During the primaries you fall in love, during the general election you fall in line. Any chance Obama and Clinton supporters will mostly fall in line and vote Democrat no matter who the nominee is?

1. I think 95% of Dems will fall in line
no matter their personal feelings. the five percent who do not, well, I share their frustration, but not their strategy.

7. I'm going to (my fav is out of the race)
But with feelings as strong as they are with the maniacs and the bots, there will be lots of unenthusiastic party members. Sharpton's comment about protests won't help matters if they come to pass.

9. Right they are going to want to join McCain who is down on his knees begging
for endorsements from some of the strangest bunch of hate mongering pastors this country has ever known. You do realize that after the primary we are actually running against someone right?

and I'll still vote for Obama in the GE (I'm a former Edwards supporter just waiting for a nominee to support). Look at the alternative.
