In case Republicans should be tempted to mistake our little debate on "change" vs. "experience" (i.e., Obama vs. Clinton) for a sign of fragmentation, take note: We Democrats can afford a lively debate on the future of our party. The reason Republicans can't agree on a candidate is because of their candidates' weaknesses. The reason Democrats can't agree is because of our candidates' strengths. We happen to have two very strong candidates who are attracting a lot of enthusiastic support. The Republicans have a field of highly flawed candidates from which they are struggling to choose the least flawed option on the basis of electibility (certainly no unifying figure such as they have had in the past, and such as we have two of now), and a Republican record of corruption, arrogance, and disastrously poor judgment on which to run in the general election. Democrats know that, whoever receives the nomination of our party at the end of the day, we are united to win in November.
