We have a decision to make as a party. Are we going to worry about the people who say they will refuse to vote for Senator Obama when he is the Nominee, or are we going to move forward.
That's the very real question we are facing here. Watch this video and listen to these people and their reasons on why they would not vote for Senator Obama in the Fall.
These are supposedly 'good Democrats', most of them have Hillary buttons on and have never voted for a Republican.

Will Hillary Clinton renounce Governor Rendell and reject his support? Governor Rendell has spoken very highly of Louis Farrakhan and honored him at a ceremony, standing onstage and lavishing praise after praise for Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

The hypocrisy that is flowing from the Clinton and McCain campaigns is bad enough. Both of those candidates have made the same arguments when answering why voters who are in economic distress choose to vote against their own economic interests and in McCain's case develop anti-immigration and anti-trade feelings.
It's a normal reaction, and all three candidates have made the same kinds of arguments. So they take a poorly worded quote from Senator Obama and are acting like he's said something so bad that it deserves the castigation and derision from everyone.
Yet it's the same argument they themselves have argued in many cases. And posters here who have railed about and against so-called 'values voters' are now writing diaries claiming their own outrage. Even a poster here who has been on DailyKos for a long time and taken up arms against those who vote anti-immigration and for the 'anti-Gay marriage' proposals on the ballots in many swing States over the years.
Hypocrites!
