36. Hillary Clinton got over 18 million votes.

I resent your calling her supporters "Hillary fanatics". We need to respect all democrats, especially ones as valuable and popular as Hillary Rodham Clinton. I personally believe she deserves a rest, but it would be stupid not to realize that she would pull in dems that are not enthusiastic about an Obama ticket. I will say that I am not one of those. I do support Obama/Biden and will vote accordingly. Not to say, however, that I would not support Obama/Clinton if that shakes out. I know of at least two of my republican relatives, that would vote dem if she was on the ticket. Women are angry at the lack of female representation in the VP and Presidential slot. It looks to a lot of us as derogatory toward women, in general. We just never seem to have one good enough, even if she is the most respected woman in the world. Other countries in the world do not seem to have that problem.
