Survival guide for Obama organizers to integrate Clinton supporters

ILLUSTRATED: How to heal the Democratic party, and begin a new epoch of party dominance.

I was a Kerry organizer since the summer of 2003. The most difficult of the 15 months was March, 2004. That is when we blended the activists of defeated Democrats after the primary. Here are some tips.

1. First, it is the Obama campaign's responsibility for making this happen with grace and order.
2. You will face some barbed comments and frustration. Basically, for the few difficult people you will face, turn the other cheek once and forgive. Then don't give them any responsibility until they have an affirmative attitude about Obama.
3. Reach out slowly to selective Hillary people
4. Host parties in the homes of Hillary supporters
5. Speak inductively, not about Obama himself, but about the transformation in American politics that HRC's candidacy was a part of. We need to keep it going.
6. When you do talk about Obama, talk about his ability to both inspire and sustain an organization for a Democratic dynasty. This is exciting.
7. Ultimately, the majority of HRC supporters will come over based on the pride you show in your work for Obama
