Enough is enough, or is it?
When will the Clintons determine that they've done enough damage to the Democrats' chance of winning the White House this fall? June, July, August, never??
Maybe this is the final fiasco of the Democratic Party, the absolute Last Straw.
I, for one, (probably one of millions) will never work for a Democratic presidential candidate again if this easy lay up is blown.
It'll be time to stop all the excuses and instead work to build a truly independent political movement and a multiparty system once and for all.

I think the move to build an independent political movement has quietly been gaining more strength for a few years now.

I think you may be on to something about an "independent political movement", but I doubt we see the opportunity in quite the same way: I'm more inclined to think of the opening as being in the CENTER - somewhere around Evan Bayh, Chuck Hagel, Arlen Spector, the northeastern Republicans, Harold Ford, the remnants of the southern Dems (yes, probably the original Bill Clinton constituency), etc. I tend to think it is genuine MODERATES who need a real home. Modern-day Dems. and Republicans already have one on each wing.
People can honestly disagree about that, but i think it's fair to say that my personal sense of disillusionment with the standard 2-party arrangement grows (along with yours) with each passing day.
