Personally, I’m an Obama supporter. I like your underlying point here: John McCain is the opponent, not Clinton or Obama. As you say, Clinton and Obama supporters need to act as if this is the case. When I read comments like this from Clinton, “Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me,” I’m not convinced that she’s willing to play the way you described. Likewise, the story about the super donor putting preasure on Nancy Pelosi about delegates in Fla and Mich doesn’t show me that supporters are willing to play along either. In order for her to actually play tag team, she needs to stop taking shots at Obama.

So yes Clinton should continue to fight. But she needs to stop fighting Obama. Obama has stopped fighting Clinton and has his aim fixed on McCain. And as my dad always told me when I was growing up, it takes two to fight. If one has stopped fighting you, it’s no longer a fight you have. It’s picking on somebody.
