But why?

I don't understand the vitriol that Hillary supporters spew against Obama. How is it even remotely conceivable that McCain could be a better president for any one of these people? And what does Obama have to do with mysogyny? I'm being serious. When has Obama been anything but civil and courteous to Hillary, even when she seems to be acting as a potential spoiler for his presidential bid.

Is it backfire against the DNC for seating only half of Michigan/Florida, and giving 40-ish percent of Michigan to Obama? 

Does that really make McCain a better choice, a man who is anti-choice , anti-gay , and for a long occupation of Iraq.

I hope, I hope that this is all just blowing off steam, and that this important voting bloc of the Democratic Party will come to their senses and realize that Obama is an excellent candidate- or that, at the least, McCain needs to be defeated.

Hillary has a duty to turn them in that direction, and an obligation to do it without attempting to use their votes as political capital.
