supporters have been very precise on who are the
"Dividers".

Posted this one earlier...

The irony here is that the "Unity" message only works if there is a perceived "Divide". The current "Divide" is

The Clintons
Dems and Repubs in Washington
Clinton Supporters
Dem base

Perceived "UNITER"

Sen Obama
Independents
Obama supporters

Lieber-types, I would think, would be on the UNITER's list. Maybe this is shifting.

Obama wins (none / 0) (#6)

He does most poorly with demographics that are not ideologically based now.

Chris Bowers wrote about this the other day.

donuts...

This thread points to a greater problem, which is that the democratic party is on the cusp of changing so much that the core dems might very well bolt.
