It took her a very, very long time, but Hilary has now finally backed Obama and is FINALLY encouraging her followers to do so too (she should have done that significantly sooner).

What is unfortunate about our bipartisan government is that you really don't have much of a choice. If you truly backed Hilary, then your only option is to simply vote with party lines. Mccain is a jingoistic warmonger who, even though he spent years being tortured in a prison camp rolled over on the topic of torture to please his party.

I initially thought that McCain has absolutely no chance in this election. But looking at polls and thinking about the thousands of backwards bigots in America makes me fear that we might actually have another four years of Bush (that's right - Bush - McCain is turning onto Bush's agenda to snag his votes).

Honestly - I try to stay open-minded and try not to criticize people for their opinions. I'm a bleeding heart social liberal who has some serious fiscal conservative leanings. As long as people can back the way they vote (ie Republican), then more power to them.

But to say that you're a Hilary supporter and don't know what to do - you'd be foolish not to vote with party lines. A vote formerly going to Hilary now going to McCain... is counter-intuitive. And to not vote at all - Is equally foolish.

Not trying to criticize you, Pinky - I am just constantly frustrated with Hilary supporters who are not backing Obama. Bipartisanship sucks, I agree, but it's currently the only political system that we have.
