3. If Hillary is the NOMINEE, I'll vote for her.

If I have any substantiative disagreements with her positions and policies I'll focus on those, in the primary, while supporting whomever I believe to be a better candidate. And I don't see attacks on Hillary (or Elizabeth Warren, or any other potential female candidate) on the basis of gender as being any more acceptable than attacks on Obama on the basis of race.

Although she was inevitable before, and look how that turned out; I wouldn't be putting money on a Clinton primary victory, just yet.
