How many here support both candidates?

I was wondering how many DU'ers actually support both candidates. For example, are willing to give money to both and generally like both. Clearly a small minority, but just how small?

Won't even consider a vote for Hillary

That is great! Shows that a lot of us believe we have two great candidates.

update 1:
The percentage is falling now, but still encouraging.

replied to wrong post

because I felt that Obama's campaign was closer to Howard Dean's "50-State Strategy".

That said, whoever gets the Democratic nomination will have my vote in November. No Republikkkan or third-party bullshit for this voter!

As for $$$, I feel my money is better spent on helping the "down-ticket" candidates (Senator, Congress, Governor, state legislatures, etc) and rebuilding the state Democratic Parties. That's why I became one of Howard Dean's "Democracy Bond Holders" and Jim Dean's "DFA Trust".

:kick::kick:

I'll vote for whomever I'm forced to. It won't be McCain.

nomination.

Not very much. Obama has a slight edge, though.

Dennis Kucinich and John Edwards both have my full support.

So now I don't plan on being active if she gets the nomination. I won't give her money or time and maybe even my vote.

Obama gets the vote of 86% of respondents - Hillary gets the vote of 34% in the GE

that turn my stomach, that make me question whether I will be able to vote for him if he is the nominee.

I selected the supporting both option, because I hope that cooler heads will prevail.

I had to go to LBN to find out why we are on DefCon2, or something.

Why should Spitzer being morally challenged have anything to do with Hillary?

Are all Obama supporters going around with halos around their heads?

I'm okay with either of them as our nominee. Donated to Obama and wear the avatar.

Haven't donated to Hillary, but will if she's our candidate.

By support I mean willing to tell others something positive about each and willing to contribute to their campaign at some point.

Like in 2016? ;-)

I don't know if he could handle a major crisis in the United States. National security is a concern with Obama. Maybe he could get good advisors but he would still have to make a decision.

If national security is a very high priority, I do think it would have been wise to make someone like Wes Clark president because he really has a lifetime of national security and international relations experience and has been tested in battle (under crisis).

But there is a big step down from someone like Clark to both Clinton and Obama when it comes to national security. The biggest problem is that neither has directly served in either the military or a managerial role where they might have had to successfully manage a severe crisis. Such experience is very telling. For example, it should have been clear from George W Bush's business experience that he would not do well under crisis (unless you consider bankruptcy as an outcome doing well).

Minor experience in international negotiations or testimonials from knowlegable folks like generals (including Clark for Hillary) or secretaries of the navy/army/air force (like those who came out for Obama today) are helpful, but are not convincing, because they do not directly demonstrate the mettle of the leader. And even those who have been tested successfully like JFK in WWII still managed to make decisions that arguably could have led to WWIII (Cuban missile crisis).

However, both Hillary and Barack both are highly intelligent, seem fairly non-emotional, have strong social skills, are highly motivated and well read which gives them the right kind of background to make the correct decision in times of crisis. I think that is as much as can be hoped for.

Both Sen. Clinton, and Sen. Obama, are moderates, both have quite similar views. I am much further to the left than they are, but I wish for a Democrat in the White House. Impeach Bush and Cheney!

support Obama with a Hillary ticket but not a Hillary with an Obama ticket.

It that happens, McCain gets my vote.....

Of course, I prefer an Obama and someone else ticket.....but, I am not sure they could beat McCain without Hillary votes. Unfortunately, we need those little old lady Hillary huggers to put him over the top.

Then I was "in the tank" for Obama.

It's the "Hillary's way or the Highway!" gang that will
have to leave DU after the primary season is over because
McCain supporters won't be tolerated here.

I would have been happy to see a Clinton Obama ticket this year, but I admit it now looks unlikely.

I honestly believe Hillary would have the better chance of beating John McCain in November.

Not based only on current popularity, but based on how voters perceive the candidates.

I think most voters would trust Hillary on 1. the economy, 2. healthcare and 3. Iraq.

It bugs me that some of the media commentators have been especially unfair to Hillary.

Barack Obama has the potential to be a fine Presidential candidate. Maybe in 2016.

To varying degrees, I support seven out of the original eight
Democratic candidates; Clinton is the only one I *WON'T*
support under any circumstance.

And I *REALLY, REALLY* would support Gore were he to
enter the race.

It's a real shame we don't chose our candidate by
"acceptance voting"/"approval voting"; maybe we wouldn't
have ended up with the absolute last two on my list.

However, her tactics and her assumption of stupidity on the part of the voters make it harder and harder for me to say that every day. A prime example would be her floating the idea of Obama as VP despite her assertion that he is unfit to be Commander In Chief and then sending out one of her advisers to clarify that Obama just hasn't crossed the "threshold" yet. Presumably the "threshold" has less to do with national security and more to do with how much Obama kisses Hillary's butt in a concession speech. Then when Obama decisively shoots down the talk of him as VP she talks as if she and her husband never floated the idea in the first place.

Plus the fact that she knows she cant win since super tuesday and yet keeps this farce going just to weaken Obama in the GE.

Oh yeah and the three or four times she has endorsed McCain over Obama.:mad:

Let the freepers support Hillary, they both want McCain elected apparently.

Hillary gets nothing from me.

I voted for Obama, but I'll be quite pleased to support either candidate this Fall.
