It’s Looking Like Maybe He Can’t

Senator Obama has tried to sell himself as the only man who can unite the country, but as WaPo points out:

…Obama still has some work to do to unite the Democratic Party. Almost nine in 10 Republicans now support McCain, while not quite eight in 10 Democrats said they support Obama. Nearly a quarter of those who said they favored Clinton over Obama for the nomination currently prefer McCain for the general election, virtually unchanged from polls taken before Clinton suspended her campaign.

Obama tries to blame this on McCain getting a free pass from the press and opponents while he was still fending off Hillary — as if Obama (and the New York Times) hadn’t been taking shots at McCain that whole time.  The truth is – as the quote above indicates — the man who is promising to unite America still cannot unite his own party.

  1. […] Obama claims he can unite the country, but he just caused an even bigger rift in his own party. What can you expect from the man who, while asking for party unity, told Clinton’s supporters they needed to “get over it.” […]
