Hillary has hit the unity ball into the other court. If delegates strongly feel the need to vote for her, it is not because she didn't try to persuade them. The choice is theirs.

From the top tier of the Pepsi Center, graduate student Erin Cheuvront was even more confused. "I know the major news broadcasts are spending a lot of time talking about disunity, but all of us here are seeing just the opposite."

Every minute spent trying to fill Hillary Clinton's tin cup is a minute not spent raising that same money for Obama or myriad other candidates. She has sucked bank-fulls of cash out of the DNC donor rolls.

When you run out of money you either fly coach (see John McCain), or drop out (see Joe Biden). You don't rack up a big debt expecting someone to bail you out after the fact.

On the way to the event, I spot another yard sign for John McCain. The McCain signs are exactly the same colors and layout as the the Hillary signs were that dotted lawns across the country in the spring.

An eagerly anticipated set of swing-state polls suggest Obama's support is reaching toward the levels boasted by Clinton last month, signaling a unifying Democratic base.

The Florida Democratic Party Jefferson-Jackson Dinner this weekend was remarkable for the united support of Obama on display. Even representatives of the state's overwhelmingly pro-Clinton women's caucus were wearing Obama buttons.

The nastiness of Obama's supporters' reactions to Hillary even in victory is another version of the politics he wants to end.

If the situation today were precisely reversed and if Hillary were in Barack's place and she were in his -- what would you be saying about Florida and Michigan?

We've been through a painful family feud, but this will be a tough general election fight. We'll come together. Too much is at stake for us not to.

I'm not really sure how to make up with my Hillary-supporting friends. I got damn mad at them. They got damn mad at me. I'm hugging them because I don't know what else to do.

Talk shows should stop exaggerating the candidates' differences since it's nearly inevitable that the two Democratic contenders and their supporters will eventually unite given the stakes of a Bush III.
