Several people here have asked why Obama supporters wouldn't automatically transfer their votes to Hillary in November, should she win the nomination. The simple fact is that Hillary has not conducted a campaign that merits our support.
She and her surrogates (Bill especially) have willfully distorted Obama's record, twisted his statements and misrepresented his positions. These are the same kinds of ethical lapses that Democrats have complained about for the last eight years. If the party is willing to nominate a candidate whose grasp of the truth is little better than Bush's, the party deserves to lose its Obama voters -- and quite possibly the election.
