Reply #6: Given the current Presidential Primary races, I agree with you.

I have seen WAY too many time in recent years (both locally and nationally) when the split in the party continued AFTER the last Primary vote was counted. I see it here at DU too, especially when people are saying they will never vote for _______ and will go third party if this is the Dem nominee.

I dunno. Are we letting external forces divide us with definitions? Is THAT the problem our party faces?

I see a lot of people on here discussing Cindy Sheehan. I have to admit, I'm really kind of mixed on this subject because I am not a huge Pelosi fan. I have a deep respect for Cindy Sheehan, but I question the political wisdom of introducing third party into this discussion. Seems to me that this should a Dem Primary issue. I don't live in that district so I'm relieved not to have to choose sides on it, but I am VERY worried that somehow the Dem party as a whole will be defined on just that one race somehow...
