The media is scared. They know the end of liberalism as we know it is guaranteed if Dean gets the nomination.
This sounds like a comment meant to scare liberals into action. Almost nothing in politics is permanent.
The struggle is over the day Dean wins the nomination.
On that day, the Democratic party will cease to exist as a national party and a threat to national security.
Its remaining constituency will consist of communists, sex perverts, morons, and trial lawyers.
Nobody thought the Soviet Union would collapse within 12 years of Reagans election.
I predict the collapse of the Democratic party within 8 years.
