While the Rethugs are building a precinct by precinct ground game in each swing state |

We are still in a primary, fighting over comments made by Obama's pastor and Geraldine Ferraro.
At first I was happy that this process extended beyond Super Tuesday. It gave voters who usually don't get much input into our nominee a chance for their primaries to matter.
But if people can't see the damage this current process is causing our party, they are delusional.
We need a nominee after Pennsylvania.

3. We should have a nominee by now, but waiting until after Pennsylvania has decided is fine by me. |

It's not optimal, but we are where we are, and Pennsylvania needs to weight in.
After PA, we need a quick resolution.

2. I think we may need to start seriously considering a unity ticket. |

Or a "cease-fire ticket".

7. It's going to get worse unless |

Obama withdraws and supports Clinton. You know they haven't thrown all their ammo at him yet.
If he really cares about the Democratic Party's future, he'll do this. It will give him a chance for a political future, too. He's only 46 and could put all this behind him by 2012.
I don't see any other solution. He can't win in November and August is too late to unify the party.
Obama may be a decent guy, but he's been hanging around a black version of David Duke for twenty years and that's given him a foul smell. If he disagreed much with his "old uncle," he'd have found another church. How could two lawyers with Ivy League degrees not realize this was going to hit the fan?
Nobody had to go underground and film the preacher secretly, the church sells videotapes of his sermons, complete with the classic where he does pelvic thrusts while making sexual comments.
Two months ago, I thought Clinton was the last person I wanted to be the nominee but I was wrong.
Winning matters. McCain will be Bush redux and then some.
