Dale,

<<You were referring to what Obama supporters would do in a hypothetically reversed situation.

In what hypothetical situation have Clinton supporters' actions been characterized in advance? I must have missed that, or I don't understand your question.>>

I hate going back and trying to find the potentially offending posts. Too much other chatter in between. What I would say that it certainly feels like Clinton supporters feelings have been characterized in advance.

But it seems like you are hair splitting here. What you are saying is that is ok to set up straw man negative arguments about Clintons intentions and comment on it to no end as if it were fact than for me to raise a point about Obama supporters being loyal to their candidate where I view that as a positive but you want to turn it into a negative because I am hypothesizing about it? But in case I am being insensitive, I apologize if my characterization of Obama supporters was offensive.

Let me rephrase the hypothetical situation in a way that should be acceptable. If the situations between Obama and Clinton were reversed, how many Obama supporters would want Obama to look at every avenue in order to obtain the nomination before it was officially over?

One other opinion on the choose situation. If you go back and look at what lead up to what was said, I feel she was goaded into her response. From your side of the debate, you may not have seen it but it certainly seemed that way to me.
