I thought that last night was the night that it became clear that the Democrats are going to lose the general election. She is running such a lackluster campaign and seems simply not to be appealing to a large enough segment of the base AND YET Obama does not seem to be able to knock her out. How will he ever compete against an organized John McCain campaign that by default will have the backing of most if not all of the traditional republican voters and a good portion of democrats as well. Remember, McCain is not some kind of arch conservative and, setting aside the very recent murmurings about his cozying up to the religious right, he has traditionally been very critical of the extreme wing of the republican party. <BR/><BR/>As a lifelong Democrat (who would probably have been a Reagan democrat 30 years ago) the malaise of the Democratic party and its ability to continually advance candidates who are simply too liberal for most Americans to vote for makes me sad. Although I am not really sure what I am sad about -- other than the 8 years of Clinton that has been the case since LBJ. I think the Democratic party is out of synch with America. They didn't get that when they lost to George II in 2004 and they don't seem to be getting it now. Although I like McCain, I do not appreciate what is effectively a one party system in the United States and wish there was some viable alternative to the republicans. On a national level the Democratic party is no longer viable as far as I am concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
