Dear Hillary Supporters: Take your time.

[calmblueocean]

I know a lot of people are trying to push you out of Hillary's yard, and into Obama's today.

Realistically, the rest of the non-DU universe knows that you can't change your heart on a dime.

Take your time. Don't let DUers turn your support for Hillary into a grudge against Obama. All the things you wanted with Hillary as president, we want, too. It's those shared ideals we're fighting for in November, that shared vision of a country respected across the world, where our soldiers are finally coming home and our citizens are no longer being denied healthcare.

It's probably going to be a while before you're ready to accept a new candidate to make that vision reality.

This is okay.

We'll see you whenever you're ready, and then we'll finish off McBush together!

1. Good post, calmblueocean.

I second that.

2. Well said!

The only way we're gonna defeat McCain is if we do it together. Recoup your strength, and then let's come together and do this thing. :hi:

4. Very, very well said

Hillary supporters, I know it hurts. DK was my idol. I agree with the OP. It will take time, and that IS okay.

6. my advice is to take a week off, drink some beers, relax, and then come back

ready to support the nominee. If you DON"T support the nominee after a week, don't come back.

19. and my advice to you is don't try to tell us what to do

it'll bite you in the ass. promise.

7. hey i moved on i am supporting Obama now

as i said i would do. His supporters on this board? I don't have much use for them, especially the ones that feel the need for a pound of flesh.

16. Attacking Obama supporters won't help us win in November

[Marrah_G]

8. I can be in both yards

Yes, I support Obama, he is the Nominee. I have my doubts about him, but he is the nominee and I respect that.

Yes, I still love, respect and admire Hillary.

Yes I am disappointed she did not win.

This is now about the VP pick and the fight against the pukes.

10. What a gracious post!!

There are so many Sen Obama supporters here that could not only use your classiness but could take Sen Obama's message to heart. He'd be embarassed at some of the shit going on here.

11. Agreed. Expecting them to jump wholeheartedly on board the day after is unrealistic...

...in '04 it took me a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to get over the withdrawal of my pick...I eventually came around to Kerry...and, in part due to the actions of the candidate himself, the transition was made less painful by the gracious actions and focused vision of the candidate that had withdrawn...

One can only hope the Hillary is that gracious, realistic and focussed..

It hurts when you lose...it hurts when you pour so much of yourself into something that doesn't pan out...take your time..we'll be here...

12. Good

I think Hillary has a lot to offer on
social issues. Use her, she can do
a lot of good.

13. Nice post, well said. We are on the same team and want the same things.

[helderheid]

14. Well said. Thanks for this.

17. I agree- just dont use attacking the DEM nominee as part of your grieving process.

Take your time- but not too much time- we need to get crakin against McSame.

And by no means should your healing process include attacking Democrats or defending McCain voters- once that happens the truce is off.

[Mezzo]

18. I can't thank you enough for that.

It wouldn't let me rec it, so I'll post it here.

I notice a lot of Obamamaniacs threatening a lot of shit lately. I don't think they realize how badly they're damaging their candidate.

[DerekJ]

21. Just ignore'em. It's also time to drop Hillbots/Obamamaniacs nonsense. The majority of O supporters

are now extending their hands. Join up with those, ignore the childish few.

[Dr Fate]

22. Yup- By-gones are by-gones. All the he-said-she-said stuff is behind us.

If the Republicans want to re-hash all that crap, let 'em- all the good DEMS are moving on.

20. I think I am in love!
