This was not easy for me. But I voted, and it wasn't for who I went in supporting.

[PresidentObama]

I originally supported John Edwards.

I supported him for a year, and I was shocked like all of you when he dropped out.

So once he dropped out, I was up in the air.

I leaned towards Hillary.

Leaned towards Obama.

Leaned towards just voting for Edwards anyway.

But I decided on Obama. I didn't know exactly if he was all hype, and all happy talk. I liked his rhetoric, and that seemed enough for me. Not a bunch of substance there, mostly all sizzle and no steak. But I made my mind up: Obama!

Until today.

I walked in, and waited in line. This was my first primary.

I waited for twenty minutes and had a lot of older voters congratulating me and saying it was great to see a young person out voting.

I sat down, and started to mark the arrow for Obama.

Let out a sigh, and then started to mark it for Edwards.

Went back and forth between them, and finally just shaded in the arrow for Hillary.

Don't ask me why, I know where she stands. I know where she'll take the country, and I'm fine with it. I may not always agree with her, but I think she'll bring about the change she's talking about on the campaign trail. I wasn't so sure of that about Obama. I liked his rhetoric, but I wasn't sure he could pull it off. Especially with the fact that Hillary is talking about the issues, and in very big detail.

So I admit it. I flip-flopped.

At least six times in the past week or so since Edwards dropped out.

But I voted for Hillary Clinton.

[FrenchieCat]

1. Good! You voted for Dems to be defeated in November......

Because the country will not go for the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

Thanks a lot for that! :hi:

[PresidentObama]

2. What an idiotic post. I can vote for whomever I want.

And I did.

Grow up.

[FrenchieCat]

14. and you did.

[PresidentObama]

22. I shouldn't have to put up with your bullshit because I didn't vote for your candidate.

Hillary Clinton is most certainly electable.

And she could beat McCain with ease.

As could Barack.

[Cant trust em]

44. I'm for Obama, but you're right

I've agreed with Frenchiecat on a lot of things, but I don't think that any Democrat needs to be trash talked for making a vote.

[yardwork]

59. It's good to see numerous Obama supporters standing up in this thread!

At least three Obama supporters have repudiate the rude initial responses to this thread, and it makes me proud to be a fellow Democrat. I hope that Hillary supporters will respond politely - even enthusiastically - to posts from new voters today, even if they chose the other Democratic candidate.

It's all about supporting the Democrat in the end.

[Cant trust em]

72. Obama people have gotten a lot of shit recently

for being nasty, sexist and this and that. I really feel a need to come out and represent that we're not all like that. DU has gotten crazy recently and I think it's important to come out and be unified. I've had discussions with some really flamebaiting Hillary people that for some reason I was able to have a respectful conversation with. We can have disagreements about who is the better candidate for whatever reason, but I think that at the end of the day we should all realize that we're here for the same reason.

[yardwork]

76. I agree, and I appreciate it.

I'll do the same. If I see any nasty posts from Hillary supporters I'll speak to them. I usually do, anyway.

[Cant trust em]

89. honestly, I don't bother chiding anyone specifically

I'll post a "let's all be buddies" thread in GDP, but I'm not going to tell insaneObamasupporterX to leave other candidates alone. If they are already making nutty posts, me wagging my finger at them isn't going to work.

[yardwork]

19. You voted, and you voted Democratic.

That's what really matters. Congratulations, and thank you for supporting our country's democratic process.

[HughMoran]

34. Don't listen to her

She's constantly full of venom - bitter to the core.

[Big Blue Marble]

108. She is not bitter.

I take major offense at that accusation.

She is a strong partisan. Deal with it.

[HughMoran]

110. You're right - she's angry.

Which makes her seem bitter. Partisan people like her are tearing this place apart - I personally dislike her behavior.

[Big Blue Marble]

115. We are all partisan here or we would be elsewhere.

I have seen Frenchiecat dedicate herself to advancing the Obama candidacy. She often provides
great information and prospective.

She is passionate as we all are. If you disagree with the impetus for that passion, it may seem like anger to you.

And there is lots of passion on all sides here. It just depends on what side you are on as to how you see it.

