... That for every (pardon the language, but it fits) asshat who decided to vote for Obama in the primaries to keep Hillary from the nomination but plans to vote for the Republican nominee in the GE, there are a million people like your coworkers who are voting their conscience, voting for the person they best think can lead the country, and will be voting in the GE for that same candidate. I honestly can't believe that the "Hillary Hate" is so strong that more than a few people who have crossed party lines to vote for Obama will betray him in the GE.

I may support Hillary, but I have said from the beginning that I will support our nominee. We NEED a Democrat in the White House, and with McCain all but crowned as the Republican nominee, we need all the strength we can get.

If Obama gets the nomination, I plan to work as hard as I can to ensure that "youthful voters" continue to be mobilized. We will need their numbers. McCain generally is favored by conservative-leaning Independents. He doesn't have much of a hold over his Republican base, which may lead to somewhat lower turnout for him, but we can't count on that.
