Re: re: Obama's neglect of W. Virginia
by djg1229
I am tired of the Clintonistas saying that they will vote for McCain over Obama. Just go ahead and do it -- you don't need my permission. Do you think that the fear that you will vote for McCain will make Obama's supporters rethink their support for him -- Oh yeah, I had decided that Obama was a better candidate for me, but nmdemo would vote for McCain, so, by gosh and by golly, I'll throw that aside and support Hillary.

If you honest-to-God believe that McCain will be a better President, then that's who you should vote for. But, if you vote for him because you are in a snit because your candidate -- despite the Clinton brand, the support of the DNC superdelegates (the only group in which she still leads), the fund-raising apparatus -- could not win the nomination, then you may want to rethink your voting strategy. McCain will not end the war, will work to abolish a woman's right to choose, will be ineffective in dealing with the economy, may lose his temper at an inopportune moment and get the country into trouble, and will pack the Supreme Court with Alito and Roberts clones. So, if you believe that Rev Wright's intemperate remarks overwhelms that possible future, go for it. Just don't come back crying when things have turned out worse than you imagined.
