My Big Sister is For Hillary & I'm for Obama. We Are Both Having a Great Night.
We are both die hard liberal Democrats and have been our entire adult lives.

She's 100% for Hillary & I'm 100% for Obama.

And we love each other dearly. And we are enjoying the race together.

If we can stay so tight through all of this, so can all of us.

Face it, we have two of the most exciting candidates and we should all be very proud tonight.

3. She "converted" me in the 1960's to be a Democrat making my parents furious.
She gets all the credit for bringing me over from the dark side.

We both want Hillary & Barack on the ticket together. Look at our turnout vs that of the GOP.

We already have our team.

15. I think we need to see
Arkansas, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and California to see turnout numbers which matter.

I would certainly be fine with Hillary. And I feel the most optimistic about my country since the chimp stole 2000. It is a great race!

10. My husband voted for Obama and I finally decided to go with Hillary
It doesn't matter for us since we'll vote for the Democratic nominee in the GE. We both were Richardson supporters before he dropped out.

14. And the boy I married voted Obama. Oh well, he threw away his
vote on John Anderson, back when I believed in Jimmy Carter. Times have changed ... and we've both survived!

17. Right.
I think that a lot of democratic families have situations like yours (and the Kennedy family).

And I think that for a lot of us, even when we support different candidates, there is a joy in knowing we are coming to a New Day in this nation. It's been a long time coming.
