I don't know if the author cares or not, but I'm not coming back to the fold. Not unless the Democratic Party changes considerably in the next few years. I am not only not voting for Barack Obama, but am not supporting financially his campaign, the national DNC nor any organization that might provide money to their campaigns. The way the the primary was conducted was disgraceful and I was horrified at the way Hillary was treated by the Democrats in general. I am also concerned with the lack of experience and agenda that Barack Obama has for the country. If he becomes president, the country will be mired in incompetence and an extreme leftist agenda. The party leaders of the Democratic party is pathetic. Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Clyburn among others has provided no leadership or guidance in the House or Senate since the Democrats became the majority.
The Republicans are no better and I probably will support Nader. I believe that Mc Cain is still the better person in the race but his pandering to Bush's agenda isn't great either.
I think there may be other Hillary supporters who may just vote for Barack but I doubt they know there are other options or they still believe that Obama's policies will be similar to Hillary's. (If they were, then why did he run?)
I know I can't and won't. This wasn't just another primary election as we all know and history tells us nothing about what people will actually do. I do know that Democrats are not getting my vote in November.
