Will Democrats Rally Behind the Nominee?

By: Kate Carter (Little_personView Profile)

As Indiana and North Carolina primary results trickled in, exit polls showed a shocking statistic: six in ten Indiana voters who supported Barack Obama, said they will be dissatisfied if Hillary Clinton is the nominee. In Indiana and North Carolina, two-thirds of Clinton supporters said they would be dissatisfied with an Obama ticket. Has the Democratic strife given John McCain a clear advantage, or will Democrats coalesce behind the nominee in November?

Ditto! I agree with Michelle and Christie.
The democratic in-fighting must stop or McCain will win. Clinton and Obama have extremely similar platforms which, to me, make it easy to decide to rally behind whomever gets the nomination...even if it is not my preferred candidate Part of their message from here on should be support the Democrats no matter what not "I'm better than he is / she is". I agree with Hilary that this delay could cost the Democrats the election. I also believe that "bellyaching" and dwelling on the he said/she said/pastor said is adding to this delay! The focus needs to be on McCain and the REAL issues at hand!
I can only speak for myself, but I will support either Obama or Clinton, though I do prefer one over the other. I think the strife between the two Democratic candidates has prevented the party from addressing the ultimate goal, and that is beating John McCain in the fall. History suggests this delayed start could cost the Democrats the election.
