"The First Battle of Bull Run (or First Manassas, if you insist) in this civil war occurred in 2003 and early 2004, when party insiders, the Mainstream Media and a network of long-time “funders” anointed Sen. John Kerry, only to see him get chewed up in the early going by Gov. Howard Dean."
And they didn't learn the lesson of Dean's self-immolation - that even the wimps in the Old Media are turned off by the high-pitched lunacy of the "progressive" fringe.
I love the sound of Liberals self-immolating in the morning ....
sounds like .... victory ....
