Week of June 1, 2008 - June 7, 2008

Are any TPM Hillary supporters actually going to vote for McCain?


I'm an Obama supporter since last December or so.  I decided then, though, that no matter which of the three leading candidates won the nomination, I'd most definitely throw my support and my vote behind him or her 100%

And if Hillary had won, she'd have indeed gotten both my support and my vote.

I wouldn't have been as excited and enthusiastic about it as I would have prior to last January, before the contest took some downward turns and the Clinton camp did some things which I found pretty dang objectionable.  But voting Republican is something I'd never have done.  No way.

Why?

1. The selection of Supreme Court justices
2. The war
3. Health Care
4. Economic Justice
5. Civil liberties in the post 9/11 age

Those are my top issues.  I could go on to others.  But the bottom line for me is that if I were to vote for McCain (or abstain from voting altogether) I'd be abandoning nearly all my core beliefs and principles.  So I wouldn't do it.  But that's just me, perhaps.

So now that Obama has officially become the "presumptive nominee", my question to the Hillary supporters here is:

Are any of you actually going to vote for McCain?
