Maybe afraid to meet her in a dark alley, but they're salivating at the chance to face her in the general election. Having Hillary as the Democratic nominee would be the best get-out-the-vote strategy Republicans could imagine. No one else gets such knee-jerk hate from the right. I'm ashamed to admit I voted for Bush in 2004, but this year I'm voting Democrat unless Hillary gets the nomination. I can only hope Obama gets the nomination. Trust me, he will get a lot more crossover votes than Hillary ever would. A lot of Democrats are nostalgic about Bill Clinton after 8 years of Bush, but they seem to forget just how hated the Clintons are on the other side.

If democrats vote Hillary as their party official, I would be forced to vote against her with any candidate that could overtake her in a general election. She would cripple the country since she is so hated, no one from the senate or congress would work with her on any important issues. If she is the democratic nominee, the dems lose again.

You have stated the bull-headed foolishness that has left our country in the dire need for change. Obama does not appeal to Republicans. He appeals to intelligent people. This country needs someone willing to think and respond in earnest, not play to party politics. Further, how would a "fighter who is willing to be unpopular" be any different than Bush? It would be the same song with a different tune. Finally, I am registered as an Independent, and plan to register as a Democrat to vote for Senator Obama.
