Obama's historic run heads south

Did his victory in Iowa and strong showing in New Hampshire really "put to rest the notion that a black candidate can't win in America"?

    I won't vote for HRC. Here is why.

    Any Obama supporter who is childish and puerile enough to throw a hissy fit and vote for a Republican or not at all instead of Clinton in a general election richly, richly deserves the next 100 years in Iraq and the next several trillion dollars in debt.

    I am a registered Democrat. I am an Obama supporter. I will not vote for Hillary in the general if she is not the candidate that I prefer.

    It's not a "hissy fit", I vote for my principals, and due to the way she has acted during this primary, with the lies and mudslinging and racebaiting, I do not believe that HRC has the moral authority to be president. Now, if I see the same kind of Rovian tactics from anyone, EVEN OBAMA, I would turn on them just as quickly.

    I would vote for McCain over her for sure. That hurts to say, but at this point, I would.

    Of course, I live in Utah, so it doesn't matter, but still, I am sure there are alot of people, NOT just Obama supporters that feel the same way.

    We have an opportunity to grow the Democratic party and the Progressive movement, but the HRC campaign would rather win at any cost rather than try to win cleanly without damaging the party.
