How about this for a message of unity?

[Vattel]

Regardless of who wins the nomination (and in my opinion it is highly likely that Obama will win), we should unite behind that person because HE OR SHE will:

1. restore habeas corpus and other constitutional rights (Unlike Clinton and Obama, McCain voted to eliminate many of those rights by, e.g., voting for the Military Comissions Act);

2. move the nation in the direction of a single-payer universal health care system (the only sane system);

3. END MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAQ (McCain somehow doesn't realize that spending billions of dollars killing people is almost never a cost-effective and moral means to the end of making the world a better place; on his view foreign aid is great so long as it is really expensive and involves a lot of killing);

4. take meaningful steps to address global warming;

5. appoint supreme court justices who aren't interested in making the executive branch aqbove the law;

6. restore America's image in the world thereby greatly enhancing our security;

7. support economic policies that do not simply put money into the pockets of the rich (Unlike Clinton and Obama, McCain Voted Against a Clean Minimum Wage Increase for Working Families. McCain voted with the Republicans in 2007 to stall a clean minimum wage increase for working families— before bowing to public pressure and voting to pass the final bill that included tax breaks for businesses. He even voted to completely repeal the minimum wage laws in 45 states and allow the other five states to opt out of any future minimum wage increases above $5.15 an hour. )

8. oh hell, if you don't get it by now, you don't get it.

Obama and Clinton both represent a radical CHANGE from the last eight years. Both are vastly superior to McCain. True democrats will care enough about the country and the world to vote for either Obama or Clinton.

3. you are welcome,

but my guess is that there's not a lot of support around here for being pro-Obama and pro-Clinton.
