I can say that the ones on here that insist on division, how can you say you really believe what Obama says he wants to do??? Unity, remember???
Hillary Clinton did what no woman in history has ever done before and she should be given respect for that.
She will work her heart out to unite her supporters, just like she said she would do, but just because she does that, does not mean everything is alright and Obama will sail to the finnish line.
He limped to win, he only did it because of the SDs well he will not have them at the general election.
There is still a core of folks he will have to win to win the white house, if you think it will be easy you are wrong.
If you really want change then act like it.
Let me say just this...
"Please do not judge Obama by his supporters!" Some of them are VERY divisive and simply do not realize that we need YOUR vote just as much as any!!!

No. I think she will redo what she missed during her campaign, i.e. "do the right thing" so that she can win more popularity in four years.

You have to understand that there are many people that before she eveb ran can't stand the Clinton's. There conduct in these passed months have not changed that in many people. I responded to a post on a site where many people give there view point and I'm what a idiot like someone said. Like those who supported Clinton and will have a hard time voting for Obama. Those that didn't support her don't like her. I was right there on Tuesday wanting to hear from her some support for Obama for what he did that night and hoping to see a gracious person so I could see her in a better light that didn't take place. When the speech was done even CNN people had their mouths open. A e-mail came from the Clinton camp saying that this was her night. It wasn't. So I guess I will need to move forward myself. I support Obama right from the start and it isn't because I don't like the Clinton's. I do though want to see her actions not her words in what she does to support him moving forward. As many said she missed her time Tuesday, mabe today was better. Either way we have a candidate and I think many will support me on this, that it is good to have Obama and McCain finally and move forward to November.

I am not judging Obama by some of his supporters,
I am saying that the ones that insist on this BS will cause harm to him.
I am sure Obama wants his supporters to grow up and act like somebody, instead of this crap.

The pundits of course blasted her, they always blast her.
She had just won her last state in a primary that she worked her heart out on for 16 months.
There was nothing wrong with what she did, had it been the other way around, Obama would have done the same thing and I sure would not have gotten upset about it.
She did nothing wrong.
People demand that she jump hoops, I myself do not jump hoops, so why would I expect her to??
Yes, we all are going to need to come together.
If we can not come together here on this stupid thread, then how as a country can we come together??
Otherwise, it does not matter who is elected.

Hillary didn't kiss Obama's anything. She did what every loyal Democrat should do (even if it was a bit belated).

The thread is a insult to Democrats who want to end the policies of the last 7 years. I hope you aren't a Democrat, because such wording does nothing to help bring about party unity.

as a Obama supporter I take my hat off to Hillary today for a great speech and endorsement. People forget that these canidates are emotionally invested in these campaigns and so are thier supporters. It is sad to hear some Hillary supporters say they will vote for McCain as a form of protest when really a vote for McCain is a slap in the face to what Hillary stands for. Whatever the outcome Hillary & Obama agree on almost 99% of everything with the difference being personality. If the tables were turned and Hillary was the nominee you would have to TORTURE me before I would even consider voting for McCain. Please people our future is at stake not the pettiness of our emotions.

No one is voting for McCain as a form of protest vote. McCain has a lot of qualities that are very attractive to a lot of Independents like myself. I am supporting Hillary, not the democratic party, so I am not obligated to vote for any Democratic Party's nominee.
