Many hoping for Unity are waiting for HRC to be VP. When THAT does NOT happen, many more HRC supporters will feel the insulting slap in the face and even MORE will defect. The convention is not even going to succeed as a SHOW of unity. The Obama supporters remain the ugliest, nastiest, most insulting, bigoted undemocratic haters I have ever seen support ANY candidate. Not hopeful uniting nor inspiring but quite concerning regarding the future of the party. I expect NO bounce but rather a decrease after the Convention.

Maybe you could support the candidate closest to Hillary in ideals. Maybe you could donate and help her lower her debt.

Its funny when polls go against people they hate it, but when it goes for them they love it. The FACT is that poll are not and never will be true. When polls said Obama would beat Hillary, he lost, when they said Hillary would beat him, he won. Don't trust polls. Who came up with his concept anyway? I mean they only poll so many people (max 1000) then on top of that they always have a plus and minus margin of error. Completely dumb. Anyhow I'm a registered Republican voting for Obama Obama '08 Does anyone realize the nationwide poling means they called just about 1000 (usually less) people in 50 states (sometimes not all states).
