Here is a question to the Obama supporters out there: If Obama wins the pledged delegate count but party insider superdelegates still select Hillary as the nominee, what will you do?
Personally, I think a vote for Nader would be a great protest vote and would send a clear message to the DNC.
NB: I would vote for Hillary if she won fairly! (pledged delegate count)

I really do support Hillary, but I just don't think that superdelegates should elect her if Obama wins. Why primaries if there is no democracy in the end? Let people decide and then look if they were clever enough? That's not democratic. I just think that democrats should vote for the democratic party in November, not for Nader no matter what happens.He sure is a fine man, and it would be a great protest vote, but it's not worth 4 more years a republican in the white house. The thought of it makes me puke.

I would find it undemocratic and vote for Nadar. I would vote for Hillary though if she truly does win the nomination.

I would support Hillary if she won fairly, and by that I mean that she was given the superdelegates after she won the general delegate count. If she wins otherwise it would probably disenchant completely from politics. It would depress the hell out of me. I would lose all belief in our system.

I will vote for Nadar regardless.
The two-party system has caused our country great harm. We B*tch and complain about it, but when we actually have a chance to do something we become political sheep.
If you fear your Nadar vote will elect McCain instead of Hillary, what's the difference? She is just as bad. She's a fearmonger. I lost all respect for that lady.

I will sit out the election and change my party affiliation to Independent. I will have had it with the Democrats. They will have once again proven themselves to be political buffoons and I would cease association.
In this scenario, I'd like to see Obama abandon the party as well.

None of the choices listed. I would protest! Write letters to whomever has power to change that. Start a movement of people who will fight this abuse of power. Good Lord! We sit around complaining about this situation. It does no good! But if she were to steal the nomination, which we all know she's going to try, we would just roll over like whipped dogs and let her. And its not just her. Its many other politicians. Oh, we come on our internet message boards and complain all day. But when their is an abuse of power, we do nothing. This is why nothing changes. So yes, if she does steal the nomination, I'd probably go protest the convention. Hey, I know it probably wouldn't change anything, but at least I would have tried.
Sorry about the rant.

I will not support a Clinton dynasty. Who wants Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton? Don't really know who to vote for if she gets the nod. Hopefully that won't be a concern.

I'll most likely still vote for Sen. Clinton because I disagree that the Superdelegates are bound by the elected delegates, though I continuously have to remind myself that her supporters are not her.
