[history]
December 10, 2003 -- AL GORE made it crystal clear yesterday that one of his prime goals in endorsing Howard Dean for president is to kiss Bill Clinton's Democratic Party goodbye. "We need to remake the Democratic Party," Gore said as he threw his support to Dean at a breakfast just down the street from Clinton's Harlem office and gave the front-runner a big boost toward the 2004 Democratic nomination.

Naah, this is the puppet masters making the rank and file dance to their own little tune. Just wait and see what happens. We could be looking at a Gore/Clinton ticket yet.

"We need to remake the Democratic Party," Why pick the 60's?
Well, if anyone should know about "remake" it would be ol' Al. He has been remade more x than I can remember.
I find Rangel backing Wesley Clark interesting, .
But I would rather know who the swimmer is backing! And I think it is still Kennedy's Bill Clinton's Democratic Party.

Politics is such a variable and changing monstrocity. As the Republicans move to the left, the Demoncrats have to move farther left to create issues to take to the voters. Both parties could possibly wind up in the lap of the NSP (National Socialist Party).

The few remaining Democrats who are not at the mercy of the fever of putting Herself in the White House may possibly succeed in only managing to put the Democrat party in the ditch for several years, not allowing it to plunge into the abyss.
There will be several years before the Democrats can expunge their ranks of this poison, a suppurating infection that has sapped their strength and ability to reason logically. There was an opportunity, back in 1998, to purge themselves then, by demanding the focus of the infected thinking resign from office. But party was vastly more important than principle. They may lose power, doncha know.
The Republicans had gone through a similar devastation in 1974, when the Republican leadership of the House and Senate marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and demanded that Nixon resign, to avoid an almost-certain impeachment hearing. For this, the Republicans wandered in the wilderness for the span of the Carter Administration, but recovered to the degree that Ronaldus Magnus brought the American people, and the Republican party, back to respectability.
In one important aspect, it makes no difference whether a bad Chief Executive is removed from office or not. The party to which he belongs will suffer the consequences for years. If the departure is voluntary, the years will be shortened. But if the situation is fraught with denials and resistance, and the object of the political fight, clearly in the wrong, insists on standing ground despite overwhelming evidence of incompetence and mendacity, it will take far longer to reestablish trust and plausibility with the American people.
Repent, Democrats. You may never understand or agree with the positions taken by those whom you consider to be "righteous", but base your opposition on something more logical than blind and unreasoned defense of the incompetence of the regime of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001". They have been false prophets, and have failed you miserably.

Excellent analysis at your #12.

Republican Senator Inhofe's plane was small, a single-engine private craft. Fortunately he survived the loss of his propeller - an almost unheard-of failure, btw - and landed safely.
Just goes to show how much the Clintons hate to be accused of treason.

I find Rangel backing Wesley Clark interesting... I find Clark's pondering the Beast as a running mate to be hilarious and extrememly short-sighted.
I'm sure the Presidency is important to Clark, but is it really worth getting to savor the Oval Office for 10 minutes before contracting the Arkansas Flu?

Pass the popcorn, please. I just can't get enough of "Democrats Behaving Badly." It's my favorite show on television.
