If Obama doesn't get the Hillary Supporters, is it because?

Question

Is it because her supporters remember when he nonchalantly gave her the middle finger during one of the debates? Was he showing lack of respect towards Hillary and does he think it all behind now.

Is he getting that finger ready again for Hillary's supporters?

Answer 1

Obama will get the Hillary supporters who believe in reproductive freedom, universal health care, and an end to the Iraq War.

I can't imagine why any true supporter of Hillary's would support McCain.

Answer 2

Hillary supporters can read between the lines.

Hillary spoke only of the things she personally promoted during her campaign and never, during her speeech, endorsed Obama.

Hillary only stated that she supported Obama's efforts to implement the issues SHE personally supported.  

Answer 3

Yes, I think Hillary supporters are doing that to him these days.

Answer 4

He didnt give her the middle finger

Answer 5

Shrillary's sheeple are a little smarter than the Republicans think.

They may talk a tough talk, but when push comes to shove in November, they won't be stupid enough to vote for McCain.

Answer 6

It is because of people like you that spread lies that morph into insanity as the lies get passed from one person to another.

Answer 7

Sorry to break it to ya, but the Hillary supporters will support Obama - much to the chagrin of Republicans.

Answer 8

That is one reason.

The first reason Hillary supporters will not support Obama is because we actually like McCain.  Hillary and McCain are both moderates and McCain is more like Hillary than Obama -- by far.

The second reason is the total lack of respect the DNC and Obama have shown to women, beginning with Hillary.  

Answer 9

Not really.  I would imagine that he won't get any Hillary supporters because he falls short of the experience and leadership abilities that Hillary Clinton held so dear to.  Granted, Joe Biden does bring experience to the ticket, but Joe Biden isn't exactly Hillary Clinton.

Answer 10

That is not so.  If anyone has been disrespectful and  is putting forth disrespect it has been Ms.Clinton, If any one would stop that from voting for him it explains why we have such a looser president.  Obama has been generous to Clinton paying off her high debt when she should have bowed out gracefully instead of giving false hope. In any case he will put her in a great position which the VP is a great title but she will get more done with health care.  She is a greater woman then she gets credit for, she would not have backed Obama running for office in IL if she knew he was not capable. She should have run in 2004, but no matter shoulda woulda coulda we need to keep McCain out , he will be worse for AMerican then Bush. Once upon a time McCain had integrity maybe , but he does not have Americas future on his agenda, I guess when you are old, have much money, are going to die and don't need to worry about your offspring being able to make it, he could care less about the future, it is obvious that his actions don't show he is a humanitarian like Clinton's and Obamas .  Biden even said about himself that he only makes less then 109,thousand a yr as a senator and if it only paid minimum wage he would still do it and get antoher job, we need good leaders not  after high school prom queens    

Answer 11

No. It's because Hillary is smarter than Obama, and her followers know it. They know she doesn't like him, and is only pretending to support him because of the Democratic Party. Hillary has a plot, and doesn't want Obama to win, because her chances at the Presidency in 2012 will be shot. She wants McCain to win now, knowing more likely than not he can only be President for One term, then she will get her chance after 4 years, to be the Spider Republicans know she is now.

Answer 12

There will be the few Hillary supporters that will hold a grudge, but the intelligent ones will come to realize that voting for McCain is not a substitute for Clinton.

Just watch and you will see everything unfold like poetry come november. Nice try but sorry. Get your depression meds before you vote, because Obama will smoke McCain like a cheap cigar.

Two months is a long time for reality to sink in.

--------------------------------------...

Philip H: did we listen to the same speech. She mentioned Obama at least 10 times. But then again, you OBVIOUSLY heard what YOU wanted to hear.

Answer 13

Heres a shock, maybe Hillary supporters liked her plans, her history, her abilties and thought she would do the best job for the majority of the country.

McCain can't fill her shoes, and neither can Obama, but I'd rather have a Dem than a Rep, and thats about the only choice they have left me.

So no, I'm not thrilled with Obama, hes got my vote, but not my support.  I don't think the Reps deserve to continue in power as they have handled it poorly.

Answer 14

Nope, not yet because he needs them.  They are planning on changing their course of action though, realizing that old "change" rhetoric is only pleasing the kiddos that are supporting him and not educated adults:

Howard Dean says that Obama will change his message of "change" for general election. That would mean they've cranked up the focus groups again.

Answer 15

Both, Hillary and Bill, have said: this man is not ready to be the president. Yet, they  are both standing with the party, And throwing America under the Bus. In others words they are telling me. Heck with  america  and the dangers it faces, let this man be the leader of it anyway.and  bring unity back to the party.  The Party, The Party.  to heck with their party  America, we have been bamboozled by The liberal democrats  again.
