I am intrigued by your posts and admire your sincerity, but when you talk about Obama's ability to 'unite', you are sadly glossing over the many millions who see him as anything but a uniter. You might want to take a look at this essay in NoQuarter (and the reader comments which follow), because it reflects EXACTLY what a whole lot of voters are feeling. For many of us, Obama has turned out to be disastrously divisive, an almost certain death knell for Democratic hopes this November. Expressing this belief is heresy in the blogosphere and is sure to draw fire from Obama believers, thus serving to increase the divisiveness in question. And so we go round and round in a vicious, ever widening circle.
