I used to wonder who would win the hearts and minds of the Democratic Party. The far left has obviously won the day. Now I wonder how long it will take for the conservatives in the party to give up hope and abandon the party. How long will it be before we see Joe Liberman with an R behind his name?
There are many "traditional" Democrats who detest what their party has become, but who just can't bring themselves to vote for or to become Republican. Maybe we need to help them create a new party (as the Republicans were vis-a-vis the Whigs in the mid-19th Century) so they can move to it. We'd probably lose a few of our more liberal RINOs to such a party, but would that be all bad?
