Poll question: Will Dems unite strongly, whole-heartedly, after the nominee is chosen
Edited on Tue Dec-09-03 08:07 PM by nu_duer
I'm thinking that we're just in the process of defining the new hierarchy of the party, and that we'll all come together, no matter who is nominated and no matter the heat of competition, to remove the clear and present danger to our nation that is the bush regime.

I feel we'll all put the good of the nation, and its salvation from bushco, far far above any percieved slights during the primary season.

So, after the nominee is chosen, will the Dem party be as one - healthy and vibrant and ready to do battle, to do what needs to be done to win, or will we be split, at the worst possible time?

2. I have to believe that their desire to rid this country of bush,
will be greater than their personal ego.

4. I'm hoping we'll be at least 99% united...
there will still be those who say they just can't vote for Candidate-X for whatever reason.

that said, the amount of hatred and attacks among Dems for their various candidates has left me
surprised and concerned.

9. Well, except for Zell Miller....
who used to be quite moderate and admirable, I think the party is uber-united. And it's a year away form the election.

12. We'd better
This is even more important than past elections. This is an emergency. We need to UNITE as a party and stop bickering and giving ammunition to the Republicans and undecideds. Every statement against a democratic nominee is out there forever for undecided people to read after the primaries. We need to unite for the greater good of kicking Bush OUT. Whoever get the nomination, we need to support them 100%. No excuses. WE NEED TO GET BUSH OUT AND BICKERING AND PICKING ON OUR OWN CANDIDATES WILL PUSH THE UNDECIDEDS TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

13. how many times have I read
I cannot support anyone who voted for the war.

Clark is a general and his initial commets were pro. Not a vote but close enough.

I hope I'm wrong, thats all I can say.
