I've been a member of DU for 7 years and I'm sensing something I haven't seen for 7 years of DU.... Advertisements [?]I'm sensing Unity. I'm sensing that for the first time in 7 years all DU seems not only on the same page with this election but with the same enthusiasm. There's just something different about this election that I never felt with 2004; in fact the last time I really felt this was 1992 (which yes there was no DU but the excitement was just the same).

Am I the only person that is feeling this? I drive around and I'm seeing an overwhelming support for Obama. I hear people talk about him at work - talking positive about him. And here at DU, well we have Nader and McKinney both running on 3rd party progressive tickets and I see no one shouting "Damn this ticket I'm voting 3rd Party".

Something has changed. The Obama/Biden team is an inspiration that even I admit I couldn't quit get with a Kerry/Edwards or even a Gore/Lieberman ticket of elections past. There is truly a high level of excitement I thought I would never see after this primary season. But truly this year we are united as ever to take back this party!!

<:woohoo:>

Oh brother! It's easy to have unity when you ban or chase off everyone who disagrees with you.

25. Very pleased with the way DU has come together
especially after the Hillary-Obama split. Man, that was hard to go through!

I think what really helps unity is success. We really feel we've got something going on this election. And the other side's got nothing.

I remember watching them jump out of windows after the 2004 election. That was some good unity.

I hear people talk about him at work

I wonder where this loser works.

I also hear people taling about Obama where I work but it is mostly making fun of him.

Imprisonment, beatings, gulags, "nacht und nebel"; this is the Left's "unity".

It was easy for them to "Bring DU together after the Hillary/ Obama split": They simply tombstoned all the Hillary supporters who wouldn't convert to Obamunism.
