This is currently one of the front page posts by Jerome Armstrong on MyDD. I'm shocked he would post something like this and say the things he did. A man who rightly LAMBASTED the media when they pulled this crap with Edwards. Yet now he is doing the same thing.
What amazes me is Jerome is supposed to be one the leaders of the Blogosphere. He has fought to establish a progressive movement in this country and along with Kos, Bowers, Stoller, etc. has been instrumental in shaping the Blogosphere to be our answer to the RWNM.

For a long time, I have been saying I will support our nominee regardless of whom it is. My reasoning goes back to 2000 and the 8 years of shit that those who voted for Bush (and to a lesser extent Nader) brought upon us.
I have to admit though as things I have gotten nastier in the primary, it makes me question that decision. The crap the Clintons have pulled have really made me lose any respect I had for them and question whether I would vote for her. To be fair, there are Clinton supporters who have said they won't vote for Obama under any circumstances as well.
So I ask myself, If things continue to deteriorate and grow nastier in this race, under what circumstances would I vote for Hillary, vs a 3rd party or write-in? Are there Hillary/VP combos that would make me more or less likely?
There's More...

Obama strikes back with a scathing response to the lies of the Clinton Campaign. The fact that Bill turned this into a racial thing still just steams me and his continuance to do so further diminishes my respect for him and his wife.
At the every least, we know that if Obama is attacked by the GOP he isn't going to sit and take it.
