Sweet Jesus, this guy is a piece of work...
"The Resiliency of Sen. Obama's Coalition Will Be Tested; Hillary's Coalition Is Stronger. The grind of a general election will erase the freshness and excitement of the primary season and the success that Sen. Obama has earned in states he has little chance of winning in November will erode. It may even crumble."
This is PRECISELY what disgusts me about the current Party Apparatus. Do they honestly think that having record turnout of people at primaries and caucuses, waiting in the snow (like we did in Maine), dealing with massive levels of disorganization, and all the while, voting decisively for an insurgent candidate, DOESN'T MEAN A GODDAMNED THING???
I have never been a registered Democrat up until yesterday. I have never participated in anything political. Why? Both parties are corrupt, bloated, tired, and frankly, becoming a danger to the integrity of this country. But Ron Paul has no chance of getting anywhere in the GOP, and frankly, I would still like some government services at the end of the day.
Let's put aside the specific candidates for a minute - I am part of the party to crash it, pure and simple. I am an insurgent. I am sending a message to my state and my country that I have had it. It didn't have to be Hillary and Barack. It could have been any Establishment Candidate versus Someone New (provided that the New One had half a brain and a cohesive campaign).
So yes - I want to take this piece of crap we call the Democratic Party down, surrogate by surrogate, apparatchik by apparatchik, until what is left actually has some purpose and meaning. And if my local Dems at the state level think they are getting off easy, I plan to do the same thing. And I have a lot of friends this year.
