		<description>Kathy,

I, not only understand, but also agree with your rationale.  And, it&#039;s only one vote, right.  But it is SCOTUS nominees that I am also thinking about.  Will Clinton as president (never happen), but anyway, will Clinton appoint the same misanthropes to the Supreme Court as McCain would?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I will vote for the Dem noninee regardless of name.&lt;/i&gt;

Well, I have to say that, as of right now, I will not. I mean, it&#039;s not going to be an issue because Obama is going to be the nominee, but the way I feel at this moment in time about Hillary Clinton is that I simply could not bring myself to vote for her. It used to be, long ago back in the olden days, that I hated the thought of voting for Clinton because she is so far to the right, for a Democrat, on the issues. But in this election I could have voted for her, holding my nose, despite that. But now, It&#039;s no longer the issues per se that have made it impossible for me to consider voting for her -- it&#039;s the cynical, unethical, corrupt way she has used the political process in the primary campaign. She sickens me. Playing up Jeremiah Wright for all the racist value she can squeeze out of it; playing to white voters who don&#039;t want an African American to be president; her hypocritical and dishonest attempt to get the Michigan and Florida delegations seated, and making it an issue of &quot;fairness&quot; when it&#039;s really an issue of an utterly cynical politician willing to go back on her word, change the rules, and really do *anything* -- whatever it takes -- to get the nomination, which she has not had any realistic chance of getting since Super Tuesday.

I simply cannot vote for her.</description>

		<description>Most of my life I have worked with my hands.  I consider myself &quot;blue collar&quot; and I voted for Senator Obama in the Ohio Primary.  I expect to vote for him in the General Election, also.  I will vote for the Dem noninee regardless of name.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not that Afro-American voters aren&#039;t considered important by Democrats...  But Clinton is obviously from the old guard, who just make the assumption that blacks will vote Democrat so often that they don&#039;t even have to work for their vote.

If the superdelegates go en masse over to Hillary&#039;s side, though -- betraying the will of the voters -- then think the Clinton&#039;s would learn something about not taking their voters for granted,</description>
