I wouldn't vote for her as dog catcher. I learned to despise Hillary back in the 90’s when she blew out best, greatest chance for real health care. I wouldn’t vote for her as dog catcher.

There has only been a couple of elections where I didn't have to chose between a douche and a turd. I’m a gdi wishing that a credible alternative would show up this race.

Maybe you've missed it, but those women (<a href="http://bagnewsnotes.typepad.com/bagnews/2008/05/your-turn-india.html" rel="nofollow">and their daughters</a>) have also been all over the news as well. This is one of the reasons given for her continuing to stay in the race, to give those women a chance to vote for "their" candidate. I certainly don't think it's a good idea to choose race or gender over, let's say, how well they'll run the country. But I do understand it. lezgull, but many Hillary supporters are voting for her just because she’s a woman.

NOT for his politics or his positions.But because he is himself african american. I find this incredibly annoying and ignorant. I would not vote for Clinton just because I am woman and so is she.

When this race began I felt pretty optimistic that we had some great candidates, and even though I've been behind Obama all along, that I'd be pretty happy if Clinton received the nomination. However, her attitude and tactics have repeatedly offended me to the point that I'd possibly vote for McCain over her (unfortunately, even McCain has lost my respect over the past few months). This was Clinton's nomination to lose, and she sabotaged it herself. But Fiver is right - the Clinton supporters themselves have been less actively vocal about any dislike of Obama, than Obama's have been of Clinton. And that is a shame.
