I will votew for her. And if Obama can win the election, despite the fact that a bunch of democrats on the left and the right have always, and WILL always hate him, then Hillary should be able to do the same.

But just as the Hillary folk used every weapon of war, every labeling of someone as a "sexist", every demonization of the "young folk", then I will bring out every gun in ,my arsenal to make sure that someone to her left wins, or failing that, to make sure she knows that her survival depends on making affirmative, clear moves to the left, and that her failure to do so will result in agony!
