Democratic Convention II

Askin' ain't gettin': Democrats are trying to seek unity at the convention.

Obama, meanwhile, dismisses the anger of Clinton supporters at his own peril.

If a huge chunk of them don't vote for him, how in the hell can he possibly make up the difference?

Mr. Obama played down worries being aired by some Democrats – and fueled by the Republican campaign of Senator John McCain – that stalwart admirers of Mrs. Clinton would not support his candidacy in November. He said that Senator Clinton and former President Bill Clinton “could not be more clear about their support for my candidacy.”

Yet he conceded that some political patchwork needed – and the burden was on him.

“There are going to be some of Senator Clinton’s supporters who we’re going to have to work hard to persuade to come on board – that’s not surprising,” Mr. Obama said. “But if you take a look this week, I am absolutely convinced that both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton understand the stakes.”

He doesn't even acknowledge the fact he is an illegitimate nominee--THAT in a nutshell is why so many Clinton supporters can't stand him.

It's the fraud, stupid.

Campaign Dumb Opinions

Well, Donna, I hate to break it to you, but the PUMA argument isn't really about Hillary Clinton at all, and therefore no matter what Hillary Clinton may like to see happen in the name of party "unity," there is no going back to the way things were before the primary season kicked off.

It was people like you who created the situation in the first place by not fully seating or stripping Clinton delegates from Florida and Michigan, by not apologizing for the filthy, race-baiting campaign "Obama" ran, for not admitting "Obama" didn't have the majority of the popular vote, for not allowing Clinton to take the contest all the way to the convention, and for not condemning the smears by the attack dogs from the media and the "progressive" blogosphere for creating the rift.

It can't begin to be bridged unless or until the votes are counted. Even then, it's probably too late.
