While one party stands united behind a candidate (Poor Mike!) the other is decisively split on who they think will best represent them. Unfortunately for us, that means more bickering between the two Democratic (socialist) candidates for at least another month. I was looking at the math and it seems this race could go on for months, or at least right up to the DNC. It’ll be interesting to watch, but will it help or hurt the Democrats over the long haul in this election?

I could see it going either way. The good thing for the Republicans is that they can unify behind one person well before the GOP meets to formally nominate their delegate. This unity in the party can only help strengthen the resolve the GOP should have to make right the mistakes of the past 12 years (since 1996) and to forge a cohesive vision for where this country needs to be. I’d like that vision to include more personal freedom, changes to the tax structure that include less personal and business income taxes, and an overhaul of the Social Security Admin and the health care system in this country from the current system to a privitised system.

For the democrats to unify, it may be a little harder unless both Clinton and Obama end up on the party ticket (something Clinton has alluded to, but I think that Obama might have an issue with it). It seems that people either love or loath the candidates this year. If you love Clinton, you dislike Obama, if you love Obama you dislike Clinton. I feel the Dems have a longer way to go to reach party unity (no matter how hard Howard Dean tries) in this election cycle. Not to mention, that they haven’t delivered on any of their promises either…