[JackORoses]

67. yes you can, John McCain thanks you!

[Maven]

97. Ignore her.

[Big Blue Marble]

I agree with Frenchie.

Of course you can vote for whomever you want and choose that person however you want.

That is what voting is about.

But you did vote for the candidate that is most likely to lose in a race against John McCain.

The polls support that and it is fact. The only thing that will bring the Republicans home is Hillary.

Sorry, but the Republicans are hoping that we will give her the nod.

[Yossariant]

119. I disagree. And I won't be substituting your judgement for my own.

[Samantha]

116. Yes you can

and don't let anyone ever tell you differently. I do not support Hillary; but the most important thing is that people made a decision (on their own) and go out and vote. And that's what you did. You do not have to answer to anyone about it. Congratulations.

[yardwork]

5. Charming.

[Dr Fate]

6. Hellloooo President McCain. n/t

n/t

[Marrah_G]

27. Oooooooo Scary ~gasp~....... I guess I better vote for Obama then!

:eyes:

[yardwork]

33. Yeah, rudeness always makes me toe the line. Not.

[Dr Fate]

128. Merely a statement of fact- I wouldnt try to change minds at this point. n/t

n/t

[Dr Fate]

130. Nope. Not trying to scare or convince, just suggesting a fact. n/t

n/t

[sharp_stick]

52. Oh do shut up

gawd this if you don't vote my way it's going for the repukes is getting really old.

[Dr Fate]

129. I'll keep talking. I have as much right to express a fact as you have a rt. to make the fact happen.

n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. That's just ridiculous. They're foaming at the mouth for Barack to win.

They will tear your prince to shreds.

[billbuckhead]

17. More love from those wonderful Obama supporters

I want to know how the Obamatons think they'll win if Obama is nominated. With attitudes like that, many Hillary supporters will vote for McCain, McKinney, anybody but Obama.

[BlackVelvet04]

Well, they'll shut their eyes real tight, wish real hard,

click their hells and chant there's no place like home, there's no place like home. That's the game plan. Think it'll work? ;-)

[yardwork]

Well, I for one would never vote for a Republican, no matter how nasty Obama's supporters behave.

On the contrary, I suspect that some of these so-called Obama supporters will cut and run for a Republican, even if Obama is the nominee. Some very nasty people pretending to support Obama. He deserves better supporters, imo.

[flyarm]

43. its amazing isn't it how the Obama people are killing their candidate daily with their bullshit?

i was leaning Obama when John Edwards suspended his camp..but now i can't stand to even look at Obama because of the attitude and behavior and words of his supporters..

i now can't stand his camp at all!

fly

[Bongo Prophet]

105. The well mannered supporters of each candidate mostly stay out of the poopit, Flyarm.

And most of the poo flinging supporters are...less than what they seem. Or is it more than what they seem?;)

Heck, you know me as an honest broker (I hope!) and I find much to like in each of them.
I can name the pros and cons of each, or analyze their weaknesses and strengths against several repug opponents...but the "supporters" corrode the information to the degree that quotes are misused and taken out of context, faux outrage abounds, and before you know it, you have these false impressions of a "fuming Bil" or "Michelle won't support our nominee" or "Fake crying, just BURSTING into tears" -- Oh god I have seen it all. Sometimes the best of us can get caught up in it.

Hell, Obama admitted as much, and that he needed to focus on the kids, on the future. I think the "grownups" moment, when John suspended, was a wakeup call to not marginalize each other, as the stakes are too high to risk more neocon rule.

I don't like to see damage done to the point we have to heal, rather than be ready to take on the regressives - better that we push both candidates to incorporate as much of John's message and influence into each of their campaigns, and the world sees our leading candidates, black and white , woman and man, looking to create a future without a Guantanamo, without neocons and oilmen at the levers of power.

I am better than that. I KNOW YOU are better than that.
I want YOU to fight alongside me - WHOEVER the nom is, because I know what a true-hearted fighter you are.
My partner is still considering voting Edwards next March, to better leverage his power as a pseudo superdelegate.
I will pick a candidate by then, and it may well be Obama and the more liberal wing of the party, to which he is aligned.
We get along just fine.

I will respect you no matter your decision. Always.

[dmallind]

Silly buffoonery

There is absolutely nothing to suggest any but an inconsequential number are concerened about "dynasties". Nor is there any overwhelming evidence to show that a Clinton nomination would lead to defeat - head to heads are both mixed and highly speculative at this point.

[Bluebear]

40. How dare you.

[in_cog_ni_to]

56. This is shit

I NEVER thought I'd see coming from this poster, but I know why it is.

[Cronus Protagonist]

127. I'm curious... who was it that so inflamed people?

:P

[HughMoran]

51. Small minded is as small minded does

:eyes:

[farmboy]

66. You are soooo hurting your candidate, Obama. You cancel much of the work of his respectful fans.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

112. Classic flamebait.

Classic funny flamebait.

Damn you!

[William769]

118. Loser of the day post!

Are you happy that you are still the reining champion?

[yardwork]

3. My boss and I were just talking about this.

We agree that Obama and Hillary are about the same on policies and issues. Sigh. Both far more conservative than we would like. We both wanted Edwards.

But, now we have to choose between Obama and Hillary. And they're about the same, except that one is relatively unknown - we don't really know much about Obama, cause he doesn't have much of a track record. We know what Hillary is about, and it's not all good, but it's not bad either, most of it, and she's tough.

So do we vote for the devil we know or the devil we don't know? I never bet on a straight. I'll vote for the tough devil I know.

[GoldieAZ49]

62. you are right on the issues they are close

the difference being Obama has high positves and Hillary has high negatives with the general population in the US

going into the GE I would rather the focus be on the differences between the issues, which are very different, than a rehash of all the Clinton baggage

once that starts, there is no getting back on point

[yardwork]

70. I don't agree that there is such a split between the two among the public.

I live in the south. The sad truth is that a lot of folks aren't going to vote for a woman or a black man. Period. So I'm glad that both Obama and Hillary are running, but I don't for one minute believe that one of them is a shoo-in to the White House while the other is unelectable.

Hillary Clinton has decades of experience on the front lines. She can swing the Republicans by the tail. I want to see her have that chance.

[GoldieAZ49]

78. The south will go republican...again, the have since 1964 except 1976 with Carter

[gateley]

4. You did exactly the right thing - voted for the one you think is the best. nt

[PresidentObama]

7. I know I did. It was still a difficult vote to make.

[gateley]

16. I know it was difficult. I'm not sure what I would do if I had to vote today.

I'm almost hoping it's a done deal so I can just cast my vote for Biden at my primary in May.

You done good. Sleep well tonight! :headbang:

[applegrove]

25. yes you did the right thing. Your vote is entirely up to you. If you couldn't

vote for your favorite..at least you voted for who you thought was the safest bet. Anyone may disagree with you. But it is entirely your decision.

Congrats on your first primary vote!

[Straight Shooter]

8. Usually I pass up these types of "confessional" posts.

But I'm glad I read yours. You take voting very seriously. Thank you.

:thumbsup:

[Big Blue Marble]

109. Strange, I would say the opposite.

Someone who changes their mind six times in a week then makes their mind up on a whim at the last minute.

That is taking voting seriously?

[soleft]

9. I went through the same process

But I voted for Obama.

[peoli]

10. wow. it must have been "a lot of older voters congratulating me ". the gerriatric pressure

[yardwork]

37. Maybe by the time you qualify as "geriatric" you'll have learned how to spell it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

64. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

:rofl:

[smalll]

87. LOL -

:applause: Do they give DUzys for zingers? I hope so! (Or if not, I hope that changes!)

[shaniqua6392]

12. I don't envy you being in that position.

It has just been such a difficult year. I live in Michigan so the decision was irrelevant for me. But, I can sympathize with those who are just not sure. It is a testament to our top two candidates that it is so difficult. Either of them will do a great job for America. I do believe that. Edwards was the only one I gave money to in the beginning. But, we all know how that worked out. I am happy for you and proud of you that you gave it so much thought and went ahead and voted. Sometimes it just is not so clear and we just go for it. That is alright. Congratulations!!

[Bucky]

13. Well, at least you didn't vote for her before voting against her!

Then I would have known you were a Kerry Democrat!

Naw, seriously, I think it's great that people have so many close choices this time around. Everyone should be honest and open enough that they struggle so much with their choices. We're blessed to have such difficulties.

[TexasObserver]

15. Thank you for voting and for explaining your vote.

I never have a problem with anyone voting their conscience, whatever it is.

[busymom]

18. Don't feel bad...

I did this once before too in an election where I was very conflicted. We lived in Fl and Nader and Gore were on the ticket. My husband and I were convinced that Gore would take Fl and we wanted a 3rd party candidate to get the vote so that a viable 3rd party might appear in the US.

I know, I know...crazy talk.

We both went into the booths to vote for Nader....and both emerged having voted for Gore (damn those hanging chads and all....)

[BlackVelvet04]

20. Good job and thank you. n/t

[azmouse]

21. I'm glad you voted.

And I hope you'll return to the polls in Nov to vote for the Democratic candidate to take back our country. :hi:

[xchrom]

23. i'm glad you voted and are content -- sorry such assholes had to

respond to you at first.

i voted absentee for edwards.

[PresidentObama]

42. Good choice...actually great choice.

[Pirate Smile]

24. How did you feel afterwards? Happy, relieved, sad, unsure ...

[PresidentObama]

29. Relieved. I made a choice. After Edwards dropped out, I didn't know what to do.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Smart move! Hillary can beat McCain and I'm so glad you didn't fall for the repuke meme

that she can't win. She WILL win.

[anamandujano]

28. "I know where she stands. I know where she'll take the country,"

Add to that, her work ethic is a thing of beauty.

[AGirl]

30. I understand your thought process

It's not an easy choice to make.

[cd3dem]

31. Edwards will get a good job on the cabinet from Hillary... it is all good!

[Politicub]

32. Yay! Thanks for sharing your story.

I hope Hillary wins - she'll be a fantastic president we can all be proud of. John is an amazing human being, and I predict he'll give poverty a voice the same way Gore has embraced the environment.

:bounce:

[TwilightGardener]

35. Are we going to see these masturbatory "here's how I voted" posts all day, or what?

What a thrill.

[yardwork]

45. Have some cheese with your whine.

[TwilightGardener]

55. LOL! I suppose quality reading was too much to hope for today.

[yardwork]

74. I will gladly k&r any thread you start that includes quality reading.

[TwilightGardener]

79. I don't generally make posts about myself and my tortured personal

decisions over fairly mundane matters, because I assume everyone will find it about as interesting as I find theirs--that is to say, not interesting at all. But when I do, I'll let you know!

[PresidentObama]

81. You took the time to read it, and reply. And now you're taking the time to respond back and forth.

So if you aren't interested, please move on.

I like the venom I'm getting from Obama supporters because I said I didn't vote for him like I planned on doing.

Not interested? Next!

[TwilightGardener]

85. I'm creating my own entertainment. I'm resourceful that way.

[Big Blue Marble]

111. Hilarious sarcasm!

:rofl:

[JackintheGreen]

36. I'm SO proud of our tolerant, accepting community here on DU

:sarcasm:

Seriously, though I may not agree with your choice, Kerry, good for you. You voted, and you voted Democrat!

[redqueen]

38. Glad it's over for ya, at least.

I'm still planning to vote for John, but like you I've been all over the place the past week.

*sigh*

:hi:

[PresidentObama]

53. It was a difficult choice. A week ago, things seemed so easy huh?

Vote Edwards.

Sigh.

[redwitch]

101. I voted for JE

And will vote for the Dem nominee in November. I too am filled with *sigh*.

[Mass]

Congratulations for having voted - Who you vote for is your choice and nobody should criticize you

for it.

Let's just agree to disagree without being disagreeable.

[PresidentObama]

61. Thank you Mass. I appreciate that n/t

[David Zephyr]

39. While I wish you'd voted for Barack, I respect you enough to honor your choice.

I wish more people were honest like you.

And I don't think you flip-flopped. You made your decision.

All the best to you Kerry2008.

