Politics - United States
Do you feel like Democrats should UNITE around One candidate NOW and Prepare for the General election?
I'm just wondering what everyone thinks is the right thing to do for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A WHOLE?Gov. Richardson said " George Bush has given us this election on a silver platter and we're basically throwing it away. "
Someone has to lose and the PARTY HAS TO WIN. Do you think Democrats should be uniting at this moment to end John MCcains HONEYMOON with America?
OR
Should we become even more divided while this Democratic race plays out?
This is just for us common folk.
Please NO WANNA BE ENGLISH PROFESSORS!
This is my poll and i'm not interested in hearing all this racial hatred.
This is about the Democratic Party and it's future.
Please leave your civil comments.

Don't believe for a minute the kind of baseless GOP chest-thumping you read on SodaHead. All credible indicators show that McSame will be defeated by the greatest landslide in U.S. history - possibly even a 50 State Sweep.
McSame is the willing sacrificial lamb of a GOP in shambles, complete with ZERO energy, and more importantly, ZERO dollars and no ability to raise some.
Don't sweat it, Jimmie. It's in the bag

Hillary has her right to compete. It's still a close race and I may remind everyone that even though the delegates have committed, they can still change their minds all the way to the convention. Barack still has a ways to go and his wheels are loose. Anything can happen between now and convention time. After the convention and IF a nominee is selected, Democrats will have time to unify. Take it for what it's worth.
Now excuse me while jump back over to the right. -

I think that Hillary has been asked to step down by several important DNC officials. In Oklahoma our Super Delegates have given our support to OBAMA and are trying to get her to support him before there is any more HARM to the party. Democrats Unite!!! ALL WE ARE DOING IS GETTING ANOTHER 4 years of Bush if we don't unite.

If this goes on beyond tonight, I'm afraid the parties goose is cooked. There is so much division right now, it's like Democrat vs Republican but it's not. It's us beating each other, giving the Republicans all they need against Obama. If this gpes to June, 4 months won't heal this wound. -

I think it is great. For the first time in a long time states like Oregon have a say in who will be the nominee. I believe that is shows that the current system is flawed. Everyone should have a chance to vote for their republican and democratic nominees. Not just the select states and I’m from Iowa. -

and no! :) Maybe the NC and IN primaries on Tuesday will define things better; maybe not though. I think it comes down to the losing candidate making it very clear to their disappointed (and angry) supporters that they solidly back the winner; asking them to put it all in the past and work together for the General Election. I think either of the candidates will do this, as needed for the party, regardless of what's in their hearts. -
raves +2 -1 May 03, 2008 07:52AM GMTCould not agree more. Both of them need a serious talking to, and each of them need to start emphasizing to their troops that whoever *loses* will put all of his or her considerable political weight behind truly backing the nominee. Without that, McCain will wipe the floor with this debacle, to the eternal detriment of the US. Because I am afraid the fossilized old fool will cling to Bush's policies to the tune of stumbling headfirst into another great depression and a new world war in the now-nuclear age.

HUFFINGTON POST:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn't have done more damage to Barack Obama's campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that's just what one friend of Wright wanted.
Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.
A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister).
It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club "who organized" the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter. ...
I don't know if Reynolds' eagerness to help Wright stage a disastrous news conference with the national media was a way of trying to help Clinton - my queries to Reynolds by phone and e-mail weren't returned yesterday - but it's safe to say she didn't see any conflict between promoting Wright and supporting Clinton. -
raves +2 May 03, 2008 06:54AM GMT (edited)With his growing electability issues becoming more and more obvious she *is* being taken seriously... or those silent and unaligned super delegates would all be on the Obama bus by now. They're waiting... because they have too many doubts about Obama. He needs some serious wins now to close the deal and if he can't do that then he becomes a no-confidence candidate and disastrous for the party and the GE.
