Democrats Fully United
Hillary Clinton said today — in an online chat — that Democrats will be fully united this fall.
Question #9
Are you truly supporting Senator Obama and encouraging your supporters to do the same or are you just saying what you have to?

Answer: Let me first say, I am so grateful for all the support that I have received. To answer your question, I am completely committed to helping Senator Obama become the next President of the United States and urging all of you to do the same. We share a commitment to universal healthcare, bringing an end to the war in Iraq, and getting back to an economy that works for working families again. I believe so strongly that if we want to see real progress in our country and finally break away from the failed policies of the past eight years, we need a Democrat in the White House. I am going to continue to do whatever I can to help Senator Obama and Democrats across the country win in the November.
It’s good to hear that from Hillary. I hope her angriest supporters hear her. It’s time for them to move on and get behind Obama. Hillary is right, of course: It’s much more important to get a Democrat — Obama — into the White House. The differences that she and Obama had during the primary are minuscule when compared to the differences than Democrats have with McCain.
I’ve said before and I say again: A vote for John McCain (if you’re a Democrat and especially if you’re a Democratic woman) is a vote against your own interest.

Visit my threaded forum where we can all EASILY toss this idea around– of Hillary’s request to support Obama.
I for one KNOW that that is not going to happen because Obama is a truly flawed candidate– who WAS NOT MEANT to be pres by SOROS who handpicked him!!! — this entire Obama phenomenon is another ILLUSION– a HOAX– and there are tell tale SIGNS– it’s a psyop–
My threaded forum is the only SYSTEM OF online dicussion that can easily splce and dice ideas about this. Give it a whirl and invite othres. I couldn’t get posted on the Chat. Few could, but she has kicked off this medium– which in itself is pretty amazing.
Take it to the next level and meet other hillary chat blogters on my forum.
Phillossifur,
You sound suspiciously like a PUMA spammer, you know, the kind who roams blogs looking for anything about Hilary and then copy/paste a post.
Just a warning to other commenters, and a chance for rebuttal on Phil’s part.
Marc, thanks for the heads-up. If it’s a spam comment, it’ll be gone. But before I do that, I’d like to hear from Phil.
Everything Hillary has said since she has suspended her campaign has been perfect. She has handled this role with class.
However, there are still a group of HillBots that will not move on and would rather vote for McCain today (a horrible and selfish decision) in the hopes that Clinton will be back in 4 years.
Tonight, I read a couple of on-line stories that there are rumblings by these never-say-die Hillary supporters to converge on the convention in Denver in hopes of still nominating Clinton.
The number one reason why we must have a Democrat in the WH is to prevent anymore right-wing Supreme Court Justices. The Roberts and Alito disasters are for life.
Wow – I like the new header. Very nice.
It’s good to hear Hillary speak out. McCain in the White House would be a disaster for this nation.
Marc – thanks for the heads up. I was suspicious.
Yeah, well, I’ve had several blog run ins with the PUMApac. I pissed them off with a negative review of Harold Ickes one time and they decided to bomb my blog. Ever since I’ve had my nose out for them.
Despite what happens on the Democratic side, here’s a preview of what’s to come on the other side:

I’m much more blunt and to-the-point on why women should not support McCain on my blog. In fact, I have inaugurated the John McCain Female Woman Haters Club and I invite your readers to submit candidates for inclusion!
While Hillary has been a class act the past few weeks, the same cannot be said for her husband who is still fuming. While I understand his resentment at the attack to his legacy (by implying he’s a racist), I think Bill has never understood a simple fact. The 2008 election was not and is not about him. He needs to get over himself.
I agree fully with you, Rutherford, about both Bill and Hillary. I will be sure to check out your links, too.
