If Sen. Clinton says that

[intaglio]

Sen. Obama is the candidate and that those who have been so strongly supportive of her should now support Sen. Obama - will the people who so strongly support Hillary vote for Obama in the GE? I am not asking that those here who have been so vocal in their support of Hillary actually work for the Democratic campaign or give money to the the Presidential Campaign but will they vote for Obama if Hillary asks that they do?

1. Democrats, Sir, Who Now Support Sen. Clinton, Will Support The Party's Nominee

There is no real question concerning this: there is only some venting of bile and spleen in various directions at the present moment.

2. Well I am doubtful given the venom over at

the various pro Hillary sites

[MonkeyFunk]

3. And I'm doubtful, given the venom

at pro-Obama sites, like DU.

It's really time for the hatred to stop.

4. just wondering what you call obama's comment that all of Sen. CLinton's supporters

would go over to him, but none of his would go over to her? or don't we talk about such things?

5. He did not say none of his supporters would support her

He said he wasn't sure ALL of his supporters would vote for her, and he was obviously talking about the independents and Republicans who were voting for him in the primaries. This was before polls started showing that he suffers more Democratic defections, though he does do better among independents.

In the course of campaigning, I have met many independents and disgruntled Republicans who said they would have to decide between McCain and Obama, but would never consider voting for Hillary. I think that's what Obama was talking about when he said that.

6. Fortunately, the real world bears little resemblance

to the hyperbole that passes for discussion on the internet.