[TomClash]

41. I was for Edwards in 2004 and

belatedly in 2008. And I wound up voting for Barack today - in NYC. Hillary is a lightning rod for the Republican Party. She energizes their party. Barack steals their votes and marginalizes them.

[Cant trust em]

That's why McCain, Romney et al keep talking about her

because they know that just by mentioning her name it gets their constituents out to the polls.

[Saturday]

46. You voted. I'm proud of you. n/t

[bidenista]

47. thanks for sharing

For obvious reasons, I'm happy! :D

[ElsewheresDaughter]

48. so did I

[Carrieyazel]

49. You should have gone with Edwards to send a message.

It won't make any difference I know, but then again Hillary and Obama are both the media-driven "choices" that we've been given and many Dems don't like it one bit.

[Iceburg]

50. Thankyou for sharing your difficult choice ... a very thoughtful post. eom

[Bread and Circus]

54. That's cool. We all have a right to vote how we want.

Just don't be surprised if the change she brings you is Republican-lite DLC governance. Because honestly, that's all she knows. Witness:

So an Edwards supporter goes for the DLC candidate....

And we wonder why nothing changes....

:hangover:

[shayes51]

57. Wonderful!

[surfermaw]

58. That is what I will do however, by the time I vote I will know if the edwards thing is going to work

I think Hillary is the answer with her we know what we will get, and she has the experience, Obama sosen't have the experience and he is leaning republican.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

60. There will be many like you

[rinsd]

63. We all have our reasons for voting for whomever.

And everyone should be entitled to make that decision and not have to hear shit for it.

[LostinVA]

65. I know how hard it was for you to decide whom to vote for

Any of the three would have been fine, because the vote would be for a DEMOCRAT! You voted for a DEm, and that's what matters. And yeah, I would say the same no matter who it was. I want HRC to win, but I want the Dems to win more.

[demokatgurrl]

121. Our party needs more like you. Dems who stick together. n/t

[beachmom]

Thanks for participating in democracy, Kerry2008!

It'll be just fine. I am at peace at whatever happens today or in the next few weeks. I voted for Obama, but in the end, you and I both will always be Kerrycrats.

[PresidentObama]

71. Indeed. I did what we do best, I focused on the issues.

I'm proud of my vote.

I voted my heart.

[leftynyc]

99. That's all anyone can ask

Thank you for voting and participating today. I hope you'll vote for whoever the dem candidate is in November.

[PresidentObama]

100. I sure will, and with pride.

[CarolNYC]

68. Big pat on the back....

You know I love you and your enthusiasm, Kerry2008, from the days when we both were hoping Wes Clark would jump in the race.

I love that you voted for Hillary and I love the way you reasoned it out....Yes, she is talking about the issues and in very big detail. That SHOULD mean a lot to voters but here you had folks laughing at her last night for daring to spend 90 minutes discussing issues and rahter making inspiring speeches.

Even if you'd voted for Obama, I'd still applaud you for your enthusiasm and the way you've taken it upon yourself to get involved and get educated on the race. We do need young people to do that so badly. But I can't deny it puts a way big smile on my face to read that you marked the ballot for Senator Clinton. :)

Oh, and your description of your indecision as you went to mark the ballot reminded me someone voting in tribal council on Survivor. :)

[PresidentObama]

75. Clinton/Clark 08? I'll take it.

Thanks for the kinds words!

[CarolNYC]

98. Yeah, I could live with that. :) n/t

[Usrename]

69. I guess you're forgiven.

If this was a confession.

:shrug:

[Clintonite]

73. Kerry & Obama. Two losers in a row! MCcain says "thank You."

[Proud2BAmurkin]

82. the OP voted for Clinton.

[csorman]

84. What ignorance.

Some of you Hillary people whine, whine, whine and whine about how your candidate is being SO UNFAIRLY attacked on DU! Yet, you turn right around and say shit like this. Grow the fuck up.

[DUyellow]

86. LOL, you didn't even read the post HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL LOL LOL

[Lucinda]

77. I'm sorry you had such a hard decision. And that some have been asshats about it

I'm glad you joined us, even though the road to get there was tough.
I think she'll be a great POTUS.

[goodgd_yall]

80. Thank you,

from a fellow Hillary voter.

