As one of the disenfranchised Florida voters (none / 0) (#42)

rose city,
As a fellow Clinton supporter and one of those disenfranchised Florida voters, I understand where you are coming from.

However, I would vote for Obama if he won the nomination.  The differences between Obama and Clinton are miniscule compared to the differences between either of them and McCain.

You are partially right.  One of the lessons of the 2000 election was that every vote should count.  However, another lesson is that there will be consequences to allowing the Republicans to win the election by sitting it out or wasting your vote.  Isn't eight years of Bush enough?

in November.  My personal impression is that I don't trust Obama to be a good president or that we are not going to regret it if he becomes president.

however, I don't think Obama is capable of doing the job. There is real work involved in the office of President, and he doesn't seem to work much. And I don't think he is as capable a legislator as Hillary is. Fortunately, I can vote the straight Dem ticket, there is a little box for that, so I am spared the necessity of actually checking off Obama's name on the ballot, should it come to that. I am not sure I could bring myself to actually do that.
