Party Unity is all the rage from the media, and the surrogates in Denver this week,  is it real?
Well not even close.  At HillaryClintonforum.net the talk is still centered around protests and indignation at Barack Obama.  Topics range from Obama's fund raising efforts and whether or not he is even legal eligible to be president.

Without listing every forum on the web, let me just give you a broad overview of what the grass roots is saying.  The Hillary supporters are not a happy bunch and one can hardly blame them.  I think most people expected the big surprise of Hillary as VP.  The consensus among both sides before the Biden pick was that this would have truly united the party.  The Republican's are ecstatic at the Biden pick.  Not because it's Joe Biden, but because it isn't Hillary.  The deep dark fears emanating from the Republican grass roots was that an Obama/Clinton ticket would have been unbeatable. 

Obama supporters backlash.  For the first time in crossover forums (where both Obama and Clinton supporters gather) we're seeing some real fighting going on.  Ed Rendell prompted this when he called MSNBC's coverage of Obama embarrassing.

The choice of Biden will effect McCain's VP pick, make no mistake about it.  Pawlenty should be out, and the stock of Fiorini and Romney will rise.  Why? Biden can be an attack dog, Romney will be able to defend himself, and Biden will just look bad attacking a female.

Right now the mood can only be described as tentative.  The grass roots Democratic party members are a far cry from unified.  If Obama is to win this election, Hillary and Bill Clinton will have to work some real magic. Only the Clinton's can unify the party at this point.

More each night and every morning.
