Could Race Destroy the Democrats? By MICHAEL DUFFY
2 hours, 13 minutes ago



Whenever longtime Democrats gather to note how the chemistry and calculus of the 2008 campaign seem to favor their party this year, one or another will always add some version of the following: "Yeah, but we could screw this up before it's over."


After the past few days, the pertinent question to ask is, is the crack-up happening already? Far-fetched as it would have seemed a month ago, the seeds of self-destruction are being planted in the war of coded words about race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The bickering has exploded in the space of a week into Topic A in the Democratic race, supplanting for the moment the war and the economy and health care - and shows no sign of a quick resolution.


So yes, are the Democrats about to screw it up yet again?



Oh and by the way, John gets my vote!

1. After reading numerous online articles, both right and left, I would

say this article nails it. It's disgusting and a major turnoff. It makes Dems look immature and the candidates look like they're running for student council. Bill Clinton, BTW, needs to STFU, stay out of it. Hill is a big girl and can take care of herself. Send him home.

2. Just unfuckingbelievable!

[Olney Blue]

3. I agree. Bill is not helping.

[Zywiec]

4. Well he's appearing with Al Sharpton

so you know that must be a good move to keep this on the DL.

[malaise]

5. Not unbelievable at all

that's MSMs plan - spin this race thing and divide.

Go John Edwards.

8. WOOT!

AND pass the ammo!

[Pathwalker]

6. Eight years of destruction is NOT ENOUGH! I want TWELVE!

or SIXTEEN! I'd rather sacrifice my country than MY MY MY MY MY principles!!!! Because it's really all about ME, ME, ME, Me, ME!

:sarcasm:

What DU looks like, these days.

[NoBorders]

7. Clinton and Obama need to take the lead

And put an end to this crap for the good of the Dem party.

[Buck Stopin Harry]

9. Yes it is a sad mess but they have an obglation to address

all the issues that voters want addressed. Besides it will be forgotten in a couple of weeks.
I do agree that it is a well written piece.
Although could it be possable that Hillary could so polerize the country that even if elected as president. Could it be possable that she,being so hated by the repukes . Would be hounded relentlessly, by every Rebublician everywhere. from every direction. She has such a long standing history of drawing fire. It's kind of like they have her number. And they have gotten good at zeroining in on her. It's like they have this long laundry list to constantly use to great effect.
So much so could it possably render her Presidency crippled. Crippled right from the beginning.
Do we really want to put everyone through such a dirty fight for 4 years. We have a chance to do better. Should we take it?
Just wondered what you thought.

[monmouth]

10. Your points are spot on. That long laundry list will be used over and

over, whether it was Bill or she. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. I'm sick of them all. Time for a clean slate.

[Buck Stopin Harry]

14. Correct Monmouth A clean slate is past due

Otherwise the only people who gets thier business done are the Corporations.

19. We have this dealybob here called

spillchick, if'n you wanna see if you got it right? :shrug: Just say'n, as I couldn't read my own posts if they did away with it. :evilgrin:

Oh and welcome to DU! :toast:

[elizfeelinggreat]

11. sounds like

Rove crap if you ask me.

[Buck Stopin Harry]

12. Yes that's what I'm talkin about. Someone like Rove get's

A hold of this and the attacks never seem to end, with no hope of the peoples work being acomplished.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. The Democratic Party has survived a helluva lot worse than this squabble.

Do any of these pundits ever read history? They seem to think that rather normal trashing of candidates is unique this year.

[spanone]

15. they wish....bullshit...cnn had this spin going too.

[MasonJar]

16. The Clintons are well-known as supporters of black citizens. That should be the end of the conversa
