Faced with a vocal crowd of Obama backers, Clinton all but
abandoned typical campaign rhetoric. He mentioned his wife's candidacy
only briefly, and instead focused his comments on a call for party
unity against the Republicans in November.
"Don't you forget why you came here. You did not go to all this
trouble to have an argument with each other," Clinton said. "The
argument is necessary so we can pick the best president and the most
electable one. Those are the only two things that matter. ... After
that, we have to get the show on the road, folks. We have a country to
change and a future to secure."
That's more like it!

Maybe it's just me, but I don't get his comments. In one sentence he says 'don't argue with each other', then in the very next sentence he says "The argument is necessary..." I mean, I get all the remaining part of the paragraph where he calls for unity, but why does he tell this "vocal" Obama crowd not to argue but then proceeds to explain why his argument is necessary.
Lately, I am just puzzled by the guy. But, I admit, I could just be exhausted by this primary. So, I am all in favor of unity, however we come by it.