[Hoof Hearted]

83. Thanks for your vote. I appreciate how agonizing it was for you. I had Clark in '04.

Your vote is sacred and precious.

Thanks for your decision today.

[AtomicKitten]

88. I still love ya, Kerry2008.

I am a big advocate of the "I yam what I yam" school of thought.

Cheers.

[PresidentObama]

90. Thank you, AK.

I will support the Democratic nominee.

Where do you live? Do you vote today? If not, when?

Good to hear from you!!

[AtomicKitten]

92. SF, baby.

Very exciting grassroots movement here. I'm leaving for my shift to drive voters to the polls. It will keep me occupied because I am jumping out of my skin right now!

I love the smell of democracy in the morning!

:toast:

[PresidentObama]

94. Smells like VICTORY!

[thetaoofterri]

91. That's Okay...

I did exactly the same thing. I went in voting for Edwards, came out having voted for Hillary. I am more than fine with it. I am completely comfortable and I will continue to support her through the GE.

[Life Long Dem]

93. I don't feel hype.

First, I had the chance in my state to vote already, and I voted for Edwards.

After John suspended, and a couple days grieving, I felt it was time to move on.

Well, I then got behind Obama and I can really feel a sweep, and if your in this sweep, you will be swept away! Then the Kennedy's came out and talk about history in the making. I think Obama will look at this as the biggest boost yet.

Whites are voting for Obama. It's a little different for a black person because of the obvious fact of having a black president for the very first time.

[Renew Deal]

95. Hey, good for you.

Obviously it was hard for you. I'm glad you made that difficult choice.

[BootinUp]

96. excellente.

[puerco-bellies]

102. At first I was a "K" man, then Edwards

When John suspended his campaign I started evaluating the other two. I woke up with the intention to vote for Edwards, but in the booth I switched at the last second and voted for Obama. The deciding reason was his no vote on the IRW.

[Bluebear]

103. "The deciding reason was his no vote on the IRW." Well, he wasn't in the Senate at the time

but whatever :)

[puerco-bellies]

106. Your right, I should of wrote Opposition to IWR

Not vote. Sloppy on my part, but still the primary reason for my final decision between Clinton and Obama

[avrdream]

104. I suspect you weren't alone in that thinking.

Thanks for your honesty.

[demokatgurrl]

107. Thanks for your post.

I sway in the breeze a bit myself. I think Obama may have an easier time beating McCain, but I also believe (and no one here may agree with me) that Clinton is actually more progressive than Obama. I also wanted Edwards. Well actually I like Gravel but he has no prayer.

And every time I start to feel a little excitement about Obama I go to his web site and see the anti-Clinton venom over there and I feel that I can't stand to be one of that group of supporters.

Well, I liked your post but alas I think I am more undecided now than I was even this morning.

113. I agree -- she is

That's why I'm supporting her.

114. Fail.

117. You just earned my respect in a very big way.

Not because you voted for Hillary but because of your candidate dropping out and being torn between who to vote for.

Rest assure no matter who you voted for today, you will sleep well this evening knowing you gave it a very thought out process.

120. Thank you. I'm proud of my choice, and it was difficult...but I made it...

122. Kerry2008, don't you listen to the naysayers.

Your vote is YOUR vote, no one elses. It took alot of courage for you to come in and post what happened with you. I may not support who you voted for, but I DO support your right to vote even if you wanted to write in something silly like Bobo the clown.

123. You're like the guy who chooses the sedan over the convertible. n/t

124. Wise decision! having grappled with the choice myself - I know the feeling.

Once you decide though - it's a relief

125. This was my ninth presidential primary

But it was the first one in which I, like you, literally stood there with my marker moving back and forth between two boxes -- Edwards and Clinton. I finally selected one.

So as an older, but not geriatric :), person, I also thank you for caring enough about your country to make a choice between difficult alternatives, in difficult times.

(I don't buy the argument that one is more electable than the other. By the time the MSM gets done dragging them through the mud, no one will recognize either of them any more. President McCain is a *very* strong possibility here.)

126. Good job!

We need a fighter to beat the mighty GOP Wurlitzer.
