I just wanted to say this: I am new to this whole political thing. You all have been fighting for Hillary for a long time now. I should have been. I missed the boat, but I am climbing in now. Please don't shut down the opportunity for those of us that may think we didn't do enough before or whatever. There are alot of us Hillary Democrats out here that didn't see Obama coming. We have been hit with the Obama mac truck and we are looking for that hope, and we feel we have a chance to fight before the convention. Some of us feel that we at least owe Hillary that much. I just wish that we could focus on getting Hillary to the top of the ticket until we can't possibly fight anymore. Then we all decide to "unify" behind the "party" or not.

I am deeply saddened by where this dialog is going.

First of all, I know that I am not and will not vote for Obama because of moral issues in which I feel he falls short of Commander In Chief material (cocaine use, ageism/sexism/racism/religious intolerance, plagiarism, lack of experience, foreign policy on Pakistan, etc.).  Not because of Hillary.  I would gladly get behind any of the other primary candidates...just not BHO.  I consider myself a Red Democrat!

Now I am attempting to intelligently research the various options available to me:
Vote for McCain
Vote for Nader
Vote for Barr
Hillary Write-In
Fight for Hillary ticket
Don't vote
Etc...

My only concern is this constant "you should/you must" vote for BHO stuff that is drowning out the "other" option discourse.

At this time I just started a meetup for those that are interested in exploring the "other than BHO" options.  For those that are interested in debating the options left...please feel free to join this group as well:  http://democrat.meetup.com/1216/

I will contribute and participate in this group but bullying the "unity" mantra doesn't sit we'll with me from those that I previously respected and admired.  We all come this choice on an individual basis and I for one will exercise my democratic vote to NOT vote for BHO as my conscience leads me.

CoreyAnn :)
