Obama does not need to use the nuke to get nominated.

I am not stupid I know that there will be a great deal of Clinton supporters that will vote for McCain over seeing Obama the next president. That is expected. What is not acceptable however is some of the reasons some on this very forum have stated.

Yet the majority of them will move on. They will understand that Obama did nothing wrong to get the nomination. That he played the game and won. And I think they can hold their nose and vote for Obama rather than lose supreme court justices.

Now for Clinton if she gets the nomination normally. (70+ percent in ALL upcoming states followed by a switching of supers to her) Then the same thing will happen and Obama supporters will get over it.

The nuke option tho is MUCH MUCH MUCH different than that. It is extremely aggressive and political and fits the stereotypical political viewpoint. The pain of watching Obama defeated that way will install hatred for the democratic party in no way the republicans can even dream of.

Its the same as if Obama had held the committiee and used its power to give ALL the delegates from those states to him and none to anybody else when he is behind by 200 delegates. You know you would be outraged and angry and protesting and everything. You would feel the nomination was stolen.
