He added, "Even though people continued to cheer, there was a lot of shifting in seats and realizing that this was something different."

LOL... yeah, right. It's all Rick's fault. They all cheered, clapped, and stomped, but they weren't responsible for it. Other speakers were just as partisan, but they weren't responsible either. Blame Rick.

That rally grew more and more partisan and less and less "memorial" as the night went on. It was planned that way, and the Democrats LOVED it at the time. They loved the fact that they hijacked every non-cable television broadcast in the state, and couldn't resist the urge to use it as a campaign commercial. They loved booing the token Republicans in attendance.

They loved it all, until they realized it had backfired.

It's all Rick's fault.

You've hit the nail on the head. That's what this article is all about -- running for cover and placing blame. Don't these people make you sick?

The only thing, the ONLY thing, these folks regret is that they did not win.

If they could have swung the election their way by clubbing baby seals onstage they would have done it. Things are judged as right or wrong by these people solely as to whether it gets them elected.

It is grotesque, and in this case also pitiful. Pitiful that grown men and women doing these things cannot see the real issue. Pitiful that this guy is probably on a suicide watch because he lost an election for the demonRATs. Someone needs to tell him that he may have done them a huge favor. Especially if this leads to the demonRATs cleaning house and expelling Billary and all his/her minions from leadership.

I missed the full show, but you are right. The rally showed the Demon_rats for what they are. They are so foolish and out of it that they did not realize at the time how cruel the service seemed to the average person. A dignified memorial service with displays of patriotism would have stilled the doubts of many moderates. But who wanted to turn the state over to those zanies?

Besides that, Mondale only looked good when he was smiling. Otherwise he looked like a lab specimen preserved in a glass jar.

I agree with those who thought that Clinton grinning (not strong enough term) with Mondale was disgusting. I kept thinking, "Clinton did Mondull's daughter and they are both leering, or smiling, or yukking it up?" I imagine even some of the most liberal parents care, even in this hedonistic society. It made Mondull look like his was deliberately pimping his own daughter.

Bless their little pea-picking hearts, they haven't figured out yet how foolish they are.

I think the rally publicly showed what I had started to believe long ago about the character of the Democratic Party and its leadership. For me the appologies do not go to address the core issue, "Is this who the Democrats really are?" I'm afraid the answer is YES and nobody has done anything to demonstrate that it isn't.

It isn't Rick's fault. Rick was being himself and Paul's friend.

I love all this RAT back-tracking and blaming! Mc Auliffe made special efforts on TV to distance himself and RATS in DC from any idea that they had organized and choreographed the debacle (for the RATS, that is). Mc Idiot blamed the Wellstone family. What a nice guy at their time of sorrow. Of course, one of the speakers doing the campaign speeches was Wellstone's son. Maybe they were all in on the organization, after all. Does anyone really know the facts?
