I'm a passionate lifelong Democrat - I've never voted for a Republican in my life - and so is pretty much everyone else in my family. We've discussed the election a lot over the past year.
And none of us will vote for a ticket that includes Hillary. We won't vote for McCain - that will never happen - but we won't be supporting another faux-Democrat, either. If we're forced to that unhappy choice we'll write in the name of a real Democrat instead.
I held my nose and voted for Gore-Lieberman in the 2000 election. That was the last time that a DLC candidate will ever get my vote, even for Vice-President. And I think Lieberman's behavior since that election has amply proved that some "lesser evils" simply aren't acceptable to a Democrat of good conscience. Hillary's atrocious voting record and behavior in the primary place her firmly in that "unacceptable" category.
