You just said you were a registered Democrat who would not vote for Hillary. Then you said: ya know...
I am sure that HRC is going to mudsling and distort what he said, but to anyone with half a brain, he is talking about the Independents (who according to every bit of data will go to McCain over her) and Republicans, who would walk through glass to vote against her.
It seems you contradict yourself. It seems that when Obama says his supporters will not vote for Hillary, he actually means loyal Democrats like you. It seems he means that he will not even urge loyal Democrats like you to get behind the party nominee and work for that person to be elected perhaps. I take it his supporters take their talking points from him.
Apparently Obama's supporters current threat judging by the comments to Joan's most recent column as well the letters so far here amounts to "Either give us what we want or we will take our ball and go home." Young people who are Obama supporters in the other thread are dissing boomers and suggesting that we all retire. (Some of them seem to be wishing we were pushing up daisies already!) Over here Obama supporters are saying that they should get their way or it will be the ruin of the party.
I hope no one votes on race or sex. As an Edwards' supporter, I am voting based upon Edwards' progressive ideas which I want to see take center stage, but I would never refuse to support a black candidate or a woman. So what gives? What is wrong with you Clinton and Obama supporters that you can't be willing to pull together for the good of the party?
You want us to transcend race or gender, but you all can't seem to transcend the primary campaign season. What a weak bunch of sissies!
At least Hillary never claimed to be a big uniter. Obama the Uniter doesn't seem to want to unite his supporters on behalf of the party. Again I ask, what gives?
