About that working together after the candidate is chosen...
can someone explain to me why so many people are afraid that if they don't support Senator Clinton now, they will be shut out completely later should she be the nominee?

1. Because after (Shudder) she gets our nomination she can start seriously running for the rePIGlickin
votes. Her corporate masters will be unchecked for another 4 years minimum.

3. Really!
I feel that this is the last real fight Democrats have to stop the madness. If we can't break the Bush/Clinton cycle this time around we are goners and should plan on moving underground until they come for us. It sounds weird because on the outside I am a normal person with a business and community interests, on the inside the scream prevails that things are not good here in the US of A. Peace, Kim

2. unless she does not cow tow to
the Israeli lobby, Big Pharma, and Bush's donor lists for four years ago; then all she will get is our vote. Don't need to worry about working together. Our vote is more than enough. Unless she gets the message of those offended her unapologetic Iraq vote; then she should be happy to just get our vote. We'll hope she will hear our message rather than triangulate with the right. We shall see. It's up to her.

4. "So many people..."
Are they friends of 'some people?' You know, as in "Some people say..." or "Some people feel/believe..."

That's the first I've heard of that. I'm in no hurry to endorse. I've got time yet.

Candidates are always 'considerate' of those who have been with them the longest. But at the end of the day, they ally themselves with those who can do them the most good.

Even if they were a little late to the dance.

Look at LBJ and JFK. They were hardly best pals, but when it came time to cobble together a powerhouse ticket, they managed to overcome their differences and keep an eye on the prize.
