Moderates? (2.00 / 1)

The platforms of Hillary and Obama are as near identical as any two candidates can be. The tiny differences that there are on domestic issues put Hillary slightly to the left of Obama. Obama has attracted support from a the full range of the Democratic big tent from Michael Moore and Move On to Senator Bob Casey and many conservative Red State Democrats.

As for standing up for workers NAFTA, the deregulation of markets, signing off on manufacturers with sensitive defense contracts being purchased by Communist China all pushed through by the Clinton administration. First Hillary claimed to be virtually Bill's co-president and now since PA she's a  populist running against everything Bill stood for.

Some may have preferred Biden or Edwards or Clinton to be the standard bearer of the party but they didn't win. We do this every 4 years. Half the party does not storm off if they lose the primary they line up behind the nominee and it won't be any different this time.

Come the fall the primary will be long forgotten. Voters have more pressing concerns then whether a millionaire politician whether it be Clinton or Obama made the cut in the primary. They will have moved on. They know that the candidates will have secure futures no matter what. They however are not so fortunate. It's your right to do what ever you want but the vast majority of voters will be focused on their own futures and will be pulling the lever for the Presidential candidate that will best meet their needs.
