Whereas Hillary supportes might have heard the speech and wonder why if Hillary came so close and was so brilliant tonight wasn''t she offered VP by Barack? How could he be so dismissive of what she brings to the national scene - vehicle for shattering the glass ceiling, voice for the blue-collar, effective attack dog against McCain/Bush/GOP, able to articulate a Dem vision and persuade people to believe it is achievable...and if he isn''t able to do those things himself than is there a danger he doesn''t even realize what it is he doesn''t know? Hillary supporters also seemed to notice she didn''t vouch for his lack of experience - a concern many of them share.

Like I''m still picking up a fundamental divide between a good chunk of Hillary supporters and Barack supporters and how they think. Maybe more Hillary supporters WILL later decide to vote for Barack because he''s a Dem. But maybe they won''t either - who knows...

I say vote for McCain and make sure that the democrats have the power to control congress to override his vetoes. Let him have the title just not the power. Hillary made an amazing speech for Obama and nobody could have expected more. Sen. Hillary Clinton is an extraordinary women and she hit it out of the park.

I will not vote for Obama because I have my own opinions and thoughts that cannot be changed because someone else has decided to endorse their competitor.

The other solution is to write in your candidate of choice Al Gore or anyone else you decide. Just have many people write in the same candidate you need to make the numbers happen. It needs to be a we. Don%u2019t allow these political party%u2019s to force you to vote for people you do not like or agree with. Take back your country and your vote - make it count!!! Don%u2019t sit home on election day!!!

Reasons I won''t vote for Obama:

1. His lack of judgement regarding Reverand Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers of WeatherUnderground

2. Not enough experience and Equal Opportunity Employment doesn''t apply to the most powerful job in the world.

3. True leaders take a stand -(You can''t vote PRESENT in the Oval Office). How come as editor of the Harvard Law Review he contributed no articles? A little too shady for my tastes.

4. He''s using the same CHANGE/HOPE message that his friend Deval Patrick (1st black governor of Massachusetts) used and Deval Patrick hasn''t delivered on his promises.

5. I don''t trust him

Which Hillary do we believe? The one 2 months ago that said Obama is inexperienced and he was a roll of the dice security wise? or the one tonight in a 12 minute speech said she now fully supports him? Do average middle America fall for this rhetoric? I, as a bitter small town american, didnt. But I like god, guns, and family, unlike the Liberals.

What a fraud. Hillary would be an ex-first lady puttering in her garden if it were not for her husband *** around with Monica. Hillary''s whole claim to fame was based on being the violated little wife, when in fact it was her thunder thighs that chased Bill to Monica in the first place.

Did you know that McCain will privatize Social Security? Like that plan? Wall Street does. Wall Street brokers stand to make TRILLIONS off this warmed-over McBush plan.

That%u2019s McCain%u2019s gift to Wall Street.

Thats okay, his servants will be taking his Social Security check to the bank every month to deposit for him, so he doesn''t have to worry about it.
his servants will also take his monthly Navy Pension check to the bank for him.
He will also take his Senate pay of 185,000 dollars a year, even though he hasn''t bothered to show up for work in a year.

Some people pay taxes to keep this country running.
The ones who do really well are the ones who learn to live off the taxpayers.
