To all the ex-"Clinton-haters", what are you doing to create "unity"? HOW are you channeling your vociferous anti-Clintonism into pro-Obama togetherness? A few examples would be nice. Here are a few of what is NOT WORKING:
A prominent donor to Senator Barack Obama recently sent an e-mail plea to other supporters, asking them — for the sake of Democratic unity — to write checks to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to help retire her $23 million in campaign debt.
Some of the replies are unprintable, given the coarse language, the donor said. A sampling of others included:
“Why would I help pay off debts that Hillary amassed simply to keep damaging Senator Obama?”
“Gas prices are up, the markets are in turmoil, my kid’s fall tuition bill is coming soon. Writing checks to politicians I don’t like is not at the top of my list.”
“Not a penny for that woman. Or her husband. Or — god forbid — Mark Penn,” a reference to Mrs. Clinton’s former senior strategist, whose firm is still owed several million dollars for work that included aggressive attacks on Mr. Obama.
As Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton prepare for their first joint fund-raisers to benefit the Obama campaign, in New York City on Wednesday and Thursday, their two camps are straining under the weight of continued resentments, recriminations and feelings that remain raw since the long primary battle.
Understanding the cause at stake, the urgency of winning in 2008, I know there are many who know that after gutting a candidate one has to make believable amends to those wounded. What, exactly, are you doing?

One question Ms Cynthia: why should anyone but Hillary be responsible for the campaign debts she ran up after it was obvious she couldn't swing the nomination?
In a world of scarce resources - which "right choice" is "righter": bailing out Hillary or putting Obama in the WH?
For me, it's a no-brainer - my scarce resources go to defeating McCain!
Spare me the tantrum, please!
