Divided They Stand

On every news and talk show, there are plenty of Democrats towing the party line by insisting that the long struggle between Senator's Clinton and Obama, has not left them divided. It is difficult to believe that the long, and at times harsh struggle, between Obama and Clinton has not had an impact on Democratic unity. Evidence of this can be found in the polls that suggest many Clinton backers would vote for McCain if she were out of the race. Polls suggest some of the same for Obama's supporters. The Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws Committee meets Saturday to decide the fate of the delegates from Michigan and Florida. It has been reported that Clinton supporters are busing in protesters to demonstrate at Saturday's meeting. Obama supporters plan to have demonstrators out in full force as well. There are historical, economic, and many other reasons why the upcoming election should be the Democrats to lose. If you would have asked me last September if John McCain stood a chance, my answer would have been no. I think the Dems have shot themselves in the foot in their primary, and opened the door for McCain to achieve victory.
