None of the anti choice, anti "extreme liberal", anti "democrat" party, are going to be reached by Obama's message of "unity". It doesn't move me, because I am aware that it is meaningless.
Gotta disagree, dux. I'm saying that the people who DON'T look at Obama as a politician who is "pro abortion", "even in the third trimester", a democrat -[ic] candidate of the "extreme left", are ALREADY pretty much together. They don't NEED a "uniter".
The rest are unreachable... Obama actually drives them further away from the rest of us. They are the ones who have held power since 2001, dux. You see how the senate and house republicans operate. They vote as a block. They are a reflection of the people who vote for them.
I think you know what I think of McCain. With that, I believe McCain is much more potentially a candidate to bring people together, than Obama is. No one who is opposed to Obama for the reasons I stated, is coming "over to him".
Go spend an hour over at
www.townhall.com . Read about these guys, listen to their shows on the radio or read their show transcripts:

Obama is not going to be bringing them, or their listeners, together with the rest of us. If you watched any of the republican debates, I know you know this. It's half the actual voters in the country, dux.
