Re: Obama does NOT have a democratic mandate
by Jen13
The interesting thing to me about this argument it that Clinton, had she earned the nomination, would have been in the exact same situation. Sure half of of the party supported her....and half didn't. Clinton supporters are quick to say Obama can't win without them, well she couldn't have won without Obama supporters either. It isn't like she would have swept in and garnered 100% of the Democratic vote come November. Just like some Clinton supporters will never vote for Obama, there are those like myself (though I am not a Democrat) who never would have voted for Clinton. I fail to see how his win is such a tragedy for the party and the election.
