Its just sad that the democratic party is still so divided and touchy, we have such a great chance to refresh the worldly image of America. I just hope untimely endorsements don't make us look too stupid.

I don't see how this endorsement would make the party look stupid.

Having someone who has a great deal of knowledge and passion for climate change working closely with the Democratic Party candidate is going to be quite helpful in countering McCain's newfound caring for the environment.

Sure, coming out during the Primaries would have been better, but his support is helpful no matter what, IMO.

I just think it shows that many politicians in the democratic party are to afraid to stand up and say something when it really matters. If he would have made his endorsement 5 months ago it would have meant something. C'mon do you think he'd endorse McCain?

No, I know what you are saying. But his endorsement no matter when it is has more meaning than let's say Barb Mikulski.

Who?

I just think he could have done more to help out his party. But I guess he has that political doormat personality.

Yes the Republican party can be very divided, but overall they stand much more united then the Democratic Party has in almost a decade.

it seems to me that was once true, but has become less and less true over the past year or two. it really began to be noticeable around the time the primaries started.

And we all know that it is really nice and classy to qualify a party's actions or a person by how much "testicle-having" qualities they have.

See, the news media isn't focused on it too much, but the Republicans seem to be much less excited and more divided this time around than even the Democrats are.

I dont know what the testicle comment was about....? I just think the republican party understands the power of unification better than the democrats have for many years now. I don't think McCain is someone that most republicans want, but to me they seem more united as a whole. Whereas democrats may have been more divided overall after the Clinton/Obama primary. I just think a long primary may have hurt us more than helped us win back the white house.

basically, it can sorta (unfortunately) be summed up as:

Democratic divide not going to be anywhere as serious as they'd like you to think since Obama got the number of delegates needed rather than a "backroom deal."

the Republican divide is not as noticeable as they seem rather lackluster and not enthused. conservatives are not fond of him, and he's either have to pick a VP that might go against the Administration he'd set up or roll a hard six and change a lot of his platform (thus pissing off the support he already has) to placate him. and even then, it might not work. so even if he can pick up more mainstream conservative support, will it be at the expense of his neocon support, and will it even be enough to make a difference given how apathetic the Republicans seem about him in general?

dog-fucking, shit eating, old woman's bones humping, toaster-loving, ass licking, boot scraping, goose-stepping fuckhole of a fucking bandwidth problem!!

GRRRAAAAAAAAA!

Please just think for a second, try and figure it out.

I just think the republican party understands the power of unification better than the democrats have for many years now.

So you maintain this attitude au contraire to the points made by others in this thread? Do you have a source to back up your thoughts as they do?

I don't think McCain is someone that most republicans want, but to me they seem more united as a whole.

Once again, source please.

Whereas democrats may have been more divided overall after the Clinton/Obama primary.

The primary is over, in case you haven't noticed. All allies of and former allies to the Clinton Administration have endorsed Lil' Barry.

I just think a long primary may have hurt us more than helped us win back the white house.

Do you have any sources that can prove how it hurt us, or should we just take your Oh-So-Insightful word for it?
