The Wages of Cannibalism

... or "How the Democrats Blew the 2008 Election." We know, we know. It's not even May, but we see evidence piled on evidence that the ongoing battle between Obama and Clinton is in clear and present danger of wrecking the party. The "pro's" who insist there's still time to heal, and that the divisions created in this primary are nothing compared to past divisions, we believe are whistling past the graveyard (or are Clintonistas willing to wreck the party in fruitless pursuit of the nomination). We've been watching elections for well over 40 years, and this. is. not. good.

Meanwhile, the Rethugs and their wholly-owned media are trying (and so far succeeding) in remaking this into a "small" election, with no "small" assist from Rev. Wright. E.J. Dionne explains it best.
