Monday night I decided to write a diary to address something that concerns me very much - the possibility of a fractured party no matter which democratic candidate secures the nomination.
Perhaps my concern was not misplaced!
In poll I included, which admittedly represents a small sample size (guess everyone was busy reading more divisive diaries??), which asked this question:
"Above all, I want to help establish a strong campaign to win the presidency no matter who wins the nomination, and I want to help the netroots attain a position of substanitial influence with the incoming adminstration"
...42% of respondents indicated, "No, I'm sorry I cannot see myself enthusiastically supporting anyone other than my candidate".
Wow. Just wow. Is this really true? Are 40+ percent of people frequenting this site ready to 'burn it all' down if they're chosen candidate doesn't win? I wanna try this one more time to see if that many people have really jumped the shark on being loyal to working with whichever Democrat wins the presidency.
