On this site between the extreme Hillary fans and the Republicans trolls, we don't get a very balanced picture of how many real democrats who favor Hillary would vote for Obama if he is the nominee. Here is a list of links that I found on a site for those who would like a more balanced picture. It is divided into groups according to Feminist Perspective, Progressive Perspective, Conservative Perspective.
Don't get the wrong impression from those on this site who curse and call people names who disagree with them as being typical of a Hillary supporter.
These people are the exception and not the rule to the typical Hillary supporter.

There is a clear pattern emerging from the Clinton campaign, but it's not the one Hillary Clinton wished to suggest.
Hillary's recent words underline a clear pattern in the way both the Clintons have been using race in this campaign. However poorly worded, Hillary's recent words suggest the fundamental reason the Clintons have betrayed the honorific title of "first black president" once bestowed on Bill Clinton by the great American writer Toni Morrison:
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.
The African-American community has clearly recognized and understood the implications of this pattern of racialized discourse, and has almost completly renounced and rejected the Clintons as a result. Results from the Indiana and North Carolina primaries this week indicate that over 90% of African-Americans voted against the Clintons.
Since the election of a Democratic President in November depends so heavily on the African-American vote, all superdelegates need to be asking, in spite of Hillary Clinton's claims to the contrary: Who really has "a much broader base to build a winning coalition on"?
