He won't be the nominee, so it doesn't matter.

hidden insults are boring, whether it asks Obama supporters about Clinton or vice versa.

I'll vote for the Democratic nominee and I really don't care whether its Clinton or Obama.  Both are very close on the issues and both are quite mediocre on the issues.  Neither will bring real change and each is better than McCain.

for Hillary In the GE?

what do you think?

sure.

I like Mccain but once he starts talking about strict constructionist judges that like turns to fear.

If he manages to become the nominee, will you stay home?

For those people voting McCain or staying home - would it change your mind if Hillary enthusiastically endorse Obama, saying, "I threw everything I had at him, and he came out ahead. I admire and respect him, I am voting for him, and I ask my supporters to do likewise. He is a great candidate, and will be great for America."

How about if she were his VP?

If John McCain selects three more "conservative" justices we won't recognize this country in ten years.

The primary reason I support Hillary now (though I'd certainly vote for Obama in the general) is because I think she has the best chance to beat McCain. Obama has not be tested in anything like the right wing media attack storm that awaits any Domocratic nominee.

Obama isn't a Democrat.  He's an Oblah-mican.

Your "diary" sure demonstrated a lot about the twisted world of Obama propagandists.

On the Obama front, he's been attacked on everything from NAFTA to the "monster" quote.

So now when a member of the Obama campaign attacks Clinton and calls her a monster, it is an "attack" on Obama? Wow, that is a truly amazing reinterpretation of events.

On the Hillary front, she has been losing races and bleeding super-delegates.

Hillary hasn't been losing races, Obama has. It sounds like you might be suffering from amnesia and can't recall anything that happened after March 3.

1) Supreme Court. I'd rather not have to hear about any women suffering through a proverbial coup de grâce via a coathanger in a back alley.

2) Iraq: no more. Out. Now. (Oh, and let's not forget McCain's motto: "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb IRAN."

3) The efficiency with which Obama has run his campaign has been impressive, even if I didn't always agree with his tactics. If nothing else, I'm confident he'll get things done and surround himself with competent people.

Give Hillary supporters a little credit, for god's sake.

I keep going back and forth on this issue, but at the end of the day I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

As much as I dislike Hillary personally, if I had a daughter I can only imagine what it would be like for her to see a female president. The "change" and "hope" :) it would bring to the women's movement is the one redeeming quality that I can point to if she won.

Although not certainly. I used to answer this question "Yes" automatically. Now, I am less sure. The more I learn about Obama, the less I like him. But its too important to let the GOP, even the less radical ones like McCain stack the federal bench with right wing ideologues.

so I'll vote for the Democratic nominee.

I'm hoping it's Hillary, but if it's Obama, I most certainly will cast my vote for him, and convince all my Hillary supporter friends that they should as well.

I'll scare them with two words: SUPREME COURT.

I will vote for McCain.

fyi -- these diaries are getting quite old.

this is at least the 15th

This is a false question. There is no way the Supers will support Obama after he loses Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. No way.

Hillary will be our nominee.

So the question is: will you Obama fans support Hillary?

The recent Pew poll found that nearly 25% of Hillary's supporters will defect if Obama is the nominee.  While that's only a snapshot, it's a lot more scientific than any online poll like this is going to be.

I can say confidently that I will vote for Obama over McCain no matter what happens.  I will never be happy about the way he and his supporters have portrayed Hillary as a racist in the course of this primary, but if they get away with it, they get away with it.  This election is not about me, it is about whether my kids are going to have to fight John McCain's wars someday, and it's about a lot of Americans who will be better off with a Democrat as President.

I can't control what other people do, but if there's one thing we should have learned from 2000, it's that the nation cannot afford protest votes.

Forgot where I heard this from, but I agree. Supporters of the losing candidate, need to put their rage aside, look at the BIG picture (mine, the Supreme Court), hold your noses and vote for the Democrat in November. Honestly, I considered staying home (because Obama just makes me so mad!) but at what cost? Those who want positive change or at least a shot at it will be biting their noses to spite their faces should they sit this one out or vote for McCain.

At this point, I don't think I will be able to vote for Barack Obama. I do not think he's ready to be president. I hope that Sen. Clinton is the nominee at the top of the ticket; but I would not object to Sen. Obama as VP. I think he needs some experience before he is qualified to lead on any issue, but particularly on foreign policy.

A president has advisors; however, a president who doesn't have a thorough knowledge of the issues, and the consequences--especially on foreign policy--is at the mercy of either morons or psychopaths.

That is what we have been through with G.W. Bush for 8 years. The Neocons have driven our foreign policy into a ditch because our president was without the experience necessary to comprehend his own ideological dependence.

I didn't vote for G.W. Bush, and I was a Republican. I voted for Al Gore. Gore had the knowledge and the experience to become a great president. I have been right about that; and my intuition tells me this is the same situation.

This country cannot afford another neophyte out in the world creating havoc. We need stability; we need economic expertise and foreign policy expertise.

In my humble opinion, Barack Obama doesn't represent "change" in leadership; he represents the same thing we've had for the past 8 years.

Has to earn my vote.

I'm listening.

So I have to stay home either way.

I don't think this was what your poll meant, so I'll abstain to avoid skewing the results.

With his repeated assertion that he was confident that Clinton supporters would fall in line behind him while Clinton couldn't be confident of retaining his supporters, he openly dared Clinton supporters not to vote for him.  A major flaw in this man's personality is his inability to, or his lack of concern for, even faking a modicum of humility. I guess that shouldn't be too surprising from a man who runs for president after only two years on the national scene.

I have said I will CONSIDER both McCain and Obama. Obama has not convinced me he is ready to be Commander-in-Chief. I am looking for a President who is ready to fix our problems. He can win me over, but I need to "know" him before I could give him my vote.

Yes, I can.  Yes, I will.

But, I hope that it's Hillary.

Don't know what I will do. Most likely not vote. I am in a very blue district in CA. Usually there are no local Republicans on the ballot. It looks like the Obama camp is unwilling to try healing all the rifts that have come up. And am sick of being called a 'racist'. The Obama supporters have completely turned me off.
