I hate Clinton more then McCain on personal issues, and i hate McCain more then Clinton on policy issues. Either way ill be voting for Obama in the fall.

You can't use Clinton's criticism's of your favorite candidate against her.

If it weren't for that, I'd probably like her more than McCain. However, because of that, I like her less. As Musgrove states, however, it's at a personal level. I'd much rather have a beer (or boilermaker) with McCain than with Clinton. However, if it came down to it (and I don't think it will), I'd much rather have Clinton as president than McCain.

Loathe is not a strong enough word, but I loathe the Clintons more than McCain because they are trying to demolish the only realistic hope of changing our nation's totally corrupt system of governance. That hope, in our sad little universe, is wresting the Democratic Party from the grip of the DLC. God knows I can't blame John McCain for the DLC. Besides, Hillary makes up stuff, and I'm pretty sure she's a bitch, and I hate that.

I'm a lot madder at Clinton than McCain right now because, first, McCain's appointed role is to hurt the Democrats and hers isn't, but she's doing it; and second, frankly, just because she's the opponent right now. I'm saving my anti-McCain feelings until after HRC concedes. But I know that even that goddamn Clinton will be way better for the country than McBush, so no question who I would vote for between her and him. Which isn't going to be an issue, unless they're both alive and running in 2016.

Why don't I like Hillary Clinton?

1. Instead of running on her own record as senator, she's running on her husband's record. Have you heard Bill when he gives speeches for her? Talking about how great HE was, so that's why we should elect her? Why? Should I apply for a job as a doctor, even though I have no medical degree or experience practicing medicine but think listening to him talk about surgery at the dinner table, and having more than an average working knowledge of disease makes me qualified?

2. She runs on her husband's record, except when it's not to her benefit. Her defense on Nafta is she wasn't president and she doesn't agree with him. But, she's running for president on his record. Shouldn't then she be responsible for his ENTIRE record, including his lying, his sexual harrassment, his trade deals?

3. She stole from the White House.

4. She's destroying the Democratic Party for her personal gain and running as a Republican in order to try to get her way.

5. She's a liar.

6. She has no moral integrity.

I'm not a super fan of Obama's. But he's way better than she is.

I definitely despise McCain, whereas with Clinton it's more of a distaste/disappointment. I think it's important that you also ask this of Clinton supporters re. Obama, though -- the statistics were about equal for both sides, weren't they? Don't let your Clinton worship get in the way of your answer. ;)

I'm mad as hell at what Hillary is doing right now.

Not only is she working overtime hardening voters against Sen. Obama, her behavior is turning housands of people off the Democratic party, people that had given up on politics, but that because of Sen. Obama came under the tent and dared to believe that the Democratic party could be once again the party of ideals, the party of the people, the party that doesn't just play politics to win at all costs.

That the DNC leaders are letting this go one ONE MORE SECOND is reprehensible.

I'm mad as hell that Hillary's whole campaign strategy involves destroying everything that Sen. Obama has worked for more than a year to do.

And you just have to see this:

I think the entire debate is interesting but irrelevant.

The polls are simply not accurate. I would venture to guess there are a great number of BO/HC supporters that would indeed shift to the other democrat, BUT STILL claim they would vote McCain simply because they want to have it become an issue or factor in the election.

Time heals a lot of wounds, and democratic in-fighting won't be nearly as bad half a year from now.

At the moment, I don't loathe either. This will probably change in the next ten minutes, but for now, I'm content.

I am disappointed in Clinton for keeping Penn around and a number of her missteps and, yes, lies. I have been very disappointed in Bill.

I'm disappointed in Obama for his passive- aggressive attacks on Clinton that make it look like she's the attacker. It's rather subtle, I suppose, but to me it's extremely obvious. I think he has been able to portray her in the worst terms via these underhanded psychological attacks that usually look like mild-mannered statements.

So I have no illusions that Obama is "above the fray." The real liberals who have stood for principle have been Kucinich, Edwards and maybe Dodd. Both Clinton and Obama are corporatist politicians, period. Both of them have tons of money from Wall Street, and he has tons from ADM, a huge global corporation that is backing biofuels that are worse for the environment than gasoline.

