Just curious because my Dad voted for her and now he absolutely can't stand her. Thinks she is trying to blow this for Obama.

10. i happily voted for her for senate.
I won't say I can't stand her, but i am really disappointed in the tactics she has used, and her drive for power at the expense of anything that gets in her way.

Edited on Thu May-22-08 04:47 AM by marions ghost
most who have "voter's remorse" about Hillary wouldn't be likely to admit to it...I KNOW it's out there.

Maybe it's a little early to expect that those who voted for her would have already had an epiphany and moved on to the stage where they'd be rational enough about it in hindsight to post here. Some may feel disappointed and won't vote for her, but wouldn't say they "can't stand her."

When people throw their support behind a political candidate, there is emotional involvement, identification, optimism and hope. This doesn't turn around on a dime when the candidate proves less worthy and another candidate eclipses her. Some people have REALLY invested in Hillary, just as some have done with Obama. Some supporters lock on and can't let go. Others are more pragmatic and know when they've been led down the primrose path and can more easily jump off the bandwagon. Some may even have shame and guilt about it, so of course they wouldn't trumpet their dismay. People who are questioning their support of Hillary need to be approached with respect. It hurts a lot when you put someone on a pedistal and they fall off. We've all done it.

Your Dad's one of the flexible ones, isn't he? :):thumbsup:

12. Seriously considered voting for her @ the beginning of the primary season..
but kept my mind open to the other candidates. And boy, am I ever glad I did!

I have friends who voted for her and who regret it now, though..
