"Tensions Boil in Obama, Clinton Camps" - and the pile of bullshit from the media begins to build
They hope to repeat it until it becomes true, fanning phantom flames. :mad:

DENVER (Aug. 25) - As Democrats arrived here Sunday for a convention intended to promote party unity, mistrust and resentments continued to boil among top associates of presumptive nominee Barack Obama and his defeated rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

One flashpoint is the assigned speech topic for former president Bill Clinton, who is scheduled to speak Wednesday night, when the convention theme is “Securing America’s Future.” The night’s speakers will argue that Obama would be a more effective commander in chief than his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

More at the link, and a poll.

2. If he felt this strongly why didn't he say something sooner?
It's hard to imagine that he had no choice.

3. All the media's hand-wringing will get viewership up.
...But all they will see is a happy ending. Hillary will give a great speech and turn over her delegates. Bill, in spite of himself will give a great speech (although no doubt too long).

No need to worry.

4. Truth is, in the end we always band together behind the ticket, even if it means holding our noses
while pulling the lever. This fact continues to be ignored. Not enough drama, I suppose. :eyes:

5. Let's see, you got this fromTime/Warner/AOL/CNN, hmmmmmm
It is bullshit, and a distortion of reality

Greater than 90% of Hillary supporters DO NOT WANT mccain, and WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA

There is NO divide, except from a small minority who may not even be Democrats OR Clinton supporters

Because of this distortion, record numbers will turn into our Convention, hear our message, and understand the disconnect between us and the bush/mccain polcies of the last 8 years

This will backfire BIG TIME on the repukes, and the MSM

We will come out of this convention more united than we have been in YEARS

We control the show, they don't

6. Original story came from Politico.com
Most likely another group of RW hacks.