But I will support whomever is the nominee because nothing would be worse than another 4-8 years of warmongering Republicans.

Clinton or Obama supporters who won't vote or won't vote for the Dem candidate regardless are handing the next eight years to the Republicans. Some may not think it could get worse than it is, but they are wrong.

I dislike Hillary more than McCain because I really don't believe what she says. I think (much like Bush did) she'll make a bunch of campaign promises then do something else once in office... then hold press conferences to explain her change in position.

I think her policy strategy can be summarized like this - It's much easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Although I think McCain is fundamentally wrong on so many issues, I think he can be trusted to follow through with what he says - that makes the fight fair.

As for Hillary - it's impossible to have a fair debate/fight on anything if you don't REALLY know what your opponent intends. I do believe she is competent, (although her campaign has shown otherwise) I just don't think that's enough.

Finally, I don't believe the U.S. Presidency should be a royal succession - G.W. Bush proved that - just because you are related to a president doesn't mean you should be one too. I think there is a two-term limit for a reason, and having an ex-president return to the white house as first spouse - isn't an experiment I think we should undertake.

325 million people in this country, we need to choose someone other than a relative of an ex-president.

Good question on either side, RSL--why would either Obama or Clinton supporters vote for McCain (or, almost as bad, simply not vote) rather than vote for the other side in November? I honestly hope that the majority of people saying so will overcome their upset in time to keep American from another four years of Republican rule. I hope I could, should Clinton win, manage it. Some days I don't think I could. I suspect that were Clinton to get the nomination, especially if she did so by convincing superdelegates to overturn the delegate and popular vote lead Obama has, the only way I could vote for her would be if Obama made a damn good reason to do so--not because I "worship" him (that really is an insulting word choice) but because in my mind he would be the wronged party, even more than the Democrats, and thus have the most credibility in any follow-up argument.

So, do I hate Clinton more than McCain? Right now I do. That doesn't mean I'd vote for McCain--as others have said, I hate his policies more than I hate hers. But hatred isn't cerebral, it's emotional.

I could list all the (IMHO) divisive or entitled comments that have soured me toward her across the last few months, but you've probably had more than enough of that. A huge reason I strongly dislike her is because I believe she cheats--if not the letter, then the spirit of the rules--as in FL and MI, when she didn't complain about them not being seated until she was losing. The Clinton campaign also disputed the Texas "two-step" primary/caucus mix, after it became clear that she might lose because of the caucus side, despite that her campaign manager had helped set up the system almost two decades earlier.

I had a personal experience with this play-the-rules the Texas senatorial district conventions last month. The last day to present challenges to the precincts was Wednesday, and Clinton supporters brought a huge stack of challenges over at 5 pm on Wednesday. Then on Saturday, the day of the conventions, our district of less than 200 precincts had 87 challenged precincts to go through before we could get to business. A Clinton supporter moved that, because resolving these challenges would take hours, we simply split the delegates of the challenged precincts right down the middle; 50% for Clinton and 50% for Obama. Luckily, this motion got voted down. Twice.

So instead of being done by 2:30, as planned, we finished at 7:30--and were one of the earlier conventions to finish, as it turns out this tactic had been used across the state. In the end, Obama got a third more delegates than Clinton, and the caucuses turned Texas from a Clinton to an Obama state. But I was there. I saw her brand of politics in action. And I am not sure I want to be a part of a campaign that tries to "win" in that way.

But the main reason I currently hate her is because I am so deeply disappointed in her. She's the first woman presidential candidate to have had a real shot, and I do hope I live to see a woman president someday--but not this one. She has proven herself willing to tear the party apart with negativity (and I do think the Obama side has been relatively quiet about the Tuzla and Columbia issues) just to show that she's a fighter, and I'm tired of leaders who fight for the sake of fighting. We need some peace.

Those whom we could most easily love are, in the end, easiest to hate.

McCain is a non-issue to my emotions unless he becomes president.
