Hillary backers come to defense of Palin

POLITICO


Obama did this to himself by NOT picking Hillary and her 18 million voters. I'm not a big Hillary fan, but give the devils her dues - she should have been the Dem nomination not Obama. Obama didn't win any of the big states that Hillary ruled. Now they (PA, OH, FL, WI) are all in play for Sarah and McCain.

Many Hillary supports in my democratic county are voting McCain/Palin. Some because of Palin, others just think Obama is not the real deal. People will vote for a hero with experience over over a self-promoting egomaniac who encourages class warfare.

WomenCount, you're a great group of people! I wish there were more decent people like you. As a Hillary supporter, I couldn't stomach the way she was treated by the media. Thanks for seeing that this doesn't happen again to other women, this time, to Sarah. It's Obama's problem to get the women's vote - not Hillary's. And I hope Hillary never allows herself to be used by the Obama campaign to attack Sarah.

As I have watched this election unfold, beginning with the corruption in the democrat party with its setting up the dates of the primaries in favor of obama, it's selection and ramrodding of obama down the democrat primary electorate voters throats, and with it's total disrespect shown to democrat women overall and most notably to Senator Clinton, not to mention the electorate in the states of Florida and Michigan. I have watched the party I supported my entire life make a sham out of this political process. I have watched the democrat party select an inexperienced and unqualified liberal, racist, socialist, marxist nominee, who has anti-American, corrupt associations. In contrast I have watched the republican party elect an honorable man that has worked his entire life for America, he has worked across party lines for the good of the electorate, and he has always demonstrated that he has America's interest at heart. Given the choice between the two, I will vote MCCain / Palin this election cycle, and not only that, I will vote for the republican ticket straight down the ballot. I will use my ballot to demonstrate my complete and utter disgust with the democrat party. It is time for change alright; it's time to put all of those corrupt liberal career politicians out the door. Used2bdemocrat
