Hillary supporter said they will not vote for Obama instead they will for Mc Cain. My understanding is that Hillary and Obama basically agree on the same issue. If Hillary supporters vote for Mc Cain then they are going against Hillary Issues. It doesn't make since. They are trying to come together for the America Dream. But some people are against that. Why??????? Do these people rather spend another 4 years in poverty. Only serious people please respone. Thank you Pleas help me I'm confused.

You do not get it and this is why the party has not healed. You can say all of the no to Hillary and Obama in '08 you want, but until you show some civility, you are going to lose in '08 because you have alienated the Hillary voters. Just because I can't stand Obama does not make me a bad Democrat or a racist!!! Your candidate won because of the super delegates and because of Howard Dean's stupid handling of Michigan and Florida. As for me, I am a life long Democrat who is disgusted with the way the news media and the DNC covered this primary. SNL's skit resonates with so many people because of the bias and slanted coverage and it is still happening to this day. As for who I will vote for, I have considered voting for Obama, but the voters with their in your face attitude have me thinking seriously voting for McCain to send a message that I am a person and not a bot. I vote for the person and what they stand for, and right now I am not happy with what has happened to the Democratic Party or the Obama supporters. So a clear message for Obama supporters, yes, you can celebrate, but do NOT rub your opponents nose in it or you will really lose in '08!!!!

I'm so frustrated at the supposed Clinton supporters. If people really supported Clinton for her positions on important issues...they could never vote for McCain. McCain is the complete opposite of Clinton and Obama. It's just so unfortunate that some of the Clinton supporters are so disappointed in the results that they are being irrational in their voting. I can only hope for the sake of this country that the Clinton supporters will see the error in their rationalization before it's to late.

Take a look in the mirror, your candidate and you as his followers are vicious race bating hateful people, just sit back for once and take a good look at the blogs and see what type of people you really are, and to question us about our decision to vote for McCain and how much damage it is going to do. You all need to start taking responsibility for your actions, you should have thought about that when you went out and voted for a man that you knew nothing about and that is obviously not ready to be President. As a so called democrat(new Democrat) did you truly do your research and compare the people that were running or did you just drink the kool-aid blindly, did you not realize that your decision on voting for who would be the nominee was a very important one, because we needed someone that would truly go up against the Republican Party nominee and not back down, did you not think about the consiquences of your vote? well I did I factored in everything before making my decision because I knew that if the wrong person was nominated it would jeopardize us getting to the White House, so start taking responsibility for your own actions if McCain gets in , don't blame the Democratic base of the party who understood the process and voted with everything in mind, if you do the research you would realize that the Democratic base is eroded, they have lost almost 10% of their base to Independents, that says a lot. So since you so called new democrats want change, deal with the change from Bush to McCain, that's change that you will end up having to believe in. We don't have to vote for McCain we can simply stay home and do nothing, like Obama did when his Media Staff(MSNBC, CNN, ABC,etc) was bashing Hillary Clinton and Labeling her and Bill Racist.

Do people forget that he also had 18 MILLION votes? Did the media "force" the superdelegates to choose Obama? No. They made their choice on their own using their own judgement. Can someone tell me why so many former Clinton administration people decided to choose Obama instead of Clinton? Were they forced, did someone have a gun to their head? The answer is flat out NO. I'm sick and tired of people calling me (and I take it personally) somehow delluded, misguided, or drinking Kool-aid, etc just because I support Senator Obama. Yes, I'm African American and that has nothing to do with it. If Gen Colin Powell ran as a Republican, even though I highly respect the man (and I'm a veteran), he would NOT have my vote because he's a Republican. Secretary Rice would NOT have my vote if she ran as a Republican. I initially was going to support Senator Clinton until I did much research. She (and her husband) do not have a rosy past. She ran a bad campaign (as noted by Mark Penn). There are many scandals that you should research and outside of her being 1st lady, I don't see all this so called experience. Can anyone name a piece of legislation that she sponsored that made headlines........as a veteran, the Bosnia thing really turned me off. You don't forget being shot at, EVER. There's no way to "mispeak" that. All that being said, she is a respected US Senator, and should have a say at the convention which she does. BTW - Good for Mark Warner.
