On a day of Clinton-Obama unity in Unity, GOP offers video reminder of disunity
You kind of remember the long Democratic primary campaign as, first of all, long. Even at times bitter.
Hillary Clinton, speaking today with the Democratic winner, Barack Obama, in New Hampshire, said, "It was spirited because we both care so much." Watching this video no one would doubt the caring, but it sure wasn't about each other.
"Spirited" would not quite describe some of the exchanges by Democratic candidates discussing Obama, which in the interests of the opposite of unity, the Republican National Committee has generously assembled and is suppressing widely around the country today as an antidote to the Democrats' "Kumbaya" spirit.
No doubt it's deeply appreciated.

Obama has what it takes to be a great president. the only hope for the Republicans is that HRC is on the ticket or she succeeds in stealing the nomination.
If either happens a GOPer will w/ justification haul her before the ethics committee for her business dealings while she was in the Senate and her lies about them in her ethics filings.

Yes, Unity is a wonderful thing. So what if it costs Obama and his Rich Elite friends 22 Million dollars. They have it. But the best is yet to come. Once he wins he is going to raise their taxes.
So I guess they are voting to pay more in taxes. Now thats what I call real supporters. People who trust the government to spend money wisely. But I guess since Obama and the Democ"rat"s are the ones that are going to spend it. It will be spent wisely.

Let the Republicans and the McCain campaign waste their time on the 'experience card'. It didnt' work for Hillary Clinton, it's not going to work for John McCain.

Actually Shawn, it could work very well for McCain, Hillary had about half the votes in the primary and only lost because the DNC denied the people of Florida and Michigan their vote. If you add those Democrats that agree with Hillary and Bill that Obama does not have the experience to the Republican vote, Obama will not do well.
This is not the primary.

I feel the need to point out this sentence:
"Spirited" would not quite describe some of the exchanges by Democratic candidates discussing Obama, which in the interests of the opposite of unity, the Republican National Committee has generously assembled and is ****suppressing**** widely around the country today as an antidote to the Democrats' "Kumbaya" spirit.
Not sure what word you wanted to use there, but I doubt it was suppressing. Pretty sure you want an antonym of that.
I don't mean to be a language hawk or anything...sorry if I offend.
