I think, ultimately, that Dems are trying for a "top down approach" since it seems to have worked so well for the Republicans.

I hadn't noticed that! Very perceptive. First, Clinton sells out his party to the Grifters of K Street to emulate the Republican fundraising apparatus, and now they are opting for a top-down governing model. This won't sell within the party no matter who gets to play the top dog.

...the Dems knew already they had lost the party core "unifying themes" and ergo put out a Facilitator (Kerry), and not a genuine candidate, in attempts to keep the "dialogue" going or even to start.

Again very perceptive. I merely saw Kerry as another representative of New England, that graveyard of American politics. You've delved deeper.

...the "groups" within the Coalition of the Whining are brawling over the financial pittances, and who gets center stage.

Follow the money. Control of the party's fundraising apparatus is the one critical element of this whole mess.

It makes me want to erect a grandstand and sell tickets for the show.

It WILL sell but only to those who stand a chance of getting "PAID". LOL. It's part of the whole socialist (entitlement) mindset. It's "built in". The rank and file will be told it's about "principle". I ask you: "What principles do the Dems have"? "By any means necessary"? lol. The rank and file will only approve as long as the "entitlements" grow, and they get paid "that way".

You are sooo right.

lol. I'd like to buy one, thank you!
