President. GOP can just sit back and watch this for months. The Clinton's will take down Obama, I think, and McCain needs not to do a lot on that part. The Clinton's are going to win the run for office but I thinking they will not win the office. I think we are going to have a few more years of all that crazy business going on in DC. I guess I could say that big business has not got all our money yet but they will keep up trying for a few more years. Mean of me to say that?

18. No, it's not mean. It's not just about her winning. It's also what happens if she wins.
I salute her victories tonight, but I deplore the 'kitchen sink.' She's won this battle, but I don't at all feel assured she can win the war, with 50% of voters from the get-go saying they would never, ever vote for her period, end of story. And that's mostly due to no fault of her own -- that's just how it unfortunately is.

BUT, even if she wins the presidency, I imagine the r/w will hound her (as they did Bill) every second of every moment of her time in office and undermine her every success. A highly popular president, with the people solidly behind him or her, could circumvent some of that. But I just don't see that kind of clout in her. That's one huge reason why I am supporting Obama. It's not just about Hillary winning, which is no sure thing. It's about her being an effective president and the nation making the desperately needed moves forward out of Iraq and the rest of the B*sh cesspool.

5. My next vote will be a candidate I believe in, not the best of 2 evils

been there done that, it did not work that time either.
I want a candidate I can believe in, she is not it, not by far,
so sorry no vote for hillary from this public member.

Let John McCain get in the WH over her just to make a point.

6. even if you think
Even if you are disillusioned about Hillary and think she'll be the same as McCain (which isn't true).

3 Supreme Court justices people.

I don't think Hillary would put anyone in there that is anti choice, and McCain would.

That's enough reason to vote for Hillary.

20. Duh
If democrats won't support democrats, then they should get the fuck out of the party. Thats what I say to Clinton supporters that won't vote for Obama, or Obama supporters that won't vote for Clinton. Same goes to republicans.

So if you won't vote for a nominee in you're party cause you can't stand him or her, or whatever. Then why associate yourself in the party? Conservatives won't vote for Mccain cause he is to liberal, some democrats won't vote for Obama cause they say he is arrogant or supposedly doesn't have enough experience. Some democrats won't vote for Clinton simply because she is a Clinton, etc. Once our party has its nominee, it will be time to unite and rally behind him or her.

Some people are morons.
