nomination, I...? ...want to hear your reasoning
I have heard that people will seek a 3rd party candidate because they distrust Obama's lack of experience, that seems fair. I've also heard that because the media was sexist, they can't vote for Obama, that seems unfair. But fairness aside, I've had to hold my nose in many elections and vote for whomever the Dems nominated even though I'd have much preferred another candidate, but the Repubs were too far away from my ideals for me to consider not voting for the Dem. It seems strange to me especially when women who say they are feminists won't vote for Obama when his platform is a) almost identical to Clinton's and b) strongly in support of women's issues, while McCain seems like a neanderthal when it comes to women's issues. I understand disappointment, being offended/hurt/angered by the process and I understand the "desire" to make a protest vote, but it seems to me too much is at stake comparatively speaking. So I want to understand your reasoning if this question applies to you
