I have said that I now believe Obama will be our Dem nominee, and that as our Dem Nominee in GE I will support him fully. I will donate, promote and vote for him. I do believe he is a good person and has great ideas that I am able to get behind for the general election.
I still wish Clinton or Edwards had won, but it isn't because Obama is horrible. We just had our cup over flow this year with great candidates.
Despite this, I will ALWAYS be a Hillary supporter. I will continue to support her in whatever endeavour she chooses next. If she is the VP candidate, if she goes for NY Governor, if she decides she'd rather just write a book... I will support her in whatever she wants to do now that she is no longer campaigning in the primary. The reason is because I believe she is a nice person, who also has great ideas for our country. I don't buy into the demonizing of her, I think she is just awfully misunderstood on DU.
I really appreciate the Obama supporter who try and make it easier to be excited about supporting Obama on DU by not bashing another person who I feel was a very good candidate and was merely misunderstood this whole time.
I think many Hillary supporters feel this way. Most of us agree we can't afford to lose the GE. Many of us think Obama is a great guy and were only reluctant for fears he would have problems getting elected, or because we liked Hillary's health plan a little better, or because of experience. Though if we all work together he can make this a whole new game by winning states like NC in the fall. He did just accept an endorsement from Edwards who will hopefully be able to talk him into some of the ideas behind Edwards health plans. Plus, is experience really THAT important these days? I don't think so anymore. I read a very convincing post by an Obama supporter named Cali where she explained to me that Obama will make up for any perceived lack of experience by filling his cabinet members with experienced advisers. That the president is the VISIONARY. The way she explained it made real sense and changed my opinion. (instead of the way some people on here argue things by merely yelling names at me.)
So thank you for your kind words.
They are very appreciated! Lets all WIN this thing! That is what Hillary wants too... she wants us to WIN in Nov! It is what we all want! :)
