Are the polls true: You won't support the other Dem candidate if yours loses?

Poll question: Are the polls true: You won't support the other Dem candidate if yours loses?

Last night I heard the report on the ABC news that Clinton and Obama supporters, in a large enough margin to matter, would refuse to vote for the Democrat they do not prefer if he/she is nominated.

I have real trouble believing that we are at this point. But I just don't know.

Is it true?

1. I'm voting Dem.

I've learned my lesson about shooting myself in the foot.

2. I'm not voting for Hillary if she steals the nomination...you don't deserve my vote

through crap like that. On the flip side though, I'm sure as hell not voting for McSame either.

4. Same result. nt

3. The polls show emotion. McCain is crap, we will ALL vote for the Dem.

Too much is at stake and we will all come to realize that come november.

5. "Too much is at stake"

THIS.

6. I won't like it, but i will vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination

I may not like her, but she is far better than McCain.

7. Suggestion: In future, add option "Will write in my candidate's name"

There are many people discussing this option, and it might be interesting to include it in a future poll.

8. I would vote for Clinton if she won fairly.

9. The polls have nothing to do with me. They reflect the willy-nilly independants...

The I'm-just-going-to-sit-here-and-wait-for-people-to-beg-me folks, the center, center-left/right, conservative (and yes DU, there are such animals) Dems that came this way this time around hoping this primary would be something other than a no-questions-asked popularity contest...they will be leaving back to wherever they came from.

That is the downside imo to this sniping, the loss of shear numbers. We are either the big tent we presume to be, or we are not. It is sometimes no more complex than that. But for the fact that those numbers go more likely to McCain.

Call them Reagan Democrats, discount them as DLC, call them whatever you care to but they consider themselves Dems as well. Me?

I vote for the nominee of the Democratic Party.

11. This is not a joke.

I would probably vote for Hill if forced but I would remove every TV and computer from my home. I would become as self sufficient as possible and work on my yoga and meditation. I think I would have to work very hard to not become extremely physically ill, possibly terminal. The stress of living in a world with leaders that are out of touch with humanity and humility is overwhelming. Peace, Kim
