Can the Democratic party be so ignorant that they don't realize the magnitude of their loss? While the election might seem to have been close, the constant stream of misinformation conveyed by books, provided by a willing MSM, facilitated by a disgruntled Hungarian billionaire, and marked by some of the most outrageous pandering by a presidential candidate STILL FAILED to place Kerry in the oval office.
The losses in traditional Democratic voting blocks are telling. Kerry is a deeply flawed candidate who has a history of mixing fantasy with reality when reality isn't good enough to salve his ego. A warmed over Kerry in 2008 is as appealing as a piece of rotting meat.
Even Hillary; a pig trying on new lipstick, yet still a pig, has a better chance.
I really doubt that although your swine metaphor is correct. The Shrill may indeed garner the dem nomination and tens of millions of votes, but she never, ever will be elected as Commander In Chief of The Armed Forces. This country has enough kooks to do real damage, but fortunately not enough of them to place The Shrill as leader of the free world and in charge to the mightiest military in the history of the planet.
Think about all the folks that will quit the military and those that will not enlist or re-enlist, it will be BIG news come campaign time - and the notion of The Shrill as CIC will interestingly be enough to force a draft because of attrition. Even the dems will have to railroad her first because of this.
