I'm curious as to whether or not some democrats will vote Republican
is Obama get the nomination? I sure hope not, but I wonder...

I like Obama and would vote for him. I also like Hillary and would
vote for her. Whoever gets the nomination, I am with them as long as
they are a democrat.

You think there is any chance of both being on the same ticket?

I'm a lifelong Democrat who will vote for John McCain.

It's a certainty that given the vitriol in the Clinton-Obama primary races,
some of the loser's supporters will defect to McCain in November just as some
hard-right conservatives will stay home rather than vote for the more
moderate McCain.

I am an ex-Republican and ex-Democrat and now independent. I will *never*
again vote Republican. Would vote for Obama or Hillary. Then again, I
just may vote libertarian.

Why? I know you prefer Clinton. So do I. But if I were qualified to
vote in a US election, and Obama won the Democratic nomination, I'd
probably vote for him. I'm spooked by his relative lack of
experience, but if he surrounds himself with highly qualified
appointees and good advisors, I'm sure he can get by.

Let's just wait and see who gets the magic number of 2025 delegates
first. After that the primaries are moot.

McCain has absolutely no intention of withdrawing from Iraq and I
don't think the majority of Americans are going to vote for him. But
I'm glad for his sake that his party is finally standing behind him.
If only they had done so in previous primaries...

My husband and I will either vote Republican or not vote at all if
Obama is the Democratic nominee.

For the reasons you state. I don't want someone who only relies on
apointees and advisors; I want someone with the experience necessary
to assess what their advisors are suggesting, whether or not it's
realistic and viable, etc. Clinton is a well-rounded candidate who
knows how to work with the people in power to provide solutions for
the people on the ground.

I think they will vote for him. He, like Clinton, embodies American
Values. They are hard-working people who've earned their way to the
top. Anyone who can emerge from a prisoner of war camp to become a
president fills the world with hope in their most hopeless of times.
Same for Clinton. What the media is putting her through....she might
as well be tied up and gagged. She's a real trooper.

He has more experience than G W Bush had at the same stage.

No even close...Bush was a two term governor (read chief executive) of a
state with the third largest economic engine in the nation as well as being
a border state.

Deb,
Don't you think his lack of experience could be a good thing? Maybe
that means he has not been corrupted by the Washington political
machine, owes no favors to anyone and can offer a fresh perspective on
things? Let's face it, he couldn't be any worse than Bush and where he
got us with his stupid, unnecessary war and its cost both financially
and in human life (4000+)
Sadly, I think the real reason a lot of people will not vote for him
is because of his skin color. You know it and so do I. Being a white
male, his skin color means nothing to me; I am impressed with his
words, intentions, and I hope he can pull it off. Also, America has a
great candidate who happens to be black. Think of the positive points
of his being elected as far as inspiring black youth that yes, they
too can be president. Imagine the pride this would bring to black
people. It is about time and long overdue.
The same applies to Hillary and women. I have absolutely no problem
voting for a woman to run this country. To think otherwise is just
idiotic. Things in America are changing and will continue to do so. To
think otherwise will not stop this rapid political evolution.

Who do you think he might pick as a running mate and please be serious

Depends. Both Clinton and Obama were going to be meeting with
Edwards, separately, of course, to try to persuade him to support
their campaign. I guess it depends on what he wants and which one of
them offers it.

Do you really think Edwards would accept an offer from either to be
VP? He ran with Kerry and they lost.

But there are more things to offer than just VP. Cabinet postions,
ambassadorships, other postions of power, etc.
