In order to win the presidency Obama must quickly readjust his strategy. ++ The long and fierce battle between the two democratic candidates has alienated supporters from both sides. ++ In the May 20 Kentucky primary, 2/3 of Clinton supporters said they will vote for the Republican candidate or not vote at all if Clinton is not the nominee.++ Though voters now prefer Democratic policy positions on most major issues, Obama has only a 0.7% lead over McCain. ++ The top priority for Obama is to mend fences with Clinton and unite the party.
