His voting record is one I approve of with few exceptions. He is smart, articulate, and will, I expect, make few mistakes.

The alternative is no longer Hillary, but McCain.

When on considers all the aspects of what is riding on this election, it is time to put our pride and ego aside, and support the nominee.

I've often said that I believe voting records are the best evidence of what a candidate believes, as that's where the "rubber hits the road."

Obama's voting record is nearly identical to Hillary's, so it seems strange to me that anyone who supported her would not support him in the general election.

Anything else, to my mind, is simply cutting off your nose to spite your face, and it will be future generations who will pay dearly.
Are you going to do your usual obnoxious shit and post this on every thread?

There are WORLDS of difference between Hillary's voting record and Obama's when you look at their entire legislative history's. You are still repeating the Hillary talking points. The distortion there from day one was that Hillary wanted to be excused on her voting record before Obama came to senate.
