AKA Smith
Your basic position, as far as I can tell, is this: "If Hillary is the nominee, you'll have to vote for her or otherwise McCain will win."
Now, if I am obliged to vote for the Democratic nominee UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, it follows that it doesn't matter how nasty a campaign she runs. If she wins the nomination, she's entitled to my vote.
I'll admit that I deliberately overstated YOUR position, but I did so in order to show how offensive it might be to an Obama supporter. Just as you don't like to be threatened, i don't like being blackmailed or backed into a corner. If Clinton uses win-at-any-cost tactics against my candidate and then turns around and claims she is entitled to my support because she has vanquished him, you can surely see how my acquiescence would validate the use of win-at-any-cost tactics.
