Yes, but Kennedy, Kerry and Frank are all classic liberal white guys and they don't threaten the usual liberals like a blackish, Chicago Communist Party liberal who has the capacity to destroy the traditional American liberal base.

Obama wants to take liberalism in a direction that the usual Cambridge commy can't even imagine. I will undoubtedly destroy the Democratic Party as the people revolt against the Obama extremism. If we have an election in 2010, Congress will be overwhelmingly Republican.

I think this is a huge problem with the traditional tweed jacket left in this country. They just can't fathom what Obama, Ayers, et al are contemplating because they are plain vanilla lefties, not radicals. They will be on the Radical hit list because they are soft. Remember Trotsky? It didn't turn out too well for that traditional (moderate) lefty either!

If we have an election in 2010

Good post. Ya know, if I were a traditional kind of Dem (one of the few) Obama would scare the heck out of me. An unchecked Obama, Pelosi, Reid triumvirate could damage their party beyond repair. Heck, as a Republican, I was scared about all the reckless spending my party was supporting. And, of course, that had profound effects

Re the 2010 election, I noticed you said "If". That's how I see it as well. I just can't image radical Dems willingly relinquishing power. I can easily see them resorting to some type of obscure tactics to circumvent the normal election processes, especially if they're in danger of being tossed out. They have already corrupted the election process as it is. It's a "good start" for them.

Further thought. Massachusettes has always honored the maverick. Sam Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock (before he got into insurance!) etc. McCain fits this mold. I think that's why Mass has drifted liberal. They LIKE someone who challenges authority. From the Boston Tea Party to the Concord Alarm. It fires them up. Maybe, just maybe, they see this maverick tendency in McCain and its looks good.

We'll see!
