Whether you think it is a good idea or not, it is part of a larger plan

While we were sleeping it seems there's been a coup in the Democratic Party

Boy those in the Clinton machine must be pissed and looking for the exits to the New Regime

This is EXACTLY the plan. That was the overarching message at Camp Obama which trained cadres for the Primaries

Obama Organizing Fellows will carry on this summer for the general election.

ObamaNation - The Stunning Consolidation of the Democratic Party

You know all that old-style Washington politics preventing real change? As hard as it might be to handle, in a lot of ways he means that those of us who believe in partisan hard edged combat are part of an outmoded system. It doesn't actually divide cleanly; old hand Tom Daschle is a key figure and likely to be Obama's chief of staff, and Artur Davis is likely to be his Attorney General. These are old school Democrats, and Obama's machine is full of the Congressional wing of the party that lost out in 1992 to Clinton and his people.

This isn't a criticism; again, Obama made his bet that the country isn't into ideological combat and wants a politics of unity and hope, and he has won at internally. In terms of the 'Iron Law of Institutions', the Obama campaign is masterful. From top to bottom, they have destroyed their opponents within the party, stolen out from under them their base, and persuaded a whole set of individuals from blog readers to people in the pews to ignore intermediaries and believe in Barack as a pure vessel of change. It's actually very similar to Clinton from 1994-2000, where power and money in the Democratic Party is being centralized around a key iconic figure. He's consolidating power within the party.

Now here's the part that's unclear. Obama has successfully remade the Democratic Party already, and shown that old partisan Washington politics is over if you are a Democrat. Can he do that with Republicans? By stripping power, money and responsibility from outside groups and opponents, Obama is increasing his control of the party apparatus. He is also, however, putting everything on his own shoulders. When the Swift Boaters come back, and they will, it's all on Obama and his movement to hit back. He's betting that he can strip power from their base just as he stripped power from the old Washington way of doing politics within the Democratic Party.

OK you Obamanoids....Find the nearest Clintonista, slap a big nasty wet one on em and sing along (Eric is MINE!)

PS - Chris Cilizza reports that SD vote counters from both camps tell him that there is substantial number of SuperDelegates who have warned Clinton to stop trashing Obama lest they come down on her like God's avenging angles

Otherwise they await the Day of Majority of SuperDelegates

Jimmy Carter, known agent provocateur for Hamas and Enemy of Israel, shortly after his treasonous trip to the Middle East, also praised Obama as someone who'd be a respected voice to the House of Peace

How does that coincide with your post-war Muslim conspiracy, Mandrake? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? That's the way your hard-core Terrorist works.

What a loathsome creature.

And so I say again....McCain Lieberman 2008

That's a win-win

McCain can claim that it shows TRUE independence from the liberal Democratic Party than BETRAYS America just as they BETRAYED Joe Lieberman

Why should we have to endure a YANKEE Zell Miller

BTW Olbermann reminds that he slimed similarly in his first senate race..it was Fidel Castro at the time

Listening to MSNBC today. At the risk that this may send Obamanoids running to hug the nearest toilet bowl

In rapid order on the MSNObama network Andrea Mitchell features Obama's kiss Hillary and pivot to McSame; Eric Holder (former Reno assist AG), and Tad Devine.

Welcoming Hillary's coming victories in KY and WVa and looking forward to the day she decides to join the fight against the real adversary
