Hillary’s female supporters are practical. And although many of us—myself included—were invested in seeing the first qualified woman run this country, we’re not so stubborn to leave the Democratic party in the dust, are we? Barack Obama’s platform is very similar to Hillary Clinton’s. We’re excited about Obama—but more important, we’re hopeful of our nation’s future, too.
Goodbye Hillary, Hello Obama

Teddie, I have to agree, I am not absolutely not a hillary lover either at all, I do even run right, but it is mostly because I believe in doing the right thing. Obama, am continually seeing more and more to not have any scruples whatsoever, but I think Hillary would have been even worse. I least she would'nt have been secretary of state though. I wanted McCain to win, he has given so much for his country, almost his life. I truly believed if anyone could have done better it would have been him. I am sorry he will probably not have another chance.
Maybe not all, but the majority of those 18 million Hillary voters are disgusted with the primary election season (that, technically isn't over until the convention is held in August. Surprised?). We are not pleased that the candidate who got the most votes isn't THE candidate. We are not pleased that the only reason accepted by Obama's fan club as to why we don't want to vote for him is because we are racists. We are not pleased that of the four states who voted before the "opening bell" only two were punished; Obama won the other two states. We are not pleased by the Obama aplogists who insist on unity now after they did everything possible (some of it illegal) to divide the party. We ask questions like, why did he choose to run this year with his limited national exposure; how is he qualified with his 143 actual days in national office; where are his political/civic actions to review; how cynical is he to leap to the right two days after his presumed win? Just asking.
Come on darlin, unfairly ... don't be naive! The Clinton machine is a strong force that Obama needs to get elected. It will take the full backing of Clinton supporters and money allies for Obama to defeat McCain in November.
Thanks for informative article.I think Hillary has achieved a huge accomplishment for women just by running.Unfortunately there is a contigency out there that highly dislikes her and I DO wonder how much of that is because she is a woman vying for a position of power that is traditionally held by men.
