The only way the McCain can win is by dividing Democrats.
I've been watching the polls that you've been watching. Obama is even or ahead in almost every poll. This is true in state polls as well. One of Obama's weaknesses is his greatest potential strength. Obama's support amongst Democrats isn't as strong as it needs to be. If Obama got to 85% support amongst Democrats, he'd probably win by 5%+. So if I was working for the republicans, I'd be pushing the "Democrats are divided" bullshit too. Their key to winning is dividing Democrats.

Obama's best opportunity to consolidate support amongst Democrats is the convention. His second best will be the debates. That's why you see McCain running ads with Hillary and the media running with the "Democrats Divided" BS. McCain knows that if we stick together, he is finished.

There are some "Democrats" out there that tell you "they haven't made up their minds yet." This is a cop out excuse for republican enablers.

1. I think we just need to register more new voters
There is nothing that can be done about these Hillary supporters. I personally think the problem with them coming home to vote for Obama is about something he can't change. Oh well.

2. Agreed, Great Post!
Why don't don't more D.U.er's get this? It's exasperating seeing such intelligent and engaged Democrats falling for it!

When you see this stuff on the MSM ask yourself this: Which Party benefits from this kind of talk?

now, with that answered: WHY on earth would you help them by keeping the hate going?

C'mon D.U. , we gotta unite. Stop falling for MSM/ Repuke bait, please! If you wanna win the WhiteHouse back you gotta Be Strong and Stay Focused.

Hillary backs Obama and so do most of her supporter's. The primaries were bloody but they are over! We're on the same team now and this isn't about Obama or Hillary it's about US, the BLUE TEAM.

Are you on it or not!? :dem:
