Comments on: Clinton Leaders’ McCain Endorsement Causes Rancor Among College Dems http://iowaindependent.com/2470/clinton-leaders-mccain-endorsement-causes-rancor-among-college-dems Iowa politics, news and commentary Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:06:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Mitch H. http://iowaindependent.com/2470/clinton-leaders-mccain-endorsement-causes-rancor-among-college-dems/comment-page-1#comment-7122 Mitch H.

Issues such as these are too important to throw away because of hurt feelings from the long Democratic primary season.  We must support a candidate who is right on the issues not a candidate who is exactly opposite on the issues we hold so dearly.  Senator Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama agreed on at least 95% of the major issues affecting America today.  I urge my fellow college Democrats to vote for Senator Obama in November. Divided we will fall.  Together we can make a real difference.
