when I look at the Bernie supporters I don't see the maturity of understanding what is at stake.

Oh c'mon, it was even more divided in 08 and the Hill people were even less understanding of what was at stake. The PUMAS were a loud and untied front against Obama and 33% even vowed to vote for McCain. I don't see anything like that happening this time around.

Depending on how each candidate rallies their supporters around the other when this is over, will determine how united the democrats will be. Hillary did a great job in 08 for Obama and I'm certain if she's the nominee, Sanders will do the same for her.

(CNN) - Just how badly is the Democratic Party divided?

According to the exit polls, half of Clinton's supporters in Indiana would not vote for Obama in a general election match up with John McCain. A third of Clinton voters said they would pick McCain over Obama, while 17 percent said they would not vote at all. Just 48 percent of Clinton supporters said they would back Obama in November.

Obama gets even less support from Clinton backers in North Carolina. There, only 45 percent of Clinton supporters said they would vote for Obama over McCain. Thirty-eight percent said they would vote for McCain while 12 percent said they would not vote.
