Main reason I will never vote for Obama, His own words.
He claims I will vote for him, but his supporters will not vote for Hillary.

Hillary supporters are better off to skip him, Let McCain win and have a shot at it again in 2012.
In fact some may just pull the lever for McCain. Given his sort of urging of his supporters to not vote for Hillary, What do we owe him? Nothing, he is not about unity and will never get my vote.

As of now I consider myself a Clinton voter, If she drops out or loses, I may be considering third Party options or McCain, but I certainly will not vote for Obama. BANK on it!

21. It's an inaccurate "jist"
He said, in essence, that he is expanding the base of the party and bringing people in (independents and some republicons) who might not otherwise be here. He knows HE can do it, but he's not sure that those same people would vote for Sen Clinton.

28. Dean Said That In '04 and Got His Ass Jumped for It
It turned out to be correct, nonetheless.

Still, I don't think that's a reason to vote for anyone.

24. How about a video instead?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcdhxe1MjsU">Obama suggests his supporters won't vote for Hillary.

Either way, the OP is a fence sitter and not a democrat. Apparently its more comforting to sit at home and sulk than forget a bruised ego and do what is right for the country. I say this and I don't support him either, but I am not a fool.

31. I actually think Obama's comments are pragmatic
He's simply saying that he's expanding the base of the party with young voters, independents, and some republicons; there is nothing to suggest that they would vote for Sen Clinton if she were the nominee. I'm not sure how one can disagree with that. Is it impolitic to say? Perhaps. But it's fairly realistic.

23. I am voting for the Democratic nominee.
I was referring to the trend of new face Obama "supporters" who a couple of months ago would swear that they would never vote for Hillary.

Its looks like now those idiots are posting for Hillary side.

God this place makes me want to retch.

19. It's understandable to be disappointed that Sen. Clinton seems to be losing ground
But I think that you know Sen. Obama is referring to the Independents/Moderate Republicans that would likely vote for him and not for Sen. Clinton in a General Election against McCain.

22. Very simply.....there are a ton of young and a ton of Independant voters that will vote for Obama...
but will NEVER vote for Hillary.

Wereas a large percentage of Hillary voters would vote for Obama if he wins the nom.

I dont think Hillary folks understand how hated she is by the right AND THE INDEPENDANTS.

26. Most Knuckleheaded Theory Ever
Do policies matter to you at all? These decisions affect the lives of millions of human beings in a very real way. You shouldn't be so nonchalant about it, especially when you are twisting a candidate's words. Obama never said YOU will vote for him. He suggested that DEMOCRATS would vote for him, as would the independents and aisle-crossers he has been grabbing.

As a Democrat, I will absolutley vote along party lines. I may not care for Hillary Clinton, but I know that the differences between her and McCain are vast. Which means, if you didn't know, the effect they will have on human lives will be vast.

32. As I said on the other thread...
I would blame you when President McCain replaces Stevens and Ginsburg but at that point the Supreme Court will probably have declared the first amendment unconstitutional.
