What Can be Done to Unite the Country?

United we stand, divided we fall. After a divisive presidential election, the country now must heal and move forward. But how?

After billions of dollars and almost two years of constant campaigning, there's very little difference in Washington. The Presidency, the House and the Senate remain as they have been since 2010. Despite all the rhetoric, no one party was given any overwhelming mandate by the voters. They are still each blaming the other side for the gridlock and the gridlock remains.  So where do we go from here? How do we come together?  What do you think our elected officials need to do to unite the country? What do we as individuals need to do to learn tolerance of each others views?

Dems say Convention Gave Obama a Bounce, GOP Less Likely to Think Events Matter

Patch polled elected officials and activists in both parties to find out how they felt about their recent conventions. Both sides felt their own party got a boost, but Democrats expressed stronger feelings about the momentum they say Obama got.

Patch tapped our panels of influential Democrats and Republicans for twin polls, which were conducted this week. The results are unscientific. Democrats and Republicans were polled separately, with people from each party asked to focus on their own presidential candidate's performance and their own party's convention. Patch received responses from 31 Democrats and 56 Republicans. Do you have a suggestion for future polls of influential Republicans and Democrats? Tell us in the comments area below this article.
