This is the great conundrum. I think it will most likely be a moot point from my standpoint- I am an Obama supporter, and I believe he will be the nominee. Still, I have contemplated what would happen if Hillary somehow managed to get the nomination.

A year ago, there would have been no question. I preferred Obama, but would happily vote for Clinton if she won. That has distinctly changed. I recognize that, solely because of the Supreme Court issue, I would have no choice but to vote for Clinton. However, I will do so unhappily.

I support any candidate's right to wage a vigorous campaign, but Clinton has crossed the line of decency so many times, it is no longer distinguishable. Her callous disregard of what is good for the party is outrageous. Her relentless attempts to use fear as a motivating political tactic have aligned her far to closely with the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that she has railed against for so many years. She is arrogant and intransigent. And I think most disturbingly, exactly like George W. Bush, she has shown herself to be completely unable to admit mistakes, or accept her own fallibility. In short, she has shown herself to have absolutely the wrong temperament to be an effective President.

So again, yes I would vote for her, for the sake of the court. And beginning January 20, 2009, I would (along with many others) begin seeking the candidate I would support in a primary challenge for 20012.
