After today's "Unity Rally" with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, some Democrats are making their voices heard on the national scene and saying NO to Barack Obama. I can't recall such an asserted effort to denounce a party's nominee in the past. Perhaps it is just the new age of the internet and cable news that makes it seem more prevalent.
That aside, it does not take away from the fact that there still seems to be a fracture in the Democrat party that,if continued, would certainly shave a few points towards John McCain in November.
Add in Bob Barr's Libertarian run and the race could be even more complex.
At this point in the race these "spinoff" groups may not be a factor but the Democrat convention is two month's away. I have heard several pundits suggest that anything can happen between now and August and I agree.

Fox News has reported that representative Keith Ellison (D) had a heated exchange with the Obama campaign over the exclusion of two muslim woman from seats within camera shot of one of Obama's rallys.
By Chad Pergram
An apology issued by Barack Obama to two Muslim women booted from the front lines of a public appearance by the Democratic presidential candidate last week was orchestrated by Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress.
Multiple congressional sources confirm that it was Ellison, D-Minn., who confronted Obama over the issue during a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus.
Obama called the women to apologize after two volunteers with the campaign removed the women from the stage area behind the location where Obama would be speaking. The volunteers allegedly told the women it was because they were wearing traditional Muslim scarves.
Sources told FOX News that it was Ellison who raised the issue of the alleged impropriety with Obama and provided the prospective nominee with the women’s phone numbers.
One key lawmaker who was present described the exchange between Obama and Ellison as “cordial” but “direct.”
Another source familiar with the exchange added that many members of the CBC supported Ellison and said “it was an issue that needed to be addressed.
However, congressional sources indicated that Ellison’s exchange with Obama was so intense that CBC Chairwoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich., had to intervene and attempted to gavel down Ellison. read more »

John McCain will be interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on Fox. This follows OReilly's interview of Hillary Clinton last week.
The show airs at 8:00PM EST on the Fox News Channel.
O'Reilly has the highest rated show on cable news. This will give McCain some needed exposure and will help him convey his message to the American people and certainly help to counter some of the "over exposure" that the Democrat nominees are currently receiving.

Here is the video of Hillary Clinton on Bill O'Reilly's show "The Factor" on Fox News.
O'Reilly says that her views sound socialist and Hillary responds.
It's great to see McCains competition respond to direct questions about the issues.
The interview will continue tommorow and they will discuss the War and American Security.
I suspect that some of the things said by Clinton will be useful in the coming weeks as she may back away from her comments or say that they were "Taken out of context". :)

Tonight on Bill O'Reilly's "The Factor" on Fox news, O'Reilly said that John McCain would appear on the show next week. O'Reilly said that he was prepared to ask McCain the tough questions including his stance on immigration.
McCain will be in New York on May 7th attending the New York Finance Reception.
John McCain returns to New York, and is joined by Mayor Rudy Giuliani, for a finance reception, cocktails and conversation, at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers on Wednesday, May 7 at 6:00 p.m.
I would bet that his interview with O'Reilly would occur on the same day.
Udpate: O'Reilly said,"I'm going to interview John McCain next week.It's going to be the same exact interview(as the Clinton interview). It's going to be me and McCain in little chairs and I'm going to ask him mano a mano and I'm going to ask him just as tough questions as...Blah..But I could go back in McCain's life and I could pull out stuff that he did crazy.But I'm going to ask him about immigration and all of that..."
