2. No need for nose-holding either way, imho.
Neither are ideal for me, but I will focus on our candidate's positives and contrast him/her with McCain.

That's what it's all about for me.

3. I will NOT hold my nose!
Either one of our candidates will make a fine President!

I prefer Obama, but if he doesn't get the nom, then I'll vote for Hillary...

No nose holding is required, IMHO!

:P

4. Obama's name would go on my bumper, Hillary would get my
reluctant nose-holding vote, but no bumper sticker, active support or $.

6. I'll vote for GOBAMA (blecchhhh) if he's the nominee
Complete with nose-holding, incomplete with money, time, etc. for his campaign.

8. Not a card carrying Dem
Lets look forward to the General election. For those of us who are not card carrying Democratic party member (Indies,newbies & crossover
voters). If you are inclined to thwart the continued Bush/Cheney policies in 2009 what do you do? I would urge you to vote FOR your States
Dem nominees for Senate & Congressional seats in this primary.

1 In the General vote FOR your states entire Dem Senate and Congressional seats.

2 Decide to vote AGAINST the Dem nominee by leaving the Presidential slot BLANK in Nov 08

3 Vote with your feet by not showing up to vote in Nov 08

4 Vote for the Dem Presidential nominee just because thats the only choice you have been given.

5 Most importantly vote FOR the Presidential candidate because this candidate is YOUR choice.

I am NOT a follow my party right or wrong voter..I'm not even a member. However I do wish to thwart any more of the Bush/Cheney policies of
the present.Therefore I will vote FOR my states Dem Senate & Congressional seats that are in play during this election. It will be
interesting to see how many Indies and newbie & crossover voters feel the same way.

I am not a member of any organized party--I am a Democrat. Author: Will Rogers
If I cant be the Dem nominee for Commander in Chief.... I say that Republican Sen McCain passes the test... Author: A fool who will say and
do anything to win the Dem nomination...

9. I am a Democrat, but I do not carry a card (I do have a AAA card, though).
For me, being a Democrat means supporting the philosophy and goals of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is not perfect and it does not perfectly reflect all of my beliefs, but we do not all get to form our own pet parties. I will vote for and support the nominee of the Democratic Party because any Democrat is better than any Republican.

10. This is encouraging...
Factoring out the trolls who were never going to vote Democratic in the first place, and it would appear that even in the heat of the moment, we're still one party.

11. Totals. Don't look good even at DU.
While only 4.08% say they would vote for McCain, a whopping 20.4% would not vote for the other Democratic candidate.

I sure hope this changes for the better come November 4.

12. Nose-holding not necessary
I will gladly vote for - and work hard for - our Democratic nominee.

The alternative is just so wrong.
