  Make that 80% as this Democrat voted for Barack.

  Count one more! Also, my parents are Hillary supporters. I have been trying to convince them to swing their votes Obama’s way. They didn’t vote for Obama — They decided not to vote at all. (My parents always vote.)

  I console myself with the fact that a least that’s two less votes for Hillary. I’ll keep working on them and, hopefully, by June they’ll be working at Obama Headquarters with me!

  My father voted asbentee a few weeks ago for John Edwards, as he is on vacation right now.

  My mother is voting for Hillary next week in Maryland.

  Pandora….

  Why did they not vote? Are they disspirited by Hillary’s campaign?

  Mom and Dad were Hillary people - but I got Mom over to Obama recently.

  Now they are not going to vote since they’ll cancel each other out. So I count that as -2 for Hillary.

  jason - sneak Mom out to the polls while someone distracts Dad.

  My mother is rather fanatical about Hillary. She and I have gotten into arguments about Obama v. Hillary. There was no way I can win her over and the jury is still out as to whether she will vote for Obama in the general.

  This Democrat will vote for Obama. Watch his speech in Wilmington:

  I think all my ranting set in. My mom actually said that I reminded her of herself during the JFK era. They decided not to vote by saying, “They are both great candidates. We don’t care who wins.”

  I take this to mean… I won. I also take this to mean : How strong/loyal are Hillary supporters.

  My parents are life-long democrats. They always vote. Their sitting this one out speaks volumes. Momentum. Momentum. Momentum.

  Insight into my parents: If Bill was running they would have voted.

  Also, they heard something that upset them. Has anyone else heard about the comparison between Obama’s inexperience and JFK’s Bay of Pigs? Sacred ground and below the belt… at least according to my parents.

  Go Obama!

  tried to sway my sister and Brother in law from voting Hillary, but she said she is voting for Hillary because a black man can’t win…

  @donvitti

  As if Hillary has a chance in hell.

  I truly believe if given the choice between Hitler and Hillary, America would vote for Hitler.
