Obama is beating Hilary by more than McCain is beating Huckabee in recent primaries.

So I'm not sure how you can figure that the Dems are split?
Just like here in the forums....my social circle is predominately democrat. The majority are Clinton backers BUT there is one common theme. IF their candidate doesn't get the nomination they'll either NOT vote or vote for McCain. The ones going for McCain are once again predominately Clinton backers while the Obama ones would sit to home on election day. The more they flame each other the worse this will get.

As for the PAST split in the GOP....the New York Times has managed to strike the nerve that is uniting the party. Better to compromise with McCain than to back a bias lib rag like the New York Times. Like the old saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". McCain may not be considered a "friend" yet but is surely an enemy of their enemies.

McCain is anti-Club Gitmo, anti-torture and unlike his Democratic contenders, hasn't been a slave to the earmarks. Seems from the debates last night both Obama and Clintons version of change doesn't include pork projects. There is nothing transparent in moneys allocated that haven't had a chance to be debated in either Congress or Senate.

Have a good one!:s4:
