People are saying that if Obama is the nominee that the Clinton supporters will
vote for Obama, while saying that Obama supporters might not support Clinton.
As a Clinton supporter I'm having a hard time warming up to Obama. Many of us really like Hillary and Bill Clinton and we want to go back to the days of peace and prosperity and real solutions to real problems.
So when Obama surrogate call Bill Clinton a racist, we resent it. When Obama says that Hillary is in the pocket of the lobbyists, we resent it. When we hear Obama surrogates talking about the Clintons the way the Republicans talk about the Clintons, we really resent it.
John McCain is so offensive to conservatives that Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have threatened to vote for Hillary. Although those of us who love Hillary will probably not vote McCain, it can not be assumed that we are going to support Obama.
Many of us are very deeply offended and I'm trying to like Obama and it's just not happening. I would warn Obama supporters that being anti-Clinton might result in a Republican president.
