3. Please Use More Acronyms.
In politics: Party Unity My Ass. It's for those who don't want to vote for Obama, but still want to say that they're Democrats.

4. Here you go..
It's an acronym for "Party Unity My Ass". It's this supposed group of Hillary supporters who are so bitter and angry about her not getting the nomination that they are actively campaigning for McCain. I am of the opinion that these people are no more than a GOP tactic to divide the party and were never Democrats and would have never voted for Clinton or any other Dem. But they sure make it look like the Democratic party is in serious trouble. A lot of people are throwing this term and making the accusations that all (most, some, a good number) of Clinton supporters are party defectors.

It's a media driven GOP tactic to divide and conquer. And many here are playing right into it.
