9. I think we are always searching for that elusive "party unity".

Achieving party unity is about as easy as herding cats.

Didn't Mark Twain say something like "I don't belong to any organized party, I'm a Democrat"???

But, we DO tend to come together over the really big stuff, like Social Security.

Additionally I was impressed over how all our different factions came together after the primary last year and supported the nominee. We can debate whether that was a good thing, or whether we would do it again, but I saw real support for Kerry and that is a testament to those who really wanted to do what was best for the party and the country.
