Half of Democrats Say Putting Hillary's Name in Nomination Will Help Unify Party

rasmussenreports.com 55 minutes ago

One third of voters nationwide (33%) agree with Barack Obama that allowing Senator Hillary Clinton's name to also be placed in nomination at the Democratic National Convention will "help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion." But slightly more (40%) believe it will hurt party unity.

Among Democrats, 48% say the move will help on the unity front while 28% disagree. Among unaffiliated voters, 43% say the move will hurt while 27% hold the opposite view.

That headline is hillary-ous. The party is divided in half over what will unify the party.

If they are as conflicted as these poll results, this is going to be real fun.

Everyone remember the press spending months telling us how broken and divided the Republican party is?

Rule One: Dems always accuse you of what they are doing.

And the other half are bitter Hillary supporters who will never let it go... which is fine with me.

Hillary is playing for 2012 at this point.

These must be the “cream of the crop” so to speak -

the dumb masses among dumb masses.

“Half of Democrats Say Putting Hillary’s Name in Nomination Will Help Unify Party”

If it was about a GOP-er, the headline would read:
“50% of Republicans Say Putting _______’s Name in Nomination Creates Disunity.”

What ever happened to Obama stating he wanted ALL the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be counted. Seems he and the media went quiet on that the moment Hillary said she still wanted a floor vote.

Can you imagine all the negative headlines the media would be doing if anything close to this was happening in the GOP??? Everyday we would see headlines talking about the divided GOP and will the GOP be able to survive.

AMEN!! And if party unification is what they're after, why not add THESE names:

KARL MARX

VLADIMIR ULYANOV (aka "LENIN")

JOSEPH STALIN

FIDEL CASTRO

Got about 30 more names here but you get the idea.

... and 40% say it will hurt. That’s a huge number! barack mcgovern got out foxed by clinocchio and the beast and he will regret it. Of course this is great news for America, however!

It really is something to watch, isn’t it? I think that it is only going to intensify as the Democrat Convention approaches. I must say though, I am getting sick of popcorn...

Additionally, there would be a slew of interviews with the “Republicans angry over this Bizantine tactic”
