Poll question: For those of you still ardently supporting...
...the Hillary Clinton campaign, please view the linked video and then indicate to what degree you share the sentiments of the woman speaking on a 1 to 10 scale, 1 being "not at all" and 10 being "to a great degree."

1. Every candidate has stupid supporters
How much do you agree with Obamagirl on a scale of 1 to 10? Who cares?

3. I agree
There are extremists and then there are sane Democrats.

10. Which raises an interesting question...
...how do we identify what kind of opinions qualify as "extreme?"

If this woman had expressed all the same bitterness that she did in the video, but at the end suggested she would be voting for Nader and urged others to do the same, would you still consider her an extremist?

14. Would your answer to my question in post #10 still be "yes" if we had...
...an instant runoff format in the November presidential election?

...the level of alienation felt by remaining Hillary supporters and perhaps get some of them to share how they're feeling and their intentions in November.

You don't agree that this could be instructive or helpful?

8. I'm all about Obamagirl.
The problem with this particular Clinton/McCain supporter is that she seems to represent the feelings of a sizable chunk of Hillary's demographic. IE, those who will cross over and vote for McCain if they don't get their way. This type of talk sickens me and I hope it stops soon.

...which makes her all the more scary.

11. The woman feels she is
a 2nd class... NO a third class citizen...

She is a white woman living in Manhattan.

She is insane...

poor thing.

I hope she does not speak for most of the Hillary supporters. I doubt that she does.

21. Well, in fairness.... it was a three hour lunch break
I could do some serious drinking in three hours, if the object was to become a disgusting, disruptive pig.

And act accordingly to anyone who agrees with that vile Republican hag Harriet.

I thought that the efforts had receded, but I guess not.

No, I have no problem with Hillary supporters
Disruptive Hillbots who openly endorse McCain need to go. If you don't know the difference, you might be in the latter category.

I personally detest him. But thanks for making that leap.

28. So far, 6 Hillbots have done so in this very thread.
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 04:56 PM by newmajority
Because agreeing with that loony tunes Harriet = a McCain endorsement.

30. If you support Harriet the Harpie, you support McLoon
There's no way around it.

But then, your posts in the caucus threads are evidence of your disconnect with reality, so I'm not surprised that you don't get it.

...open endorsement of McCain as a threat to vote for him if she can't have her way, and this has occurred on DU.

I'm sorry this poll seems to bother you so much, Lisa. As I said responding to you upthread, I thought it would be useful to gauge the level of alienation felt by remaining Hillary supporters and perhaps get some of them to share how they're feeling and their intentions in November.

32. Yes, seriously. Some people were TSed
because of racist opinions they acknowledged in a poll. It was shocking to some of us that the admins checked to see who gave afirmative answers and banned them. I think it was about 3 long time posters that got the granite.
