1. Well, I'll be HAPPIER if Hillary wins, but
I will vote for Obama without hesitation in the GE should he win the nomination.

3. Obama
I agree. Obama brings new ideas to the table. Clinton has the same ideas and I really dont like her health care plan. It seems to favor the Insurance industry by FORCING people to carry insurance.

5. I want a democrat in the White House working with a democratic
Congress to reverse the damage of the bushco administration and move us forward. I'd prefer that the nominee be Barack, but I'll gladly vote for Hillary. Despite the nonsense posted here, both candidates are democrats, and both offer a strong departure from bush and McCain.

:thumbsup:

10. Yeah, I could get behind Obama...
if he's the nominee. I doubt you'll get that sort of commitment from many Obama supporters though. I've even read some Obama "supporters'" posts who say they'd vote for the Republican challenger before they'd vote for the evil Hillary. :banghead:

107. I don't have a problem with this

Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 07:15 AM by dragon82a
As an Obama supporter, I think its pretty funny.

However, for the Clinton supporters who are Rabid about this. Think about this. Myself and many others have decided that we will vote for whatever crazed repubthug when Clinton takes the nomination.

Why?

1. At least we will get screwed openly rather than in the subtle ways that Clinton will do.

2. Anyone is better than what will be 28 years of either Clinton or Bush rule.

:banghead: Some Obama supporters leave at LOT to be desired when it comes to electing a Democrat to the White House. If they can't have their candidate elected they'll vote against their best interests just to spite themselves (and the rest of America I guess).

24. It's easy to drag out a selection of posts of 'the other team' saying something like that
However, you're in a thread written by an Obama supporter saying he'd support either one. And there's plenty of Clinton people posting the exact same thing. And I think that if they really believe that, they don't belong here.

18. I would have liked it to be Biden...or Edwards...but...
I voted for Clinton, and would be fine with either of them in the GE.

Either of them would be a huge improvement over the idiot, and way better than warmonger McCain.

20. I'm a secret dual supporter. Publicly, I insist that the nomination be won
fairly. Got to keep our candidates and party operatives honest at the convention. I want them to worry that too many shenanigans in the selection process could alienate enough of us to jeopardize our November chances. ;)

28. I really hope that Hillary wins. She will make a great president BUT
If Obama wins, I know that he TOO will make a great president. Either way this is going to be a legendary election. I tingles just thinking about either Hillary OR Obama in the White House. Regardless of which one I favor and which one I plan to vote for.





Though I think Hillary would be the best of course ;) lol

29. "Thrilled" is more like it...
Either will make a fine President, and not just in comparison to the current one.

31. I've always said this
They both have their good points. I wish they could be combined into one "super candidate" (Obama's charisma & lack of record with Hillary's known ability to kick some ass), but I'll take whatever the voters decide.

33. Obama supporter here, checkin' in.
They're both capable and brilliant people. Policy disagreements aside, I'll be proud to vote for either of 'em. And I felt that way about most of the candidates who have dropped out, too.

We've got a deep, deep bench of talent in this party. We should be proud of that. :hi:
