Come on, on the issues Hillary and Obama are much closer than Hillary and McCain, yet some still find themselves reluctant to support Obama?  Give me a break if this person had one ounce of intelligence then the choice should be easy, of course all of this is much more complicated in the case of the Rothschild, with their wealth because they realize electing Obama means higher taxes.  And then when you put it in that frame of reference her arguement is simply one of chossing the better candidate based simply on money rather than substance.  Many of us do not come from such priveledge backgrounds, many of us do not want to aquire great wealth, many of us simply want the goverment and our communities to make better decisions when dealing with the issues we face such as poverty, global climate change, foreign diplomacy and our economy.  On all of these subject matters Obama\'s plans are much more equitable to the majority of Americans, so when you say that some of Hill\'s biggest donors are having a hard time finding out who they should support then the issues are not one of simply choosing a candidate who best reflected Hillary\'s stance on the issues but some other facet which is not explored in this article.</div>\

I don\'t understand how a Clinton supporter can actually support McCain, just because Obama didn\'t select Clinton as his VP. Are those 21 percent of Clinton supporters really that juvenile? Sure, there is going to be a singular person who ends up in the White House, but the choice of that person should be based on policy and personality, not animosity over a lost primary election. And the person is not as important as the policy, which Clinton and Obama\'s are very similar. This was actuality commented on numerous times during the primary, where Clinton and Obama didn\'t have enough points to contrast with each other because their policies were so similar. <br><br>And I totally agree about de Rothschild. she sounds like a stubborn Clinton cheerleader who is too bullhead to admit that Obama and Clinton really aren\'t that different.</div>\

If you put the number of votes both of them received, 36 million and compare it to the app. 110 million votes in 2004 -- and there will be many more this year -- you realize the struggle that is out there.  Obama is a cypher to most while McCain is dubbed the maverick and the straight talk express even though it\'s been shown he is neither.  That\'s what\'s stuck to him and it will be tough to sully that ill-gotten moniker. After all, if you didn\'t know it, he was a POW in Viet Nam!<br><br>It\'s funny when posts here say that "Obama supporters will never vote for Hillary" because of the negative divisiveness of her supports at the convention and primaries.  This is the biggest example of the pot calling the kettle black.  HRC\'s supporters will vote for Obama en masse.  Don\'t believe the MSM that goes after, and creates, conflict to get ratings.  And you people fall for it.  Those puma and others are Rovian plants.  Shameful that Chris Matthews gave them any air time but you can see these people are few and they are insane.  They are not Democrats and they never supported Hillary.  We can start groups that say they are leaving the RNC if McCain is nominated because he is a fraud a liar, misanthrope, sexist and wrong on almost every policy.</div>\
