Nice job, Publius! I see the RATs going over to being controlled soon to a new bunch of radical liberals like Soros and Moveon plus the Hollyweirds. That should terminate the party. Where will that leave Hitlery?
That is the 64 million dollar question.
By following Bill's advice, Hillary has positioned herself in the sensible center, which is exactly the right position for winning elections in a two-party race. But first you have to win the nomination, and that requires paying obeisance to the Hard Left. That's the kiss of death.
While the DLC folks behind Hillary work with her as a centrist, the Hard Left believes that in her heart of hearts, she's a Stalinist like them. (Maybe she is and maybe she ain't.) She can support the war, and she'll be forgiven because she is all things to all Democrats. But right now, thanks to Dr. Dean, the Hard Left controls the party bureaucracy, and the Deaniacs (and their foreign backers) control the money spigot. At some point Hillary is going to have to play ball with them, or their support will go to Gore or Kerry.
But once she plays ball, she walks away from the center. Tough conundrum, isn't it?
