Please think about this before you reply.

Okay, what's the one thing he said and what's the other thing you believe he did in opposition to his statement?

The Supreme Court?
Repeal of Bush tax cuts?
Ending the Iraq war?
The economy?
Or are you saying warmonger extremis McCain will get all that done in spite of his Republican to the bone soul?

As it stands right now......many of my friends (as well as me) plan on re-registering as independents now.

A cop-out.
Besides, reality says 85% of registered “Independents” are in fact Republicans with weak stomachs.

My best friend said something to me that made me really think. Obama supporters have gone out of their way to humiliate Clinton supporters and push them away.

You and your best friend know that how?

If they think they can win a Presidential election with out us.......maybe we should just let them go without our support.

As you phrase your (collective) position, your support is, if not “waffling”, at best lukewarm.

Quote:

Is there any real reason to throw our support behind a candidate that doesn't speak to us.......or more importantly.....why should we now just forgive and forget and fall in line.

The Supreme Court?
Repeal of Bush tax cuts?
Ending the Iraq war?
The economy?

If we don't like Obama why should we vote for him in the general election?

The Supreme Court?
Repeal of Bush tax cuts?
Ending the Iraq war?
The economy?

I have toyed with the idea of voting for McCain....SIC)

No one reading your post believes differently.
As I do not believe you are Black just because of your avatar. Why?
You write (white) questions.
Or Black Republican questions.

Quote:

it disgust me too much right now to do it, but what makes people think that Obama can win with just his own supporters.

See, a wavering Republican question.
But by “supporters” did you mean the millions of new voters he signs and will sign up by November? Or did you mean those who believe his Presidency would likely spur a revival of the American spirit? Old line, “yellow dog” Democrats? “Traditional” Democrats?

Quote:

He needs the support of a majority of America to win the general election and I have no reason at this point to do so.

So, you’re “the majority of Americans”?

Quote:

Is there a compelling argument to make all of us back someone just because they are a Democrat when deep in our souls we believe he does not stand for what we believe in and distrust him so much.

Compelling arguments: The Supreme Court,
Repeal of Bush tax cuts,
Ending the Iraq war,
The economy-stupid.
