Rise and fall of the Democratic party
I caught over an hour of the 2 hour C-SPAN rebroadcast of the DNC, New York City Town Meeting.
This was a meet and greet for the candidates for Terry McAuliffe's position, to those who will be voting from the North East.
Most of the candidates were your hip deep, behind the scenes types. All expoused the points that the Party must
rebuild, if it is not going to keep it self from being destroyed. Of course, this actually reality for the Democrats, but
so far none of them seem to get why they are losing. Of all the candidates, Roemher seemed to get why they are losing.
But worry not, for HARDCORE Leftist in the party won't let that happen.

Howard Dean did very well in both his presentation and his answers. So, while I will not say that he has it locked up.
He performed well, got most of the applause and all of the softball questions.

I did get one laugh out of this show, the question was "11 Democrats brought up objections to C. Rice's appointment.
As the the leader of the DNC would you support or reject the minorty opinion?"
Not that I could not believe that question was asked, it was the answers. For actually a couple of them got it.
To Black America here was an educated, well dressed, intellegent Black woman; who is a high ranking offical in the
current administation. And there were Democrats, who had absolutely no reason (other than she is a Republican)
or chance of stopping her nomination making ad homonim attacks with no substance for a week.
Further alienating Blacks and Hispanics, for how can they trust Democrats; if they will go to these lengths?

Pelsoi and Reid did more damage to Black Democat voters in one week than GW has done trying to move them towards
the Republican party in 4 years. It is like watching Nero playing his violin as Rome burns.
The question is who is Nero? Pelosi, Reid or Hillary?
