#1 Joe: If you love America, run as an independent just in case we need a spoiler to tip the balance.

#2 ..the presence of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton at Mr. Lamont's side on election night suggests...
vote for anyone else.

These two make me sick.

Joe is a socialist with morals and conviction, but he's still a socialist.

#3 It still looks like the far left is flexing its control of the party and forcing the moderates out. Now the party is free for the rich grandkids who never worked an honest day in their lives to run something. The dems will fail.

#4 The moderates are already mostly gone. Now the far left is purging the liberals. Then, I guess the Boslsheviks purge the Menshaviks, then the Stalinists the Trotskyites, then the Bhukarin clique...

As long as it happens quickly enough, the Democrats will lose all theit seats and some new party can pick up the pieces, like in 1854.

#5 Where are all the "Democrat Refugees" going? I'll bet they vote for that yellow dog! :-)

#6 I think the far left knows quite well they are killing the Democratic party. They intend to. They also intend to put an openly socialist, or even farther left, party in its place.

#7 The wackos do not necessarily want to win. That would mean having to compromise on their pet agendas with some of the icky moderates and libs, and occasionally the eeeeevvvvilll Republicans.

That is not their goal, as this frustrated Dem sees it. They want to be morally pure. Defeats are ok as long as their virtue is intact. (Considering how many of them are atheistic, it's the one place where they can safely express any kind of pent-up religious feeling without looking like, you know, those backward types who stupidly fill up the pews in churches and synagogues and believe in a supernatural presence. JMHO.)

#8 I agree with you, Blondie, if we're talking the rank and file.

Kos, Soros and their ilk are another matter. I think they do want power and they want to destroy the central/liberal party to force a more radical one. JMO, though.

#9 lotp, yep, you're probably right. Unfortunately.
