Hillary likely isn't going to go to the floor, she has made very clear that she'll accept the Veep spot, and the Obama camp has telegraphed that this offer will be made.
So let's all quit fussin' and a fuedin' and start organizin'.
Be honest with yourselfs.
If you hate Obama, do you hate him more than McCain? If so I offer you are not a progressive, Democrat, or other such person likely to vote for any Candidate on the blue side of the ticket.
If you hate Clinton, do you hate her more than whom ever McCain will pick you fill his shoes in the likely event that he can not complete his term? If so I again offer you are not a progressive, Democrat, or other such person likely to vote for any Candidate on the blue side of the ticket.
Now, you may wish your Candidate to take it to the floor, that's her right to do so if she wishes, but you should make yourselves ready for the fact that she likely won't.
At that point, you're going to have to decide to either side with your candidate, or go against even the one you admire for her support of the Nominee.
