Hillary Alums Debate Support

The debate in Clintonland rages on. Are Clintonites insulting Hillary by not supporting Barack? Is Barack not being nice to Hillary? Check out this exchange from a restricted access Google group for Clinton campaign alumni.

Why can't BO just be nice to her??  That would help unite us.

AMEN - If you truly ever supported Hillary Clinton please honor her by doing the right thing. All of us wanted Senator Clinton to win.  If Senator Clinton can stand with Barack Obama surely anyone that supported her can do the same.  You can't possibly want John McCain in the White House. 

...by refusing to support Barack Obama. 

The issues that Hillary Clinton has worked so tirelessly for--expanded access to healthcare, a woman's right to choose, the restoration of America's standing in the world--have been just as tirelessly opposed by John McCain and the GOP.  If you refuse to support Obama in November you are standing in opposition to Hillary and thwarting her lifetime of hard work.

What's more, you will irreversibly damage her entire future.  At BEST, Hillary will be seen as powerless and unable exercise leadership in regard to her supporters.  At WORST, she will be seen as conniving to sabotage her own party at the most crucial political moment in a generation.  Either way, her career will be over. 

Could you live with that?
