Following Hillary Clinton's defeat in the primaries it has become irrefutably obvious that the liberals are an indispensably critical base of the Democratic Party, without whose support a candidate in the presidential primaries simply would'nt make it through. The demise of Hillary's candidacy bears this out with stark clarity. Because from the very outset she believed---like everybody else, except me---that the primaries were has to lose, she sought to project an aura of inevitability which,for good or evil, conditoned not only her mindset, but also her actions. A case in point, she adpted centrist positions early on in the campaign, without having first ensured that the liberal base of the Democratic Party was consolidated behind her. She defiantly refused to apologize for voting for the war. That was probably the main bone of contention between her and the liberals who were also offended by her centrist votes in the senate that crystallized her fatal effort to prematurely straddle to the center, even to the right for that matter. In short, she was running a general election campaign because in her mind a "primaries victory" was a foregone conclusion. Hence, her sense of entitlement got the better of her. This should serve as a lesson to politician: Never take voters for granted whoever you are. They are smarter than you think.

For the Democratic Party Joseph Lieberman has become a pain in the ass that has befundled Democrats as to what to do with him in the face constant infractions against them that he seems to carried out with deliderate consistency. The impression he seems to convey is that of an individual who is bent on provoking Democrats into kicking him out of the party so that he can officially join the Republican with a clear conscience. He does not want to be the one directly initiating actions that eventuate in the reversion of the senate over to the Republicans. The Dems should wait untill they can safely ensure they achieved an assailable majority in the senate. They can then get rid of him.

Now that Hillary Clinton is set to lose the Democratic nomination before this week all is over, and without any discernible intent to ever throw in the towel, the message she is sending is unambiguously clear: No black man for president. Only a white woman , or white man, period. This racial tone has been resonating in her campaign since losing  ground to Barack Obama. You would have to be naive at best, or brain dead at worst to believe that her actions are not intended to effectively dislodge Obama, even if it means McCain wins as a consequence. The Clintons will, ofcourse, dismiss this as ludicrous as can be expected. But let's us all bear in mind that Republicans, or for that matter Coservatives in general have been in Hillary's corner from the very moment it became obvious that Obama was overtaking her. Republicans have closed ranks around her eversince. And have at times lended their support through crossover voters, as well as their powerful attack machine that has been singing Hillary's praises while spewing the most vicious epithets against Obama.
