If you say you're a Democrat, how is it that you could possibly vote for McCain if you oppose the Demo Nominee

Clinton and Obama stances are clear and very similar. They drastically differ from McCain's. Do explain.

    Baracka will destroy our country. It is already in trouble thanks to Bush. Clinton now or McCain in November. I have never voted Repubic before. Clinton and McCain are more similar that Clinton and Baracka. He is evil and a racist.

    He had divided the Dems, he has divided the races and he wants to divide the nation. He won't have my help to do it. Have you ever checked on his background?

    Sure, Clinton and Obama supporters are threatening to jump ship if their candidate doesn't make it... right now. But right now, people are in reactionary mode.

    The general election campaign will last more than five months -- that's as long as the primary campaign has been a real contest. So don't believe the hype that says the primary campaign is going to end up dominating the general election.

    By the time we get to November, the differences between the Democratic candidate and the Republican candidate will be very clear, and people will vote with their beliefs, not because of something that happened several months prior.

    I am not one of those people that are an avid backer of either party. Right now I am registered as a Democrat, next year I might just register as a Republican, depends on who is on the ticket of either party. I vote for the person, not the party. I don't blindly follow any party, I think before I vote! Perhaps both Democratic candidates have similar platforms, but there are slight differences, those differences do add up to make my choice for Clinton to be the nominee, if not, I sure as heck won't vote for Senator Obama!

    I think people should vote for the best candidate, regardless of party affiliation.

    Clinton and Obama stances maybe similar but their experience isn't. I have the same stances... can I be president too?!?!?

    One word:

    Experience.

    Obama will get walked all over on the international stage. We might as well have made the American Idol president.

    McCain is pretty liberal on a lot of issues: the environment, border enforcement, health care, use of torture and water boarding.

    He is no Bush clone- and those who say he is are ignorant. He and Bush are pretty far apart on a lot of issues.

    Clinton/McCain- Conservative

    Osama- Liberal. (hate them)

    just vote for who you think would be the best candidate. why do you have to stick voting for your party? vote for who YOU think is best, regardless of the party he/she is in.

    If Hitler ran on the democratic ticket, would you get in line?

    Dont like Obama...dont trust him, he's not noble, he's a mindf*uk*er. I don't support people that are an obvious disgrace to everything good I believe in.

    We aren't all Democrats and not all Democrats are party first voters. I might vote for Obama, but not Hillary. I think that most party Democrats will vote for whoever is the candidate.

    I'm a Republican who is unhappy with Bush. I would have voted for Clinton. I'm not unhappy enough with Bush to vote for the candidate with the training wheels.

    You never heard of Reagan Democrats.

    Joe Lieberman calls himself a Democrat, who is he voting for?
