swords to ploughshares
hillary, her surrogates, and her supporters have to do what they think is right. they truly believe that hillary would be a superior president. surly, they only have the nation's best interest at heart. they only want what they think is best.

that's all well and good, however. if they can't get their first choice, i believe that they'll weigh the options between the remaining two, and come to vote for obama. well, most of them any way.

some might feel they've been hurt during this process. i'm sure that there are a lot hurt feelings, and a lot of bruised egos. but we can't let these selfish feelings hurt the country.

the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few.
i know it might be hard to vote for whom you've seen as the "enemy" for so long, but we really need to swallow our pride and do what's best for the country. and if you honestly think that's mccain over obama, get off this message board.

the phrase "swords to ploughshares" refers to turning instruments of war into tools that better civilization. hillary and her supporters, should this end in obama's favor, need to turn the weapons they've used against him into arguments that work for him. for the good of the party, for the good of the nation, please, do not let your bruised ego damage your logic.

poop.

1. I think Hillary only knows swords
Do some research on how much money she brings the military industrial complex up here in Northern New York.
