Dems Need to call for Recovery

So the roar has settled. Sort of. Finally a Democratic nominee has been selected, but the party is torn. Clinton voters are upset, and this year, it seems as though both sides aren't so willing to forget. What's supposed to happen is Clinton voters should say "oh well" and throw their support behind Obama. The problem: this isn't so easy. With such a long primary, how can the Blue party expect this? Or rather, how could they have ever expected this?

The northeast will continue to sit in its bubble and they dream election is made. But friends, let me tell you- it's not over. Having grown up in the South, and having family in the MidWest and West, I can tell you the battle is about to start. The biggest problem is there is no unity with the Dems right now. The power that Obama had with his supporters does not necessarily sway all of Clinton's supporters. Without both, they can't win. The Dems need to unite, but well written speeches by Obama are not enough. More than likely McCain is going to grab some of the moderate chunk that Clinton was holding. The Dems need to hold on to some of that population if they want a prayer of winning. I don't have the answers, but I do know that the real war starts now. The Dems just spread friendly fire all about for the last several months. First aid is required.
