Hillary Supporters Saying They'll Get There

By the end of the week, many of Hillary's diehards say they'll do what's best for the country and back Obama.

Just saw that clip on GMA and on NPR, Hillary supporters say Obama better give Hillary the silver medal or else they won't get on board. They say that they worked hundreds of hours campaigning for Hillary, so it's easy to see why they're upset.

But how about the flipside? How about the Obama supporters, who also spent hundreds of hours campaigning for Obama?

Up to this point, even though Obama won, (many of them clearly don't understand why Obama won, which is part of the problem), they haven't acknowledged that fact, and this election has been all about Hillary. 

Every Obama moment has also been a Hillary moment. But I see her diehards budging.

PUMAs will never back Obama. Many of them were republican to start and just wanted to see the first woman president.

This Nevada blogger, who is at the convention, says the numbers of Hillary supporters protesting are small. (fun pics.)

But its seems we're getting close to catharsis.

Meanwhile, the republicans are relishing the tensions, using a former Hillary supporter in a new ad. Because Hillary and McCain are so different, anyone who jumps to McCain has some other issue.

NPR: The two campaigns struck a deal on the roll-call vote, partly to appease the more than 1,500 pledged Clinton delegates who are at the convention.

Kagan, who circulated a petition to get Clinton's name on the convention ballot, says that while he'll vote for Clinton in the roll call, he will ultimately support Obama.

But Marquez says she does not support Obama at this point — and that she'll vote for Clinton in the roll call.

Marquez says that all the Clinton delegates stay in touch and communicate, and it's her impression that the majority at this point do not support Obama.

A new TV ad for Republican John McCain is targeted at that group.

"I'm a proud Hillary Clinton Democrat," a woman in the spot says. "Now, in a first for me, I'm supporting a Republican, John McCain." The Arizona senator, she said, has the experience and judgment for the job.

It remains to be seen how that message resonates with Clinton's supporters — and if it translates into votes in November.

Election in the Hands of Elitist Snobs

Obama has had to operate on two fronts -- raise money for his campaign and get his message out. 

Meanwhile, the meek democrats are not backing Obama as forcefully as they should be and the elitist snobs, the real ones with all the money, the ones who spend more money to attend a fundraiser than most people make in a year, are attending McCain's and Obama's fundraisers. 

It is they who will decide who wins (if we let them). Can you imagine the good things all that money could do? I wish Obama could just ignore the monied people and host $50 fundraisers. But I know that's not realistic. 

Right now, Hillary's elitist snobs are not that into Obama and are withholding their money and their support and making a mockery of what should be an easy election to win. As far as I can tell, Hillary is sending mixed messages and prompting her supporters to doubt Obama. I have lost all respect for Hillary Clinton. I'm hoping that none of their money will matter in the end. 

It's sad really. But just keep this in mind, Americans can withstand a McCain if it comes to that. We've made it through Bush, we'll get through McCain. It won't be pretty but it will likely be just four years. 

Can you tell I'm feeling a little down on this election this morning?
