Unity ??

As we watch the news over the hard fought primaries between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama there has been some very mean rifts. Some, of these rifts have produced some very hard words. But now to the real show! Can the looser, Mrs. Clinton, return a similitude of unity to the D.N.C.??

New York Times:
"The lingering rancor between the sides appears to have intensified at the Democratic convention, with grousing from some Clinton fund-raisers about the way they are being treated by the Obama campaign in terms of hotel rooms, credentials and the like. Tensions were already high, particularly in the wake of revelations that Mr. Obama did not vet Mrs. Clinton or ask her advice on his vice-presidential pick.
Many major Clinton fund-raisers skipped the convention; others are leaving Wednesday, before Mr. Obama’s speech.
More broadly, a consensus appears to have emerged among many major Clinton donors that the Obama campaign did not do enough to enlist their support, according to interviews with more than a half-dozen Clinton fund-raisers.
“I’ve had more contact from the McCain campaign since the nomination than from the Obama campaign,” said Calvin Fayard, a New Orleans lawyer, major Clinton fund-raiser and longtime Democratic donor who is not in Denver this week."


The Christian Science Monitor;
"Clinton speech moves Democrats toward unity, but hasn't clinched it
Her words to the Democratic faithful Tuesday night are a first step, not an end point, toward bringing diehard Clinton fans around to Obama."

Time will give us the answer to my question.
