BILLINGS - While Republicans unite at the G.O.P. convention this week, Hillary Clinton supporters in Montana are also rallying behind Barack Obama.
The Clinton campaign urged supporters to fall in line behind the democratic nominee. During a conference call Wednesday, Clinton backers said they supported Clinton for her stand on issues important to women, not because of her gender. Now, they say those goals will not be realized without Obama in office.
"Hilary supporters are wildly enthusiastic for Obama, but we need to stay on the facts. And that is that everything that we stood for, can't be done unless we support Obama's into presidency," says State Senate Majority Leader Carol Williams.
The Montanans add that McCain's V.P. choice of Governor Sarah Palin will not sway them because her beliefs are not in line with theirs.

On a side note:
Washington Wire:
Just 9% of women who supported Clinton in the primaries say they are more likely to vote for McCain because of his inclusion of Palin on the Republican ticket, according to a poll of 800 women conducted on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.A majority — 55% — said Palin’s inclusion on the ticket makes them less likely to vote for McCain, who will be nominated at the Republican convention.
