215. Some people don't understand the concept of SECOND CHOICE here at DU. That's the problem.

HRC was my first choice in 08. Obama was my 2nd choice. When HRC lost the nomination, I voted for BHO in the general. She bacame his SECSTATE and they did great things together. They 'got over it.' I liked the job the entire administration was doing and supported the team's goals so I voted for them again in 12. Now, I'll vote for Obama's first SECSTATE to continue his legacy.

HRC is my first choice again--Sanders was 2nd, but the more I hear from his supporters (not him--he's completely drowned out by them), the less I am liking him. He was on tv this morning and specifically refused to trash HRC, but that doesn't stop his "crew" from continuing the relentless, personal, pointless disparagment of a Democrat who has an outstanding record of public service. People do get known by the company they keep--and sorry, many of BS's supporters look like bad company to me. O'Malley, even though he doesn't have much of a chance, is quickly moving into 2nd place in my heart simply because his supporters aren't incessantly vicious about my candidate and her husband.

Bernie's supporters (and the libertarians who help incite the bad behavior) waste no time in doing the GOP's work for them--and that is unfortunate.

I think Barney Frank's assessment of the lay of the land is valid:
