At the end of the day, what voters hopefully do is compare the candidates, and vote for the one that comes closest to what they stand for and/or who will do the best job.

I understand the grievances of some Clinton voters (I was a Clinton supporter): it is not easy to take when your candidate is treated unfairly (and often in a sexist way) by the media. And then she, and her successful former president husband, are accused of racism. To top it all off, you then get told to immediately get over it and support the other guy.

That sucks, and the Obama campaign, and mostly his supporters, have absolutely done the wrong thing. He hasn't done nearly enough to convince Clinton voters, and some of his supporters have acted arrogantly towards Clinton supporters.

This all sucks, and I understand why that does not make people vote for Obama.

But, at the end of the day, it's about a choice between two candidates (I wish there were more viable ones, but there we are). One will more closely match what you want. You may not find it a good choice, but it still will be the better choice.

It's not about falling in line. It's not about unity. It's not about Democrats. It's about picking the better candidate (or worst of two evils, if you wish).

When I registered as a Democrat, there was no loyalty oath, no handbook that explained what rules I had to follow, no instruction about who I was to take direction from when it was time to vote.  

My right to vote was not granted to me by the Democratic party, and as such, it is mine to cast in accordance with my judgment, my values, my needs.  Doing my part as a Democrat does not extend to voting for someone as an alternative to being poked in the eye with a sharp stick - I will not be bullied into voting for someone I do not believe is qualified, and who has not shown me that he is a person of good character.

I am not someone who sees McCain as the alternative to Hillary Clinton, so I will not be voting for him, either.  McCain is, in his way, as mediocre and dangerous as Obama is in his - in my opinion - so I do not care to waste my vote on either of these people.

Yes, I supported Hillary because I thought she was the best candidate for the job, but I do not take orders from her.  She is in a difficult position, having the consequences of an Obama loss already being heaped on her shoulders; if she wants the ability to keep getting things done for the American people in her role in the Senate, I don't see her as having any choice but to be a good soldier.

My vote is mine. No changing of the "message" is going to change the unqualified to a qualified.

Do you want to see him nominate another conservative judge to the Supreme court?  

Don't walk around the questions...just how identified are you with the McCain policy points?  And, be realistic...if he gets elected, you're going to get a conservative judge, or two, or three...look at history; majority be damned, he'll get judges he wants.  

So, slap me down if you want, but answer those questions.  Because, if you truly believe in HRC's positions, and not just her, then you'd better realize that McCain isn't the guy for America.  And, no we DON't have a right to your vote, but we should expect it, if you're intellectually honest enough to admit that you don't support McCain's policies.
