Most important is what comes later. When Obama loses big time, Hillary is going to try and take over the party, followed by a major purge of both Obama supporters and the anti-Hillary faction led by Al Gore.
She will be able to purge the Obama faction, and with it the Moonbats who already hate her. This will also mean bye-bye to Pelosi as Speaker, though Reid may survive. But a lot of the rank and file radicals are going to be booted out.
In turn, to prevent Hillary from completely owning the rest of the party, the Al Gore faction will do one of two things: either split the party further and create a serious ‘Green’ party, fleshing out the skeleton that exists right now. Or else reach a temporary truce like they have now, with all the infighting going on behind closed doors.
In either case, as soon as Obama loses, Hillary will unofficially declare for the election of 2012. And the dance will begin anew. But without the utter fruitcakes.
That’s a pretty plausible sounding read on what’s unfolding with the Dims.
