Hillsdale Prof. Paul Rahe - "Democrat Civil War: Time to Turn to the Capo di tutti Capi?"
BigGovernment.com ^ | 7/29/10 | Prof. Paul A. Rahe

Something ominous is happening within the Democratic Party, and Barack Obama will soon have to start paying attention. For weeks now, James Carville has been railing against the Obama administration’s handling of the oil spill in the Gulf. On Tuesday, Ed Rendell, Governor of Pennsylvania, added further fuel to the flames by issuing a warning. If Obama did not start pulling troops out of Afghanistan in July, 2011 as promised, he predicted that there would be a political insurrection within the party and that the President might face a primary challenge. It is in no way surprising that the Republicans have revived Hillary Clinton’s famous “3 a.m.” political advertisement and have given it a new spin, for they smell blood in the water. “Hillary was right,” they say. After the oil spill, the proverbial telephone rang and rang and rang, and the President . . . golfed, partied with celebrities, and went on vacation again and again.

Voldemort - er, Carville is only partially correct.

There is going to be a civil war - but it won’t be among democrats - it’ll be against them.

Wikileaks claims WH was sent documents before public release but received no reply. Seems the WH by saying nothing signalled it’s acceptance of the release.

I am certain the idea was to release more “bad stuff” to further turn the nation against the war and give Ostupid and the cut and run libs the excuse they need to get out. It’s a replay of Vietnam.

Nobody will challenge Obama in 2012. Nobody.

It doesn't matter if everyone knows he is going down to defeat...if it's known he will lose all 50 states by 20 points.

A primary challenge to Obama in the primaries will cause the black vote to sit home when the general comes around...and they'll sit home for every election for the next 10 years.

It's axiomatic...and it's the fruit of identity politics.

Obama is too arrogant to go to Slick Willie hat in hand. Hillary will stab him in the back. The dems who want power and money but do not want to see the nation driven to its’ knees are starting to freak out about these bastards.

Leave the gun. Take the canolis.

Absolutely correct. The Democrat party is owned by identity politics...not the other way around. They are stuck.
