Just made a decision: I will vote for Hillary in the General if she is nominated
I have reservations on voting for Hillary Clinton. But if she is in the General, I will vote for her. Not only because she will be better than any Republican. But the most important reason, I will vote for her, because it will mean a lot to my mom to see a President who is a woman.

3. I assume that you were going to abstain
if Clinton won.
If so, thank you for rethinking your position.

5. i hope that every democrat will
vote for whoever the nominee is. i'm really concerned with those who say they won't vote, if their candidate is not the nominee. that is foolish and immature.

to those people. do you want another republican in the white house?

6. I will vote for whoever gets the Democratic nomination...
I'm hoping it will be Obama, but if not, I'll vote for our Democrat! Not voting = I more Republican vote.

7. It would mean a lot to MY mom not see our way of life exported to China
in order to pay for endless wars in Iraq and Iran.

So nope.

9. Welcome to the Democratic Party
I've voted for more than a couple of nominees I wasn't happy with. It's not an uncommon experience in Texas.

11. The only rational position
The sad part is that there are those who are debating staying home in Novemeber if Senator Clinton is the nominee.

Me, I don't like her. But I don't like her a lot less than I don't like every single Repig-lickin' running. With Senator Clinton, there's at least a chance she'd get the Supreme Court appointments right, which sways me greatly. We are teetering on the brink of a generational disaster if even ONE more Supreme Court seat goes to the fascist bastards.

So, being a Democrat, I will support the Democratic nominee in November, whomever that person may be, even if it requires me to enter the polling place with a clothespin on my nose.

12. I hope every woman wakes up
and realizes we cannot pass up this oppuntunity! Think how woman fought to get to vote, now we struggle with the oppinion that we are not intellegent or capable enough to run a country. Between the MSM and most men they will do their best to stop it! My mom is 92 she is looking forward to voting and seeing a woman president, so am I and my daughters, also my hubby. Hillary is our best hope for our future!

16. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN
she is WRONG for this country, no matter what anyone's dying wish is.

25. i don't know about you
but the qualifications of a president mean more to me than sexism and feminism. i happen to agree with everything he says and that's who i'm voting for. i despise hillary clinton & everything she stands for ... and that has nothing whatever to do with her sex. she is trying to create a division in the democratic party & it looks like she is succeeding.

'Cause it's how you pee that determines your fitness to be president! :sarcasm:

19. I would vote for her if Edwards and Obama don't make it
although she is a distant third choice. However, I think I'd better put my work into local candidates in the general election. I'm not a good enough actress to be convincing at canvassing for Hillary.

22. I honestly don't know if I could do it. I've been a dem my whole life, I'm a 50 yr old woman.
And I truly don't think I could stomach voting for Hillary Clinton. She and Bill have no more scruples than the Bush family have. And, imagine Bill in the white house, but not having to spend his time governing. The marital problems again. Imperial Hillary. Backroom deals.

I want a change, and Hillary will just continue all of Bush's policies.
