The Democrat's Divide

For a good long time Dems were thrilled to have two wonderful candidates. But the mood has soured a lot. Since both are quite similar in positions the candidates are focusing on other issues: electability and fitness for the office. Meaning they are doing McCain's dirty work for him. Even worse, the candidate surrogates are injecting sexism and racism into the party that's supposed to be beyond such issues. As a result Clinton supporters (for example) can't stand Obama supporters, thinking them too smug, and talk of voting for McCain if Clinton loses. Ouch! This is from an article in Newsweek by Julia Baird.
