In the coming weeks and months, the best political spectator sport around might not be Democrats versus Republicans or conservatives versus liberals, but Democrats of all stripes turning on one another.
Other than demagoguery, what Democrats are most accomplished at is fratricide (think back to the '60s and '70s). In the wake of Scott Brown's hosing of Martha Coakley, the Democrats are about to have a good old-fashioned civil war. Pity for them; bully for America.
The Democrats are dividing roughly along these lines: left ideologues against pols, the latter being those congressional Democrats who like their jobs and don't intend to wrap themselves in the European Union flag and jump off a craggy cliff into the Potomac.
It's Pelosi and Frank and their ilk versus Heath Shuler and his ilk. But given Tuesday night's win for Scott Brown in deep blue Massachusetts, it may be more than self-styled Democratic moderates who choose to defect. A few liberals may join in, too.

Mort Zuckerman vs Paul Krugman yesterday.
Kruggy is mad because Obama isn’t spending enough.
Mort knows Obama’s schemes will bust the country.
As independents abandon the Democratic party the wacko stew thickens.
Wacko is a good word to describe them. My jaw dropped when Pelosi, asked about the loss Tuesday night, claimed it is because they didn’t communicate to the people well enough about what is in the health care plan.” She is clinically INSANE.
Nothings worse than a scorned woman! She’ll push healthcare as hard as she can just to spite us.
It’s about time. The Dems didn’t get the message with the New Jersey and Virginia elections. Maybe now they will get it. I don’t buy all the ‘blue dog’ Dems. They went along with their party and they should have to suffer, too. The Dems are in shock at losing the ‘Kennedy seat’. Hahahahahahahaha,
Get ‘em skeered and keep the skeer on ‘em.
It would be nice to see the Democrats formally fracture into more than one party. I don’t expect it to happen, but, the liberal/radical Daily Kos types don’t have much in common with the more moderate Blue Dog types.
We voters have the power to change the dynamic in Washington. These mid-term elections will be a referendum on Obama and Democrat governance. They have explained away the Virginia, New Jersey, and Mass. elections as not being about Democrats and Obama. But when the whole country sends a message in Nov. 2010 they won’t be able to spin it.
I may watch MSNBC on election night to enjoy their meltdown.
