The Hillary supporters are not just women, but many concerned Americans. Obama is far left and not for the center of the party. Hillary was the only centrist left in the race. That's one reason it's been a 3 way race for the last few months. McCain in general is centrist but is running in the steps of Bush and his rightist friends. There are many loyal Democrat voters who have been in the center and in the party for many years whom the party has literally chosen to dump. The young college/ high school voters have come at the expense of the people who have devoted their high school/ college/ young working lives, older working lives and retirement to the party. We are supposed to put up and shut up because... what are we going to do about it.... vote for McCain? The abuse of the party equals the way the Republican Party treated Christine Todd Whitman and others who were more centrist then right-wing. Maybe a new centrist party needs to be created?
