Re: Clinton Rules
As a life-long democrat, I will vote for HRC if she gets the nod. I simply couldn't pull the lever for McCain. But lets get real here, people. Many Obama supporters (voters) are new to the process or returning to voting after ignoring the electoral process for many years. Call that cult of personality if you want. The bottom line is that many of these people would not be voting AT ALL if it weren't for an inspirational figure like Obama. That's amazing news for the Democratic Party and they'd be wise to capitalize on it.
I haven't missed a vote since 1985. I won't miss it this year either. But can the same be said of the many voters driving the huge turnout we have seen in the democratic primaries? HRC may find democratic support fading in the general election. She just doesn't bring new voters out the way Obama can. She's perceived, by me and others, as business as usual.
