A DEMOCRATIC disaster in the November election looms, but it can be avoided by a demonstration of true leadership by the two candidates.
By the end of the primary process, no matter how robust the turnout appears, less than half of all Democratic voters will have expressed their preference. And because the primaries will have extended over such a long period, some voters will have changed their preference by the convention in August. Other entanglements also threaten the possibility of a selection at the convention that would be supported by both constituencies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Two states with significant Democratic strength - Florida and Michigan - may be denied votes, and the specific role of the superdelegates may become a matter of possibly irresolvable contentiousness.
Meanwhile the Democrats come closer to the end of the primary process without a clear choice for president, with alienation between their candidates growing, while the Republican candidate John McCain gathers strength unmolested within his own party and comforted by the squabbling among Democrats.

“but it can be avoided by a demonstration of true leadership by the two candidates.”
LOL, yeah right. Dream on. “True leadership” requires competence.
“How to avoid a Democratic disaster” Easy, don’t vote for them.
I have this picture in my head, Obama and Hillary on the bow of the Titanic.
Fat chance of that.

“Democratic disaster”....now those are two words that go together!
That's a big ring to kiss, Mario.
I thought the two “d” words were synononomous.
We shouldn’t want a repeat of ‘68 because some of that was pretty tough. But a good trainwreck would be fascinating to watch.
Aren’t they really redundant?

What they need is one of those team-building exercises. You know, like Obama gets lowered down a cliff with Hillary belaying the rope. Trust, baby. You just gotta trust.
Hey, I got a great idea! A Dumb / Dumber ticket!
“but it can be avoided by a demonstration of true leadership by the two candidates.”
Neither of them qualify as leaders. That’s the original problem.
His Arrogance Pope Mario the Pious has spoken, so SILENCE, you ignorant peasants!
It is too late,we are going to see far worse than 1968.We are past the point of no return.
So the Democrat's need to become molesters to help further their agenda. /snicker
No, we haven’t seen anything like ‘68 and we should hope we don’t.
Why would anyone want to do that?
Mario, asienta me! Tu sei provio'no sfachime!
Still!

I just think what is in store for this aug. is going to make 68 look like a walk in the park.Hillary is going to get the dem nod and all hell will break loose.
Gee, how non-democrat party of them to create an issue and then create another issue to resolve the first issue. /s
The dem's are lacking at resolving issues even when they create them.
What they need to do is focus on blaming someone else. Oh, wait a minute....
Why?
We get signal
Main screen turn on
Somebody made the bed, now WE get to lay in it.
“Democrat Disaster”
Sounds like the name of a mixed drink. Put dry ice and vodka in a 2-liter plastic pop bottle and screw the lid on tight, then run like hell away from it.

ROTFLMAO!!

"...Think of it, over the next eight years we could elect both the first woman and the first African-American to become president. That's not a dream: It's a plausible, achievable, glorious possibility - if our two remaining candidates have the personal strength and wisdom to make it happen.
"...The joint statement announcing their agreement would rock the nation and resound across the globe - sweeter than any political poetry; smarter and more meaningful than any tightly intelligent political prose.
Surely we, are indeed, slouching with hosannas toward Gomorrah.
Find a candidate who doesn't hate America.
I like watching two Marxists in a fight to the death (McCain is only a brain-dead left-wing globalist).
Maybe hillary and obama can re-inact the seige of Stalingrad at the rat convention in Denver.
Yeah, but that ain't gonna happen.
Easy. Don't vote for one.
Barry ain’t takin no advice from a garlic nose.
JMO, Denver 08 will make Chicago 68 look like a garden party.
"We are birds!! We can FLY!!"
BONK!
"Barry. We need someone to investigate that Ebola outbreak. Hillary just can't go and I got to go to see this business contact down to the airport Marriott."
One can only hope.
While I don't expect any problems at all in my neck of the woods, I intend to man up and be ready. Tis better to have and need not than to need and have not.
Any DEMOniC-RAT Party disaster is a victory for America.
Wow. The democrats really know how to put the “pain” in “campaign”, don’t they?
Hillary will get the nomination, I think. She holds a trump card, a Nuclear Option, that I haven’t seen anyone discuss. Reading the political tea leaves leads me to this theory of what went wrong for the democrats:
The Dream Team Hillary/Obama fix was a done deal. The plan was eight years for Hillary, then eight years for Obama. The Democrats had a lock on the Whitehouse for the next 16 years. What went wrong?
Obama’s task was to knock John Edwards out in SC, leaving only Hillary and himself standing. When he did better than expected, Michelle got uppity and in their pillow-talk conversations, she whispered into his extremely large ears, “You can have it all now, Barry! You don’t have to be Hillary’s house n*gger for eight years.”
The DNC and DLC, craven cowards that they are, caved in when Obama played the race card. They reneged on The Deal and pulled the rug from under Hillary.
The problem is, Hillary still holds the trump card, the Nuclear Option. If she is denied the nomination, she has the power to destroy the Democratic party for at least a generation by simply launching an independent campaign for the Presidency. She will gladly do this to punish the party for betraying her.
An independent campaign would hand the election to McCain, and set Hillary up for a run in 2012. (Thankfully, if the Mayan Long-Count calendar is correct, the world will end before Hillary is sworn in.)
The alternative is for the party leaders to hand her the nomination, but alienate the young voters and the Black voters that they have taken for granted for decades. The hope is that those wounds caused by the subsequent rioting will heal more quickly than the damage that would be caused by Hillary’s Nuclear Option.
The best hope for party leaders is that Barack ObeyMe will self-destruct, giving them political coverage and a way out of this mess. Otherwise, they may have to kill him to save the party. Finding a White Supremacist patsy would be a bonus. (Secret Service monitors: This is just conjecture. I’m not advocating such an event.)
Either way, Denver ‘08 is shaping up to make Chicago ‘68 look like a ladies’ garden club tea party.
Not a fun time to be a Democrat.
