Do you honestly think that the Democratic party would be so hasty to pull a Newt Gingrich on one of their own?

Ah -- here I disagree. That, to me, is an example of why the Ds are not up to a down-n-dirty political fight.

I believe the *right* thing to do in that situation is for the individual to 'take one for the team'. What the Ds do, like with Clinton, may benefit that one individual and damage the entire party.

To me, that's evidence that the D party is a collection of individuals, going against a 'team'.

Believe me, I have many, many problems with the R party. About the only thing I *do* agree with them on is support for the war.

But I'd say the success of the Rs over the last 12 years proves they're the ones who handle the infighting of politics better.

You have a very good point. And Newt Gingrich might actually be a good example of "taking one for the team." While he was essentially shown the door several years ago, it clearly didn't end his political career. His political star does seem on the rise of late.

Thanks for the post.
