145. Whatever that poll reflects, I'm not sure it has anything to do with whether Obama supporters
would vote for Hillary in the gen.

Probably, the poll to post in that regard would go something like, "Obama supporters, would you vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the Dem. nominee this year?"

I think that 28% probably reflects frustration at what has been a perception that at least once in the recent campaign, Hillary Clinton seemed to imply that she and John McCain are both somehow "qualified" to be President, while Obama is not.

A lot of people thought that particular statement crossed a line. Surely you see that.

I'll support the nominee, and I'll also say that anyone who WON'T support our nominee- WHOEVER he or she may be- is a flaming asshole. Because what is riding on this is bigger than either campaign or anyone's ego.

Pertaining to the subject at hand, though, I'm just personally tired of seeing this crappy, dumb-ass childish name-calling; be it "elites" or "latte liberals" or "white trash" or whateverthefuckitis done by people in my own party; i.e. folks I would think ought to know better.

Peace.
