After Texas Will It Be Time For The Democrats To Unite?

I am a Hillary supporter. But I am also a realist. I am thinking that unless Hillary landslides in Texas, Obama will probably have cinched the nomination.

I am also concerned that a split in the Democrat Party would not allow us to take advantage of the current GOP implosion, and increase our numbers in Congress.

Do you think it will be time after Texas for us Democrats to unite and support a common nominee then, regardless of who our nominee might be?

Here in Texas we still remember Waco and the 80 folks the Clintons burned alive, 22 or so were little kids that did nothing to the Clintons.

You had better, if you want to win the general election. McCain continues to garner support of both conservatives and moderates alike. He's also coming close to picking a running mate, which would really solidify the GOP base. I don't know if there will be many Hillary supporters who will turn to Obama. It depends on which matters more to Democrats: the issues or the candidate. If they more about the issues, they will probably go over to the Obama camp sooner, as the two candidates are very close on the issues. But if Hillary supporters are voting for her because of her personality or her experience, they may not give up so easily. Either way, it will still be a long time until this race is settled, because of the superdelegates.

Yes! I am an Obama supporter but if Hillary wins the nomination I will be voting for her...We cannot afford to split the democratic party and we cannot afford another republican...

No, but that's what the media wants you to believe. They keep ranting about "she must win Texas", "she must win Ohio", etc.

Obama is nowhere near the delegates needed to clinch the nomination.
